I took a video to show you guys just how much my pony sheds. I'm not exaggerating when I talk about him.
I apologize that my breathing was apparently loud. It's crazy how much hair he sheds!
Who else shares the shed-dread of spring??

Shedding Season
I spent part of my gorgeous Saturday grooming my pony. He grazed in the yard while I scraped immense piles of hair off. Since he walks while he grazes, there was a trail of white, snowy fur through the yard. It looked like somebody had a pillow fight.
I apologize that my breathing was apparently loud. It's crazy how much hair he sheds!

Happy Easter!
I hope you all had a good holiday!
This is my friend's little chick and she is just adorable! Happy Easter!

Facebook Page
Since my Twitter hasn't been updated, and the gadget isn't working on blogger (I'm so sorry if you didn't understand any of that), I decided to make a Facebook page for the blog. I'll post the link for each new blog post, as well as little things that aren't enough to justify a whole blog post. I hope this will make finding each new post easier for you!
So go "like" Suburban Hoofbeats's Facebook page, and share it with all of your Facebook friends. Thanks!

Why Robin was the Sidekick
I came home today and noticed a bird flying straight at our living room window. At first I thought it was a typical idiot bird that crash landed, but when I pointed it out, Jeff said the robin had been attacking his reflection for the past hour.
Robin's face is hilarious.

Tranquility
Our typical Pennsylvania weather dumped a handful of inches of snow on us last night, transforming our nice, breezy, 45 degree Sunday into a cold, wet, 34 degree Monday.

Happy Spring!
Even though it may not feel like spring right now, today marks the first day of the season. It's the Spring Equinox! Soon enough, the tulips will start budding, you can start wearing t-shirts outdoors, and the ponies will catch spring fever.
I even heard one lonely Spring Peeper frog the other night, which we all know means spring is practically here. (The poor guy didn't have any friends to return the call, so he valiantly peeped every few minutes alone.)
I can't wait for warm nights to have bonfires and sunny days to ride the ponies. What are you most excited for this spring?

Happy Spring! Watch out for Spring Showers!
Finally, A New Pen!
The piglets officially have gotten too big for ten of them to share one horse stall, so Jeff cleared out half of the back shed and rigged up a nice pen for all eleven pigs.
They're getting so big now that they need the extra room. It's also much more convenient for feeding. Wilma has also seen her babies for the first time in months now that they're right next to each other. She doesn't seem to have missed them, though. And I don't blame her.
I couldn't be happier with our new pig pen!

On the Loose
Picture this: my little 20-pound wiener dog chasing a half-terrified calf around the yard as my mother shouts for my assistance. Yeah, that's what my neighbor had the pleasure of seeing yesterday morning.
My mom has taken to letting Nina out of her pen while she bottle feeds her. The baby sticks to her side as if she was her mother cow. Well, that morning Mom walked with Nina to the back door to hand the bottle inside, and just as she did, my little dachshund shot through the doorway like a furry torpedo.
Pudgy has been fascinated with the baby cow living in the back yard and every chance he gets, he tries to get up close and personal.
However, Nina didn't appreciate the short creature charging at her, and promptly took off with a panicked "mooooo!" and thus the chase ensued.
I came out of the basement door after Jeff informed me that Mom was shouting for help. At first I thought she was freaking out because Pudge was running around without a leash, but then I realized the cow was running also. So, barefooted, I sprinted through the cold, mushy yard to head off the baby from running to the road.
Eventually, both Pudge and Nina were contained and everyone ended up okay. My mom and my neighbor had a good laugh about the whole scene later in the day.
