Another Augie & Spuds Adventure

"Do you need some help with the lead ropes?" "The saddle mules are headed for turnout. Where do you think we are going, Spuds?" "Looks like we’re headed for the hayfield, Augie!" "Looks like you were right, Spuds!"   "Isn’t it beautiful, Augie?!" "What is that big yellow thing, Augie?!" "That’s Chad, Spuds...oh, you mean the swather?!" "How do you do, Augie? Now smile for the picture!" "How do you do, Spuds? Not so sure?" "WOW! That big thing sure makes a lot of noise!" "Now where are we going, ...

“This vacuum sure feel good, Spuds!”   “Yeah, Augie, but why is Roll here with us?” “Not sure, Spuds, but she’s putting on our driving gear. We haven’t done that in a very long time! Can you tell where we are going?” “Not really! I can see underneath, but Roll still makes a better door than a window! Is he going with us?!” “It looks more like we are going with HIM, Spuds!” “Oh look, Spuds! It’s the hourglass pattern! It must be ground driving today!” "She just got done leading ...

“Hey Spuds, where are we going today? What’s that over there?” “Oh, it’s just the barrels. I remember ground driving through these!” “This is my favorite part of the lessons, Augie!” “What the heck does she want now, Augie?” “Okay, I get it now Augie! That was easy!” “Now what is she up to? I have to work by myself?!” “Spuds, I just can’t back between the barrels. I can’t see where I’m going!” “I’ll show you how, Augie! Forward around the ...

“Hey Augie, what’s she want us to do today?!” “I think she wants me to JUMP!” “It’s a good thing the surface is rough enough to stop, Spuds!” “I was afraid it wasn’t, so I got out of your way, Augie!” “It IS a mounting block, but…  …I’m not sure you can hold me!” “I think not, so I’ll just jump down… …and be careful not to clip your head!” “I’m not sure I can do this as well as you did, Augie!!!” ...

“Roll’s hogging the wash rack, Augie! How are we supposed to fit?” “Is this better, Spuds?”   “I suppose so, Augie…as long as he keeps his distance!” “Hey, Spuds, how’s it feel?” “It’s so hot, this feels GREAT, Augie!!!” “Oh yeah, Spuds, this is great…nice cool water!” “Uh, excuse me, is anyone listening? BIG FOOT here is getting a little too close again!” “Oh good! Thanks, Mom!” “Just you wait, Spuds!”   “Hey, Augie! Did he just threaten me?” “Naw, he’s just kidding, ...

“Hey, Augie! Where are we going today?” “Isn’t there a better way to go than up the steps?” “Really Augie, do you always have to be so cooperative?” “Okay, what’s up now?” “Oats are always good!” “Are you kidding me? You really think that book will help?” “Augie, do you always have to be such a show-off?” “If you took the time to study, Spuds, things might be a lot easier for you!” “Maybe you’re right, Augie!” “I like how ...

“Well, Augie, it finally stopped raining! I wonder what we are doing today?” “Ooh La La! Isn’t SHE lovely? Augie, check HER out! Nice socks, Honey!” “She doesn’t look all that impressed with you, Spuds!” “Maybe she’ll like ME better! She really IS kinda cute!” “Hmmm! Stealin’ my action eh, Augie?! Well, she doesn’t look all that impressed with you either!” “Let’s just play hard to get and maybe she will change her tune, Spuds!” “I guess two can play that game, Augie…now she’s pretending ...

“What’s up today, Augie?”  “Not a clue, Spuds, but it’s not the carriage.” “Whoa! What’s this, Augie?” “Spuds, quit runnin’ into me! I can’t see it!” “REALLY, Spuds?! Quit being so dramatic…it’s the tarp!” “Okay! I get it. You want me to lead this time!” “Hey, Spuds! We’re playing follow the leader and I get to be the leader!” “It’s no sweat, Spuds!” “Hmmmm…there’s grass in here!” “Uh, do we really have to stop right here?!” “We’re working on core strength, Augie!” ...

“Here we go again, Spuds, but something feels really different and strange.” “Did you say strange, Augie? Well, I’m outta here!” “I think she said 'Whoa,' Spuds!” “Whew! I’m glad she switched the lines back BEHIND the terrets instead of in front of them! It was putting a kink in my neck, Spuds!” “Me, too, Augie! Besides, I like it much better when I can really FEEL her hands.” “I’m sure glad she took the time to review ground driving before hitching us up again!” ...

“Hey, Spuds, where are we going today?!” “Well Spuds, we’re in the grass. Maybe we get to graze?!” “Not likely, Augie!” “Here comes the cart, Augie!” “I knew she had something up her sleeve, Spuds! At least we’re not going forward and back in the Tack Barn again!” “Hey Spuds, do you think she know she’s supposed to release the brake?!” “I’m glad she finally figured THAT out! We’re really goin’ now, Augie!” “Tee hee! This isn’t so hard! We just have to ...

“What do you suppose we’re doing today down here in the dressage arena…hmmmm?!” “Whatever it is, Spuds, I get to go first!!” “Hey, Spuds, this is really easy and lots of fun!” “Look Spuds, I finally learned the rein back!” “And…I did it perfectly!” “Your turn now, Spuds!” “Like you said, Augie, this is a breeze!” “Can we trot yet?” “Now we get to do the hourglass pattern together, Spuds! Whoohoo! What fun!” “Don’t forget to stay in sync, Augie! ...

“Oh, look Augie…it’s Roll!” “Hi, Spuds, Hi, Augie! Fancy meeting you here!” “Hey, Roll! Why are ya all wet?” “You’ll see soon enough!” “Uh, hey you guys, I’m over here! Oats, please?!” “Hey, Spuds, where’d she go?” “She’s giving Roll some oats. You know she never plays favorites, Augie!” “Oh, no, it’s bath time again!” “So soon? It’s only been a year, Augie!” “If I can just bury my head into the fanny pack…” “Augie, maybe if I get into the act she’ll ...

“Hey, we haven’t seen you guys in a while! How have you been?! We get to go for another adventure with Meredith today!” “What do you suppose she has in mind for us today, Spuds?” “I don’t know, Augie, but we’ll find out soon enough! Let’s just stand still while she gets the gate…just like we always do!” “Going through the gate is always easier when you do it the same way every time!” “Uh, what’s this, Spuds? I’ve seen this somewhere else before…oh, yeah, in ...

Mini donkeys Spuds and Augie are always up for a new challenge--like adding a new element to their round pen workout routine! “Hey, Spuds! What do you think she has in mind to do today with all these straps?” “Oomph! She told me to go forward just like we did before, but something is holding me back…oh, now it is coming behind me! What’s happening?!” “You’re attached to a tire! Here, follow me!” “Oh boy, now it’s my turn, Augie!” “Don’t worry, Spuds. I’m right behind ...

There's a lot of construction going on at the ranch, but Spuds and Augie sense the opportunity for adventure! “Hey, Spuds, what’s with all this junk? It looks a little iffy to me!” “Just chill, Augie! It’s just another great adventure…no sweat!” “Oh wow, Spuds! We have our own Rocky Mountains in the driveway!” “Hmmm…I don’t know about this , Augie!” “You were right, Spuds…no sweat!” “Wait a minute, Spuds, this doesn’t look so easy!” “Can’t stop now…I’ll see you at the bottom, Augie!” “I ...
