I've already figured that one out! The Fjord-fund is slowly growing
again, though the cart & harness last fall set it back again. It'll
probably be a year or two before I start looking for another fjord,
but I do eventually want at least a team! At the moment, though, it's
just as well that we just have one since it gives us more time and
attention to spend on him - and he sure does soak it all up! The time
that we've spent with Donnie definitely shows - he'll follow either my
dad or myself just about anywhere ("You want me to climb that gravel
pile and stand on top?!? Sure, if you do first! - Want me to go
through that narrow doorway and make a right-angle turn halfway
through? Sure, if you go first! - Want to pony me beside the bike
you're riding? Sure! - Want me to stick my head in the
house's door and tell Diana to come out and play? Sure!").
(And yes, my dad does actually bring Donnie right up the sidewalk,
open the door, and let Donnie stand with his head inside so he can
look up the stairs to the kitchen and nicker for me to come see him!
The only catch is that he has to keep a good grip on Donnie so that he
doesn't decide to come right on in!)
