Y'all see this dood? He's the best.

He stands so peacefully and lets me braid his tail and put sleighbells in his mane.

I had to step out of his stall for half a second to grab another barrette and he shook like mad and lost all but one of the sleighbells.

I looked at him, and he gave me the face of a perfect gentleman. Surely, he did not do that on purpose. Must have been an itch.

Bonus, from Karen:

The same day I saw D. G.'s story--that she graciously allowed me to post--one of my voice students sang,

"O'er the fields we go 

Laughing all the way 

Bells on bottoms ring..."

I mean, she's not wrong. 😂 

No matter what I do, that makes far more sense to her than "bells on bobtails ring".
