Clyde The Peppermint Snatcher (Part 2)

Missing my mom, I caught a glimpse of her today.
With new daily routines and schooling, I was too tired to complain.

Helen was gentle as she put my halter on.
Hesitant, I learned to lead, stand, and the word "treat"!

Treat means Peppermints! Standing fully saddled, I heard a candy wrapper crinkling.

What a test, a tease for me. Can I have that peppermint, please?

Little visitors giggling and wiggling on my fence.

Bravely I smelled one, tasted the other.

Zane tasted like dirt and Zoe was like a flower. Nuzzling my nose up one leg and smelling down the other. I tossed my head, kicked, bucked, snorted, and sniffed the air. My company yelled a big “Yee Haw” as they trotted away.
