Driving home from the barn when suddenly I spot some logs cut perfectly to stand up tall and jump left out by the curb 5 mins from your house. Made my dad help because they are bigger than my last find. and my some strange twist of fate, just as I was about to leave I saw a little boy’s pug run out of his house and across a street and nearly get hit by a car who screeched to a halt and crossed the street (headed by way). I got out of my car immediately and called him to me super excited which worked at first until he started getting in that oh we’re playing let me run mode and he started to run towards the apartment complex with an even busier rode on the other side. I told my dad I had a dog toy in my car for bribery, my dad grabbed my fuzzy cd case and tossed it to the dog who was interested so I picked it up and used it as a lure to grab him. I think it was just meant to be. #horse #eventer #eventerproblems #broke #horse #horsre #horsejump #winner #equestrian #equine #ihaveaproblem #eventfulday #story #pug #pugrescue #subaru #lovethisoutback #outback #subaruoutback
