H1 introduces me to Black Beauty and tells me that he is 30 years old. That is old for a horse as they usually only live 20-30 years. H1 tells me that Black Beauty has had an easy life over the last several years because since he has grown older he has slowed down. Though I am told that Black Beauty was a Grand Champion at horse shows back in the day. That's a lot to be proud of if you ask me! No wonder he is taking it easy.
H1 then introduces me to Buddy. Buddy is the oldest of the dogs that reside here on the farm. He is also the mellowest and wisest. Apparently, Buddy has not gotten in trouble since he was about a year old and that was only because H1 left the laundry out to dry too long and well you know Buddy got all excited when he saw the sheets blowing in the wind and thought they wanted to play with him. That was 12 years ago and Buddy is now 13; he moves a little slower, but he is still loved greatly. Buddy and Black Beauty are the best of friends. He and Black Beauty used to ride together and often when Black Beauty is being exercised on the farm Buddy happily walks along side of him. I can tell from looking at Buddy he has a lot of stories to share, but he also has a lot of love to give. So for now, I'm going to sit down and enjoy Buddy's company.

Stay tuned on Wednesday for another day 2 update....
