American Eskimo day

I'm a member of an American Eskimo group on Facebook, and one of the first posts I saw this morning proclaimed, "Happy American Eskimo Day!"

That sounded like a made up thing, so I did a little Google research, and sure enough, it's real.

Well, more or less.

To celebrate, I decided to take Piper to the barn with me.

She helped me clean Sage's stall...

and take her to turnout.

"It's behind me, isn't it?"

Then I decided I wanted to take a picture of them together.

This was harder than expected.

Piper has a really good stay, but not when a horse is looking at her.

"Sorry, Mom. I'm outta here!"

Best we could do.

As a reward for her mostly good behavior, Piper got some of Sage's carrot slices.

Chomp!

I'm still not convinced this is a real holiday, but today was fun.

We'll probably celebrate it again next year.
