Ain't he sweet?

You can't help being cute when you're a miniature horse and your name is "Tater Tot."  How small is he?  Well...his back comes to about my knee.
Here he is with "Biscuit" the Dachshund.  Both of these adorable creatures belong to Jen Smith-- she's our trainer and barn manager, and she brought "Tater" to work with her yesterday.   He was happy just being underfoot and getting into various mischief.  He might look like a dog, but he acts exactly like a big horse.  Although Jen says he does occasionally jump in their car and go for a ride.  

Just twenty miles from the summit of Snoqualmie Pass, it was 60 degrees at the barn yesterday. Unfortunately a strong wind was blowing through the woods and we couldn't ride on the trails, which seemed like a waste of a rare, dry November day in the mountains.

I've got a busy morning coming up, so no dawdling on the computer.  Here's an amusing quote:

A woman needs two animals - 
the horse of her dreams and a jackass to pay for it.
