I am semi outraged.......

.... I know, I've been absent. I have had lots to do you see. Mummy has been distressed recently so I've been looking after her - and sending angry ears thoughts to whoever needs them!

I'm very sad myself at the moment. We had some bad news today. Pops has not been right for a little while - getting confused occasionally, and we have been very worried about him. I've even had to be nice to him! SEMI OUTRAGEOUS!!

Hilda, our most favourite'ist vet in the world was back out today, and poor Pops is almost blind now. His one eye has gone sooooo, soooo cloudy - so quickly. We are all very sad. Hilda is VERY happy that Pops is in excellent condition for his age, and that while he is happy in himself pottering about the field - she is happy for him to carry on being spoilt by us all (which means more spoiling for me too!). She says we are all in superdooper condition. Hilda gave Mummy more bad news yesterday when Mummy rang to book the visit - today was her last day at the vets. She was just about to ring us, when Mum called to make the appointment. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! She is going back to South Africa. It was sad day all round as she particularly wanted to come and say goodbye to us all anyway. We were her favouritist horses to visit. BooooHooooo!

Mummy is very sad about Pops, and she has been crying. Auntie Sharon is sad too - but at least she knows that when Pops stomped on her foot, it was an accident really as he probably didn't see her foot!

Mummy and Daddy fed Pops by holding his bucket tonight, they were telling him that they loved him, and when he was ready, he was to tell them. If it started getting too confusing and scarey for him anymore, he had to let us know. It made me feel sad too. I'm going to have to be a guide horse for him. I'm not wearing a harness though! Mind you - there could be benefits, I think guide horses are allowed in shops - which means I could go into the veg section in supermarkets! I could check out the organic carrot section! Perhaps I should get a harness then!

On another note, I've been practicing my best 'understanding face and ears' This is it - what do you think?
I think I look very caring in this photo. I'm also practicing saying "how are you feeling Eunoch, I mean Pops?" I think I will be very good at this nursing lark.

These are our most favourite pics of Pops. Don't tell him I said so, but he looks very handsome in them.

I can't believe I'm actually asking this - yes, I AM thinking about someone other than myself - please can my blog fans spare some goodwill thoughts for the old fool. I love Pops really - and I will NEVER admit that in public again!
