Plagued with injuries, I finally procure a ride to the barn by super-hubby, who gets Vashti out of the pasture and puts her in the cross-ties. As I get the grooming box, Vashti is busy nuzzling Bill.
Vashti: Hey Dad, got any treats?
As Bill walks off to explore, Vashti leans forward into the cross-ties - "Bring Back Peppermints!"
Me: Hi
Vashti: mmmm, he better not forget the peppermints...
Me: Hi Honey
Vashti: (throwing a glance my way) Um, hi there.
Me: Boy, I missed you! Lets get a good grooming session in, you must need a good scruffing
Vashti: (disinterested and straining to see Bill) Whatever you say random lady
Me: What? I'm not some random lady!
Vashti: Ok, random lady
Me: I have NOT been gone that long
Vashti: Where's Dad?
Me: (sighing) He'll be back
Vashti: I want Dad NOW!
Me: What? Why?
Vashti: I'm not comfortable with you. You're, well, you're making me nervous being new and all....... (muttering) random lady
Me: I AM NOT A RANDOM LADY
Bill appears from around a corner..
Vashti: DAD! DAD! Take away this person and give me treats!
Me: You are never this excited to see Dad...
Vashti: How would you know random lady??
And so my return to the barn was met with much interest.
