I have been updating my blog and I have added a new page called PONY POETRY
Please go take a look, Here is one of my most recent poems I have written.
Through the eyes of our GeeGee's as we bake ourselves in the sun :) ENJOY !!
I have created a couple of other GeeGee's lately too !! And this one has to be one of my favourite commissions.
The owners character brief included
" Higs is a typical TB Scared of everything !"
So here we have Higs staring in " The fetlock eating monster" HeHe
SO THEN . . . . What have the GeeGee's been upto in this HEATWAVE we have been blessed with lately ??
Well Some of them where quite happy just munching on their grass and snoozing in the shade, But for some of the GeeGee's it was just all too much, the heat was finally starting to get to them, and they had to take drastic action !!
There was hosepipes turning themselves on hmmmmm 'I WONDER HOW ?' There was buckets and wet ponies left right and centre . . . .And the wait for the water trough, well that was a story of its own.
However some of these geegee's as you know, Reeeeeally know how to get what they want, cunningly, quickly and precisely !!
WELL THIS GEEGEE DID . . . .She knew exactly how to cool down, to the outrage of the neighbourhoods children that is !!
I did help her back out, in fear of complete loss of control, fetlocks flying, a well watered lawn and 2 very disappointed children. She loved it though, and was much cooler afterwards.
SOME of the GeeGee's . . . .WELL They took it to a completely different level, and they headed off during the night on a journey to the seaside.
"I Really do wish they would tell me before they trot of unknown !" ANYWAYS,
I may never of known, if it hadn't been for a passer by on his holidays just dipping his toes in the waves, who THANKFULLY happened to have his camera with him at the time !!
You simply wouldn't believe Me if I told you, I mean these GeeGee's, they continue to completely AMAZE me with their UTTER randomness.
You just cannot take your eyes of them for 5 Minutes without them been upto no good, OR Doing disappearing acts before your very eyes !!
Just WHAT Were they thinking ? ? Can you imagine the vet bill if one of them was to be injured ? And how would I explain that to the veterinarian
" Oh by the way, my horse seems to have sprained a tendon whilst
riding a banana boat in a bikini ? "
COME ON, SERIOUSLY These lot will have me taken away one day !!
LUCKILY There was no injuries, And fun was had by all even if they were swiftly frog marched back to the horsebox when I heard the news. There will be no carrots on the menu for a while for these 4, that's for sure !
BUT It was an experience, and one I definatly wont forget.
So what have I been upto lately then ?
Well apart from retrieving 4 completely nutty GeeGee's from a banana boat at the seaside, Not a lot really ! Well other than trying to cool down as the weather here has been so darn hot and air almost non existant. I have however now got quite a striking tan, and a lot of diferent shaped lines across my shoulders from each day a different style of vest top. Hmmm, like a zebra hahaha.
My Dog however, has really struggled with the heat, I am absolutely appauled at the amount of dogs I have seen left in cars with the window slightly down, it really angers me. We need a HOT DOG PATROL, Reported and issued a fine for dogs found in cars,It's torture for the poor little things.
Taz (Resident mutt) Has been getting spoiled in the heat, he has been playing in his paddling pool and having so much fun, he would splash around and then go sleep in the shade. Then come back later before snoozing again. HA The life of a dog eh !!
Here is some photos of him having a splashingly good time in the sunshine and water.
So a fun time was had by all, and we have all had a fantastic time in this summer glory.
Well, Must get back to some cartooning. I have a couple of commissions to do and a fantasticly Funky Doorsign to create too. So until next time,
Happy Horsey time in this glorious weather, hope you are all having fun and managing
to stay cool and hydrated :)
And keep an eye on them GeeGee's of yours if you find them struggling in the heat,
take steps to cool them down.
AND If they don't seem to be where they should be . . . . Well ring the lifeguards,
BECAUSE You never know !!
