A friend of mine just passed this on to me and I am sharing it with all of you:

RORY AND MILLIE"
( You Don't Fool Anyone Pretending To Be A Dog )

Just like his Labrador friends, he wags his tail, Fetches sticks, and rolls

on his back to have his tummy tickled.   But the hooves and mane give

way his real identity - he's a SHETLAND PONY!

Eight-week old RORY picked up his canine traits after

he was befriended by dogs at the Essex Horse and Pony

Sanctuary.

Rory was rejected by his mother after he was born.

After arriving at the sanctuary he became ill and spent

all his time being nursed in the office - attracting the

interest of Labradors Alfie and Millie - owned by stable

manager Sam Edwards.   Rory lay in Sue's lap with his little

hooves sticking out and Alfie would come up and wash them.

When Rory was left with a white moustache after

drinking milk, Alfie would clean that too.

Rory fetching a stick.

Rory at play.

Despite all, Rory ended up being closer to Millie because

she was nearer his size.  Shetland ponies are herd animals

by nature, learning by copying other ponies.  If they are

placed with another animal, they will copy them.

What a great story BLR Guy. 

This kind of reminds me of humans too.

When you hang out with positive successful Real Estate Professionals, then eventually you will pick up their can do attitude and become successful too.  So seek them out, it will do you good.

Wayne,

I agree.  Not just in the animal world, but humans as well.  Positive attitutude (as well as negative attitude) can be contagious.  You can get traits from those that you spend alot of time with, including a positive attitude. 

I showed you post to my kids.  They loved it!

That is such a neat story and great photos, too!  Horses naturally learn by copying members of the herd.  Rory at least found a good "herd" to hang around with and learn from.

That was great. He may not look like a dog, but certainly appears to act like one. It is nice to see he has found a wonderful friend in Millie, The Lab.

Great story and great pictures.  These two look like they are going to be life long pals.  I guess it is not so bad being a dog afterall!  A dog is a horses best friend!
