Pony And Tinker go on a beer run

LOL! So The dogs and I get in the truck to go on a beer run (about 2-3 miles) Pony and Tinker jump right in along with the dogs. Ok..fine. You can come but don't carp or pee in the truck. We filled up with gas and got an 18 pack. They were so good! They thought it was FUN. A guy was filling his car up at the same time and I saw him do a double take at all the critters inside my truck. I think he was trying to figure out what they were...he didn't ask. The cashier was looking out the window too...she didn't ask either. I think they thought they were puppies.
So. Much. FUN!

Oh man you so needed to post a pic of that!!!!



One time when I was a kid my mom sent me to walk down to the "corner" store (1.5 miles away) and a guy had a pet mountain lion in his truck cab. Yep and this was "normal" there. LOL

Well, I hope you shared your beer with them - since they were so well-behaved and all.

You know, you could write a series of children's books - "The Adventures of Pony & Tinker".

You've probably created a couple of monsters. You won't be able to go anywhere without them now.

The way it's going down tonight, there will probably be another beer run tomorrow and I'll be sure to get pics
(we are putting up perimeter fencing along with a HUGE gate at the end of the drive)

Pictures please!!
We were in transit taking does to their Manly buck once, and a guy at the gas station thought they were sheep!! (Citiots!)

Another time I had taken a bottle baby to visit a friend, stopped at the local grocery store on the way home and tucked her in my coat. People thought she was a puppy!!

I love the shock value when we take the goats out to socialize!!

Does anyone else hear that George Jones/ Garth Brooks song playing in the background?

I guess I am too old. I have no clue about George Jones,
Looking forward to pics of tomorrow's beer run! Pony and Tinker are as fun as Donna's Monkey and Boo Boo!

If you dont know who George Jones is then you must not be a country music fan.
He's a really old dude.

ROFLOL! My country music fan days were very short. About 1987 - 1992 or so. Little before and nothing after. I do like David Allen Coe, and Keith Whitley was gone way too soon. If you name a song, I might recognize it. I rarely know an artist.

He was also known as No Show Jones, when he would be too drunk to show up for concerts. But he has turned his life around. He was also married to Tammy Wynet. He was also called the "Possum."

Love his music.
