City Dog goes to the Country

Sometimes you strike up a friendship with the most unlikely of people. Nancy is my friend that I met when I moved into the condo with Neal. She has a bassett hound named Henry and we met while out walking our dogs. Henry is like Mack's big brother. She says he still whines when he passes our old door at the condo. Nancy is a horse person and she invited Mack and I out to check on one of her horses. This particular horse happens to be named Fergi. She even calls her Fergalicious sometimes which I think is cute.
At first Mack was thrilled to be able to run around with Henry and explore the ranch. That is until he heard one of the horses snort. He darted back to where the car was and wouldn't move. Nancy opened the door to get something and he jumped in the car. She had to pick him up and carry him out of the car.
He started to come around a little and pretty much hung by Henry's side. Fergi really is a beautiful animal. My slight fear of horses is still there though. I was kind of glad Mack didn't like them so I didn't have to worry about him getting stepped on or kicked.

Until another horse snorted. Mack took off and found retreat under this trailer. Lovingly, Nancy said she was going to start calling him Paris Hilton because he was being such a sissy in the country.
I mean, I can't imagine why anyone would ever think that our fur baby is spoiled.
