Thank you for our incredibly generous secret santa gift @thegypsycob! Mango is completely enamored with the fur tug, to the point that she wouldn’t pose for photos with it, and when I took it away for supervised play only she extracted it from the presumed dog-proof location and came trotting back in with it!

Thank you too for the dog collar offer, you are very kind. Is it best for me to contact you through facebook for that?

For those of you that have followed my blog from the start, you will remember that this was originally ‘thegypsycob’ and featured my lovely horse Dave.

When I lost him I decided to focus more on the other light of my life, Logan, who has been such a rock for me over the last few years. That’s when I changed the URL to wannabewerewolf.

Well now I am very excited to introduce, my little lockdown purchase.

This is Pan!

(although his name may change depending on what character he develops over the next few weeks)

I am very excited to start this new adventure with him 🥰

And I will be posting photos and trying to be more active on @pandemicpony to keep with the theme.

But for now, enjoy this sweet baby 🥰

Today I said goodbye to my best friend. It wasn't always an easy journey with him. He was the most argumentative animal i've ever met! But once I figured out how to ask him, he would do anything for me. This is the horse that would freak out over a coloured pole, But would happily jump fire for me. This is the horse that tried to jump a 5 bar gate as a yearling with my dad hanging onto the lead rope, who ended up bending the gate and landing in a heap on the ground. Yet he eventually went on to clear a 1mr 10 jump for me, no questions asked. He hated show jumping but would do it for me because I asked him too. Yet he loved cross country and if you ever saw us, you knew to stay well away from the cross country machine coming towards you! He wouldn't bat an eye at ditches or water jumps, logs or barrels, yet he would barely walk over a pole on the ground without getting upset. He allowed me to shoot arrows from his back, ride him bareback, hold flags, swords, shields and various other strange and startling items. I could jump him bareback with just a snaffle, and ride him calmly at the beach. He behaved in traffic, but would take the piss a bit when we went into the sand school! He's been my friend for almost 9 years. A genuine 1 in a million. There will never be another quite like him, And i'm never going to forget him. Dave the cob 16/09/2009-- 18/06/2018

Heya, I’m so sorry to hear about Kilo. You two have been one of the first dogblrs I followed since getting my own GSD and your posts have inspired me. I’m sorry to hear what happened but please take comfort that you where with him in his final moments. That will have meant an awful lot to him. Keep looking at the photos and videos you have of him and remember all your good times xx

Thank you. I am very grateful he was able to pass away at home surrounded by family.

I love you two. You’re such a wonderful team!

This made me happy <3

I see you have a snoot! I also have a snoot! Snoots and horses are a good blog combo 😊

Yes! the perfect combo!

I wish I could get one of my horses and one of my dogs to stand close to each other without one of them starting a fight with the other ��

It’s taken a lot of work to get them to this point haha. I still have to be careful with Kilo since he gets riled up and likes to try to get the horses going. He’s been kicked a few times.

thegypsycob replied to your video “So it turns out my 1.05 jump off did get filmed. Total rider error on...”

You're such a still rider! �� I love watching you jump. Just unlucky with the refusal, but it happens to the best of us!

Aw, thank you! I guess I’m still getting used to him, his stride isn’t nearly as adjustable as GT’s and I think that’s the most difficult thing for me to grasp!
