Tommy Time

Sounds like Tommy may leave us for the summer. When I picked up Brego from the trainer last month, we were talking about kids and ponies. My trainer mentioned that he was looking for a pony for the summer for his kids/neice&nephew. I mentioned I had a pony if they would like to borrow him.

My trainer needed to check in on a few things to make sure that where he is located would allow ponies. Sure enough, they do. So sometime soon, Tommy is going to the trainers and treat children to some delight.

I'm not sure how Skippy is going to handle it. He's so herd bound to Tommy. I'm going to have to do some serious fencing to ensure Skippy doesn't get completely upset. I may just stick Maverick in with Skippy since those to get along even though they differ greatly in size.

My neighbor also mentioned borrowing the ponies but that's not until July. So it seems I'll be farming Tommy and Skippy out this summer. Now they'll actually be used instead of act as my personal lawn mowers.

I'm a little worried in handing over my horses but I trust my trainer. He did a wonderful job with Chaos and Maverick. And he really tried his best with Brego. I know Tommy will be in good hands and I'll get him back this winter. I'm more worried about Skippy. I guess we'll see how it goes and if Skippy is too upset, the trainer will either have to take Skip for the summer also, or I'll have to get Tommy back and they'll return to being lawn mowers.

I'm not sure when all of this will unfold. Mike is taking the trailer today to get new tires on it since they are bald. I don't want to travel on bald tires when my "kids" are with. If I don't drop Tommy off this weekend or next week, I'll have to haul them to Madison so that someone can watch and care for them since I'll be occupied with my wedding.

I guess I'll just play it by ear but it does sound like I'll be sans one pony for sure during the summer and possibly sans second pony for a few weeks. Always some excitement going on at Borderlands.
