Dear long lost Diary,
                          The rest of the summer has passed quietly. It's now fall. I have been spending my time playing with Noelle, Nicholas, Little Bit, and Fancy. Things have been great. Brooke came back from Randys, and my mom is having a good time riding her. My mom says she is behaving very well. Randy did a good job. Meanwhile I keep hearing that I still have to go to see Randy this winter. I really don't want to go. I hope my mom changes her mind. Things are fine, just the way they are. More later.

ps- My mom made this picture of Noelle, Nick and I. Pretty cute huh.

Dear Diary,
               Merry Christmas!!! Here is the Christmas Card my mom made. Yes, thats me on the left.. It is a view of the barn from mom's balcony. Still no word on my leaving, but I think it will be soon. I don't want to go. I have been very worried about this. I keep hearing the term " boot camp" If you know what this means, let me know. ( I don't like the sound of it.)

Dear Diary,
                 I just had my first set of shoes put on today!! Craig came over and at first I thought I was going to have my feet trimmed as usual, but then he started  putting these metal things on and NAILING them to my feet!! It sounds worse than what it was. In fact, I did'nt mind at all. Craig told my mom to give me some cookies when he was ready to nail on the back shoes, so, she gave me a bunch of cookies. I never had so many at one time. I can't wait to get new shoes on if this is what I can expect. I think Craig is a really smart guy for telling my mom to give me cookies. Now when I run I really pick up my feet. I kinda like these shoes.
                 Your shod buddy,

Dear Diary,
               Oh my!, Today my little world came crashing down. :(  It started out normal, but then my mom put me in the horse trailer, (I went in very quietly!) and we went for a long ride. This was my first time in the trailer alone. I was ok with that, but then we got to another ranch that has horses, dogs, and cows. My mom took me out of the trailer and walked me around (I was behaving) and then she put me in a stall and she got in the truck and LEFT!!!!! I was soooooo scared. I kept yelling at her to come back. She DID NOT!!! Then a guy named Randy came and said hi to me and gave me some hay but I did not want to eat. I just want to go back home. I want my friends. I don't know any of the horses here. In fact, I don't know anyone here. I feel so alone. I don't know what I did to deserve this. Maybe my mom will come back tomorrow so I can go home. I will keep you posted.
                 Your SAD friend,
                        Cowboy :(
