I was fast asleep when Sadie woke me. She stood next to me, running in circles and yapping her jaw off so
fast I couldn't make out a single word the pup said. I blinked at her from under my heavy eyelids, watching
with amusement as she misinterpreted how far she was from the front steps and ran head first into them,
plopping back against the dirt with an 'Uuumph.'
"Now what is this 'ere ruckus about, pup?" I said lazily, raising my old hear with a yawn of disinterest. Sadie, moving like
a let-go balloon, bounced to her feet. Her small pink tongue lolled out of her mouth, and I could see she had been
running. She started to talk, then snorted on accident and began to choke on her own spit. If there was ever a
more.. stupid wasn't the word for Sadie, I'd lean more towards intelligent spoon, I'd never had the displeasure
of meeting the unfortunate soul. I stood up with a grunt, clonked down the stairs, and whopped the pup on the
back with my paw. She sputtered, then grinned up at me with such innocence I almost forgot a spoon was her
superior.
"Mom's ginna go git that hoss! That wild hoss that been riling up the stalle-stallions." If Sadie could talk, she'd never
taken the time to show me. I closed my eyes at her atrocious grammar, instead opting to focus on her words. There
had been a wild horse causing a stir around out little stable, and Nikkita, or Nikki to her friends, had finally set out
t catch the thing. I rolled my eyes as Sadie bounced away to where Nikkita was mounting up her first, and likely most
steady stallion, Rum. He looked about as pleased as I was at the moment, but he should have been relieved that it was a cool day out.
"Remus! C'mere boy!" Nikkita yelled across at me, and I fixed her with my best 'do you really think I'm going' look, then hit her
hard with my ' i'd rather step in cow poop' glare. If she saw either of the two, Nikki showed no signs and simply laughed,
whistling me over. With a grumble of colorful words under my breath, I slowly trotted over and pouted in the back to the group while we started off. Sadie bounded back to me, looking more like a bear than a dog.
"Ain't this exciting Uncle Re? Wonder if the hoss'll be nice. What do you think Uncle Re? huh? What do you think?"
With every question, I tried to open my mouth to respond, but she just continued to spew out her irritating garble as
though she was a garden hose gone bad.
"Let's say I'd rather be at home. Will you stop jumpin' around like that? You're given me the creeps." I muttered at the pup,
who like usual giggled at me and bounded off to find some new thing to bother. I took the moments of somewhat quiet to
look around. The sky was blue, but could only me glimpsed high above our heads in the trees. The air was cool, and it felt
like I imagined a cold bowl of water felt like after a run.
All at once, Nikkita let out a holler and kicked Rum into a gallop. I felt bad for him, and made a note to mention
it to him later. I eased into a run after then, watching tweedle-dee (sadie) reappeared from the bushes with her head poke through a large leaf, and took off wildly barking after Nikkita and I. If I tried to roll my eyes for every time I wanted Sadie to be smart, I'd
have lost both my eyes by now. Up ahead I saw the source of this whole mess; a flash of white, black, and brown whirling like
a storm through the trees. With a sigh, I decided that Sadie would need to be shown what to do, so I barked to her to follow
me. I lengthened my strides, running a even beat that soon carried me past Nikkita and through the brush. Sadie, much less gracefully and with no reverence for doing things correctly, crashed through the trees, making choking-barking noises as she
struggle to keep up. I counted down in my head, the veered back to the left with Sadie finally on my heels.
"You stand here, make the horse rear up. Bark, look like a loon for all I care but get her attention and for
goodness sake don't get stepped on!" I yelled to the pup, who immediately spun around and faced the horse running out of the
bushes. It was a fairly small mare, but her presence was incredible. She threw her head in the air and whinnied loudly.
It sounded more like an enraged scream than any sound I'd ever heard a horse make, but it wasn't my time to think of
that. I let a deep bark well up inside me, and I barked just as Sadie made one of her ear-splitting puppy howl/cries that
caused the mare to spook. She reared up onto her hind legs, kicking like the devil with her front feet. My sensitive ears heard
the hiss of rope through the air, and I saw the lasso that Nikki had thrown find its mark on the mares neck. Within seconds, Nikki
had gotten another one around her shoulders, making sure that the mare didn't choke herself.
Sadie raced over to me, and I realized too late that she had no intention of stopping.
"Saddd-" I tried, but she slammed into be in a writhing ball of sloppy kisses and a wagging body.
"Thank you Uncle Re! I did it!" She said, and licked me right across my muzzle. I gagged, pushing her off and
sitting up with a grumpy growl.
"Look what you done, you gone and mess me all up." I complained, wiping at my face with my paw to get her
slobber off me. Yes, I'd definitely had rather stepped in cow manure than this. Heck, I'd rather have drowned in
the stuff at this point.
By the time we got back to the barn, the mare had somewhat calmed. She allowed herself to be shoved into a tall round pen that had a box with a place to sleep, eat, and drink in, but was otherwise boarded in with high boards. As soon as the lasso's were off, she began to kick and buck and scream and contort her body into all kinds of horrific looking shapes.
Nikkita watched her with a smile, and I let out a groan.
She was going to make a lady of this mare if it killed her.
And As far as I was concerned, it would.

If I'd have had my way, the wild horse should have been let back as soon as we caught it.
I didn't see what the satisfaction of taming a horse was anyway, I mused to myself as I sat watching Nikki hang around the round pen. With a sigh, I could see that she was in love. Her eyes twinkled in the light, and she rested her head gently on her arms as the mare in the pen twisted and screamed in her escape. It had only been two days, but the mare seemed to have calmed down a little. I sat up, watching as Sadie snorted, once again choking on her own snot as she woke up from one of her power naps. My eyes narrowed and then rolled as she got up, then proceeded fall over herself and giggle.
I wanted to go back to sleep.
Nikki had taken some time to arrange the pen before we put the horse in it. There was a tree off to the side, a place for the mare to hide if she felt inclined. There was water, food, and many toys laying around. There was a jolly ball hanging from Nikki's hands, and I decided to go see what she had in mind.
Nikki glanced down as I walked over to her. She patted my head, then glanced back at the mare in the pen.
"Let's see if she's bored."
Nikki lobbed the toy into the pen, spooking the mare on accident. Pinning her ears back, the mare approached the ball with caution.. She looked more like a coyote checking out a rattle snake. She pawed at it a little, than took the handle in her teeth and shook the ball until it went flying. Nikki laughed softly, shaking her head. I didn't see what the big issue was, but before I could make that assumption, Sadie's hot breath ended up on my neck.
"Unc' Re!!"
Before she could go on, I stomped on her snout to shut her up. I was more interested in the mare.
The mare was happily playing around with a jolly ball, now completely at ease. For some reason, the toy has eased her anxiety.
I guess you could say she was adjusting.
