Tip of the day....

It's Fabulous Elle here. I just wanted to share a tip to all of my fans , errr, friends, out in the cyber-pasture!

When your human comes in to the barn in the morning to provide room service and maid service and open the doors to the lovely pasture, they LOVE it when you refuse to go out into the pasture and instead hang out with them while they're doing their cleaning duty.

First, it is really helpful to walk through the stall floors several times while they're trying to clean, this helps them see all the muck they've not yet cleaned up! Then, once they have the stall muck cleaned up and move on to paddock cleaning, they really appreciate your help in dumping the wheelbarrow over!

They will throw their hands in the air and yell and holler all excited like, it's a LOT of fun to watch them get so happy and animated and it makes their morning so much more entertaining, well at least for ME *snicker*.

SO Tip of the day to all you Silly Cyber Ponies? HELP your humans with their maid service duties! They really appreciate it although they do show it in an odd way by then locking you out completely, I guess they don't want to feel like we did all the work!

Oh Ms Fabulous Elle,

What a lovely thing to do for your human!

Something I have found to be equally helpful and fun for the human is to bolt through the open stall doorway and run up and down the aiselway, knocking things over as you go.

This helps them realize just how dusty things have gotten and they can remember to dust too!

Helpful in Huston!

Thank you, Elle, for the advice. I've been wondering what the appropriate tip is for such maid service. Is an extra "road apple" in the barn's walkway enough? Or should I leave a generous offering of slobber on the maid's shirt, too?
