It's Jake's birthd-hay.
Today is my horse's birthday! Jake doesn't have a very good sense of time, so when I told him it was his birthday, he was flabbergasted. The conversation went a little something like this.
Me: Hey Jake. Guess what? Today is your birthday!
Jake: (Chew, chew, chew) Heh?

Me: Seriously. It's your birthday!
Jake: My birthday? You're kidding! Woohhhaaahhaaaheee!

Jake: I love birthdays! Wait.....does this mean I get cake?
Me: Umm.... no. Sorry.

Jake: Pppptttthhhppphhhtttt. You stink.
Me: Yeah, sorry 'bout that. But I'll probably post some pictures of you on the blog in your honor. Ready? Look handsome....

Jake: How'd I look? Pretty good? Did I have anything in my teeth? I feel like there might have been something in my teeth.
Me: Uh....Nope. That was perfect. You look great.
Jake: HA! Birthdays are cool.

Jake: Wow. I am AWESOME! Now go get me some cake.

jake, do you have your shoes on yet? Mine are going on, in a couple of weeks...hope you can keep up with the old man...
your pal,Ukee
Uuuukkkkeeeee! My shoes will be on May 7th. You know I'll be galloping circles around you, old guy. This morning I decided to go see my neighbors across the fence and took a huge leap over the stream! Then I snorted and whinnied and stuff. I think I kind of scared myself. I forgot I could jump like that.
Happy Birthday Jake!!!
