No joke, here's the list of things we've tried:

- Masking tape
- Scotch tape
- Electrical tape
- Duct tape
- Double sided tape
- Gel mounting dots

Anyone have any other ideas?! 🐴
Teddy needs to blend in, the other horses won't know 🤫😆

Our Halloween plans took a stitchy turn..
When life gives you vet bills… make it fashion. 🪡💅🎃😂🖤

Don’t worry — he’s healing perfectly fine and clearly thriving in his new spooky aesthetic 👻

He got his eye out to due glaucoma, and we were supposed to dress up as Pooh and Eyore.. but creepy, stitched up Victorian dolls, it is 🤣

Trying this Whimsy Maxxing to get into the Halloween spirit. ✨️ He's definitely *bonita* but I think we can do better for Halloween 👀

What would you have done in this situation? 🙈
Even though I've had tons of different types of pets and been around many different types of animals, I really don't mess around with primates. 😬 While visiting Hong Kong, we came across these monkeys at a temple (they love the fruit and flower spiritual offerings). This male was seemingly patrolling the bridge we had to cross to get back to our hotel. It was pretty daunting watching him cross the long bridge while approaching us head on. He didn't move from the middle of the path and we debated backtracking. But within ~25ft of us, he veered off to the side. 🐒 With my limited knowledge of monkeys and their body language, I decided to stay there. And this is the result, a peaceful crossing of paths (although ~3ft away is a little too close for comfort). Though you can see him eyeing my brother a few times 😅 He followed after his troupe that were already up in the trees. And that was that.

Even though this is an older video (Teddy has two eyes here), it still stands that this is what happens when my boyfriend watches my pets 😆 He's tries his best to take care of all my animals when I'm away (which is not often), and they seem to riot against him. I think Teddy heard him from across the arena 🙈 How do your pets respond to the spare human?

How spoiled is your pet? 🐴🐶🐱
Teddy here is enjoying a nice, individualized message and personal grooming session under his industrial fan set on high with his very expensive eye gear on. All paid for by his benefactor... me. 🫠

To be honest and ironic, Teddy's actually not completely bombproof. He's great with noises and a bunch of weird, urban stuff on trail. However, arena obstacle stuff and most conscious/intentional desensitization, he's reactive about. For example, he'll walk over a manhole or metal floor grate no problem on trail (even with his metal shoes clacking and semi slipping on it), but a thin circular wood board in the arena sand... absolutely no way. Funny ain't it? 🫠
We were at @hoofprintsequestrian Desensitization Clinic last month to see where Teddy is now at with only 1 eye. He didn't do too bad but there's definitely work to do. We still have some ways to go before he can be certified bombproof 😆 At least he probably won't care if a bomb went off near him.

Keeping all my pets 🐶🐴🦎 busy with enrichment can be time consuming! @mywoof makes it easy with my dog with their Pupsicles! Obviously I had to get the purple one. 🙊💜 Lola is a size large and she loves it! She's allergic to poultry, so the PB & Beef Flavor is perfect. We can't wait to get our hands on the mold tray so we can come up with our own combinations!
What do you use to help enrich your pets' lives?

Truth be told I never saw one either until I had one on my horse! 🐴 Horseshoes are suppose to face the other way, but Teddy got his put on upside-down on purpose by his farrier. On one of his 6 week shoeing cycles/periods, Teddy needed more heel support as he was sensitive, most likely due to on/off thrush we were battling. It helped, along with aggressive thrush treatment, and now he's back to his usual forward facing shoes, but I just had to show you all!
