A Horse Named Buddy


Micah:  It's too hot and humid to move so it's just us tonight - you and me. I think it would be fun to start your weekend off with a smile, so I'll tell you a story.

It was a desolate area where the out of town motorist drove his car into a ditch.  A local farmer came to rescue him with a big strong horse named Buddy.

What are you doing here, Buddy?  I'm telling a story.

Buddy:  I heard my name.  Is it possible I'm related to this horse named Buddy?

Micah:  Somehow I doubt it! 

To continue, he hitched Buddy to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!:  Buddy didn't move.

Buddy:  Who's Nellie?

Micah:  You'll find out.

He then hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!"  and Buddy still didn't move.

Buddy:  I don't know who Buster is, but do you think Buddy could have been old and arthritic?

Micah:  Why don't you wait until I'm finished to ask questions?

And Buddy didn't move when the farmer yelled, "Pull, Coco, pull!" 

Buddy:  I'm starting to think this farmer has a touch of dementia.  He can't even remember his horse is named Buddy.

Micah:  No, he doesn't have dementia.

Finally, the farmer said, "Pull, Buddy, pull,"  and Buddy dragged the car from the ditch.

Buddy:  See, we guys named Buddy are very sensitive to being called by the wrong name.  We're very strong and hard-working too.

Micah:  And modest, don't forget modest.

Buddy:  So why did the farmer call Buddy by the wrong name three times?

Micah:  As the farmer explained to the grateful motorist, "Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try."

Buddy:  I don't get it.  I thought Buddy was the only one pulling.

Micah:  Wake me when you figure it out.

    HAH! The farmer may have been kidding himself, never mind Buddy. The motorist was the winner! Have a nice kip Micah. Hugs wags whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

  17. Thank you for your kind words about G.T.'s crossing over. You are correct, there are less and less of the Forty Paws here. And G.T. was so special. Always met me at the door when I came home. I miss him so much!
