“It’s a beautiful Fall day, Augie! Where do you think we are we going this time?”

“Maybe I shouldn’t have asked!”

“It wasn’t really THAT bad, was it, Spuds?!”

“Hey, Spuds, come look in here! It’s pretty cool!”

“Has she finally lost her mind, Augie?! We can’t fit in there!”

“It’s okay Fellas! We aren’t really going to try to climb in there! I was just kidding!”

“Guess the joke was on us this time, eh Augie?…Hmmmm…what’s this?”

“THIS is a big ditch full of water with a floating culvert, Spuds!”

“Oh fun!…Another mountain! I’m get to go first this time, Augie!”

“Boy, are these guys BIG, Augie! They are all really nice though!”

“Oh good, we get to see even more of our BIG friends, Spuds!”

“Where are we headed now, Augie!”

“It looks like we have some gate-training going on here, Spuds!”

“Remember to stand quietly while she shuts the gate, Augie!”

“She’s really proud of this new bathroom they are building, Spuds, so be sure to seem interested so you don’t hurt her feelings!”

“Okay, I’m in Augie, but I am also ready to exit stage right!”

“Wait a second, You Guys, I have a rock in my shoe!”

“Wait, Spuds, Mom has a rock in her shoe!”

“Isn’t this a cool statue, Spuds?”

“Yeah, that one was cool, but this one is my favorite, Augie!”

“Hey, Spuds! This one is just our size!!!”

“More gate training and we’re home again! What a great time we had on such a gorgeous Fall day!

“Hey, Augie! The sign says, ‘Beware of the Ass,’ but I say, ‘Beware of the Ass Trainer!’ We might actually have to do some work!”

“It’s nice to have a “Header” to follow right out of the Tack barn! That way we can start out on the right “feet!”

“One, two, three, four…one, two, three, four…I wonder where we are headed today, Spuds?!”

“Oh, WOW! We get to go to the hayfield, Spuds. Wide open spaces are FUN!”

“Be sure to stay in sync, Spuds! One, two, three, four…one, two, three, four…”

“Gotcha, Augie! Boy is this grass GREEN!”

“Great halt, Spuds! Now remember we can’t move or we won’t get our oats reward!”

“Aah, what’s this, Augie!”

“It’s just a culvert so we don’t have to jump the water in the ditch anymore, Spuds!”

“This is A LOT easier, Augie!”

“I guess we’re headed for home now, Augie!”

“Another wonderful adventure, eh Spuds?! Maybe we really don’t have to ‘Beware of the Ass Trainer’ after all!”

“Hey, Augie! It sure is hot…great day for a bath don’t you think?”

“Well, Roll seems pretty pleased after his bath looking in the window at
himself like that! Who needs a mirror?!”

“Hey, Spuds! I found a gold mine of oats AND grass!!!”

“A little WET, but not too bad!”

“Oooooh! That water is kinda cold, Spuds! Shocking!!!”

“Don’t pout, Spuds! It isn’t THAT cold and she will be done with you
in a minute! Suck it up!”

“What’s up, Spuds? Eat your oats!”
“I can’t be BOUGHT, Augie!”

“No Spuds, but you could cut off your nose to spite your face!”
“Hey, Mom…come back! I want the oats now!”

“You’re lucky she came back, Spuds!”

“We are two REALLY LUCKY guys, Augie! She’s the best!”

“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!!!”

“Can you at least TRY, Spuds?!”

“Okay Augie, I’ll try!”

“WHOA! OOPS!….”

“Are you okay, Spuds?”
“That was some kinda sliding stop, Spuds!!!”

“Thanks a lot, Augie! I’m getting down now!”
“Hey Spuds, watch out!!!”

“Is it time for oats now?!!!!”

“She would NEVER forget the oats if we do what she asks, Spuds!
“Is that why you usually get more than me, Augie?!”
