Out at the horsies, I have lots of friends. Because people come and go all the time, they aren’t all there at the same time, but there is usually someone to play with! One of my favourite friends is a little doggy called Sparky.

Now usually I don’t play with little doggies very much, mostly cos they are scared of me and don’t really know what to make of me when I tower over them. I can’t help it! But I think Sparky sees me as just another doggy, not a big doggy, and that’s fine with me.

Me and Sparky have a couple of very important things in common. We both love sticks…

And we both love chasing, and being chased, especially with sticks!

Another good thing about Sparky is that he’s not afraid of a good bit of rough-and-tumble. I swear he’s the one who starts it!

All I’m doing is defending myself!

Raaaar! Do I look scary?

Scary enough, apparently! I rolled him! Definitely a win for me this time..

Though he recovers pretty quick and makes a bolt for it!

Sometimes me and Sparky just like to hang out for a bit together (preparing for round two, and three!).

While he marvels at the size of my tongue.

Next up, another one of my friends at the horsey place! Bet you can’t wait to meet her!
