I am trying to keep a good attitude, Hoover.  Really I am.

The truth is things are different for me lately.  I am limping and don’t know why.  I didn’t use to notice it as much.  The humans have put me in a different pasture where there is no green grass, with Magic, whose feet hurt, and Preston who also can’t have green grass.  I like these guys a lot (although Preston is very pushy about who is in charge), but I want to graze and feel free.  I have to be led to and from this field – it doesn’t open to my run.  I have been very good about letting the boss lead me – I am trying.

I just don’t like this new field.  There is no real grazing, and even when I trot up to the higher pasture that connects with this field, there is nothing to eat there and I don’t feel free.  Is this what Hoover led me to?  Sharing a bare field which is smaller than the huge field I am used to and which I once shared with Hoover and Finn and all the others?  I feel trapped, I am worried and my front feet hurt.

My little person also seems more distant.  Not that I really care.  But ever since I showed teeth to the boss, my person has spent less time with me.  Less ear scratching, less brushing my neck, less quiet talk.  I didn’t mean any harm, really.  I am just confused.  At least Magic is with me…

I am Thor and I am an Equamore Horse.
