I went in the house, leaving him in the yard, I&#8217;ve been forbidden to bring him in the house, and put a load of laundry in. As soon as I was done I went out to check on him and he wasn&#8217;t there. I looked around the house and found him waiting by the tailgate of the pickup. When he saw me he called out to say hi. &#8220;Was I ready to come work yet?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>How could I tell him no?<\/p>\n<p>I grabbed the bag of treats we had been using with Princess Onna and we played. Just a quick run through of the basics. I did pause to put boots on, with my capris first. I thought about getting on but decided that a halter and helmet, at least, would probably be necessary and resisted the urge. He happily performed next to me and protested heartily when I told him I was done and to go eat grass. He refused to eat if he didn&#8217;t get to play for the food and I had to put him back in with the others.<\/p>\n<p>It was fun even if it was brief and it lead to better things&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2058\" src=\"http:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/07\/20170723_171910-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/07\/20170723_171910-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/07\/20170723_171910-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/07\/20170723_171910.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I turn Rusty out to eat grass, or tried to.
