HELLO ALL. Here I am sitting in the doorway of our little camper wondering at the sight that is before me. IT IS A PONY! WHOO HOO! We are camping at Assateague National Seashore which is in Maryland. Mama and Papa and I and Merlie Boy went to the seashore and HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. IT WAS 50 degrees out. WE HAD BLUE SKIES THE COLOR OF ROBIN'S EGGS. WE SAW SEALS IN THE SURF AND SPENT HOURS AT THE CAMPSITE WATCHING THE FIRE AT NIGHT. I MEAN HOURS. THE SKY WAS SO FULL OF STARS with EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM TWINKLING JUST LIKE LITTLE STARS. We WALKED THE BEACH, COLLECTED SEA SHELLS, HORSE SHOE CRAB SHELLS TALKED TO FOLKS AND JUST ENJOYED BEING TOGETHER. HERE IS PAPA CALLING TO US. COME ON UP AND SEE THE VIEW! YOU COULD SEE THE SEALS PLAYING IN THE SURF. ![]() My favorite story from camping at Assateague? On our second morning there Mama is FEEDING US HOUNDS. THIS PONY, THE SIZE OF SOCKS OUR OLD COB PONY came to visit while Mama was getting her and Papa's breakfast. I was in my little pen, Merlin was out by the fire pit, and Mama was in the camper, for only a brief second. When she looked up she saw this pony in the window and this pony, NOT A LITTLE GUY YOU CAN BE SURE, had found our dog food bucket. You know the kind? Plastic with a screw top. THIS BIG BOY had the bucket on the ground AND HE WAS POUNDING IT. I MEAN SLAMMING IT WITH HIS RIGHT HOOF. KABANG, KABANG, KABANG. I guess he thought that there was some food in it that HE MIGHT LIKE TO WOOF UP, GOBBLE, SLOBBER OVER. WELL YOU GET THE DRIFT. So Mama comes out and waves him away and out he heads, to join the herd of ponies at the next camp site. So she then goes back into the camper. I AM LIKE, NO MAMA, NO, DON'T LEAVE ME! BARK BARK BARK BARK. She comes running right out. OUR GUY IS BACK! This time, HE IS EATING THE REMAINS OF Merlin's food. A couple of tablespoons was left on the picnic table in his dog food dish. THAT PONY ? HE WOOFED IT UP and knocked Merlin's dish under the picnic table. I guess he thought, Hmmmmmmmm, food, a dinner dish, my height WHY NOT! So Mama waved him away and removed all of the POSSIBLE PONY FOOD at this time because as she knew PONIES CANNOT DIGEST DOGGIE FOOD. I am sure the pony DID NOT AGREE! BUT MAMA KNEW BEST. Dharma's Do's? Do go traveling with your dogs. THEY WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. Do check out the Ponies at the ASSATEAGUE NATIONAL SEASHORE but REMEMBER Keep your doggie food put away. Dharma Hugs! Dharma Dharma!
