ARNOLD PILLAR!
If you read my last post, than you must be curious to hear more about my new friend Arnold Pillar.
Arnold is a fuzzy little caterpillar that I met yesterday morning.
I was just smelling dirt and licking pebbles, you know, minding my own business.
And all of a sudden I got a itch on the tip of my muzzle, and it didn't go away.
So I snorted and picked my head up, trying to cross my eyes and see what it was that was tickling my nose.
But I couldn't see anything, so I bumped Mommy in the arm and she looked over,
"What is it Tiger Baby?" She asked.
"Uh what do you mean "what is it" obviously my muzzle itches and I lack those magic scratching tools that you call thumbs!"
"Oh, do you have an itch?"
"WELL DDDUUUHHHH!"
"(chuckles) Well no wonder there's a little caterpillar on your halter."
"A cater-what?"
"Aww he's a cute little guy, here let me pick him up so he doesn't bother you anymore."
Mommy reaches for my caterpillar.
I turn my face away, flick my ears back, and stomp my hoof.
"Yeah no thank you, finders keepers, he is my pillar friend now, you cant have him."
"Ok, you want to keep the caterpillar, it's your choice but we have to walk up to the arena now, just don't drop him."
"I am super Tiger Ninja the pillar is perfectly safe, he wont fall I will use my ninja moves to save him!"
Mommy shrugged and we walked up to the roping arena for a turn out, while my new friend came with us, riding on my halter.
When we got to the arena Mommy took off my halter and tried to take my pillar with it. But he climbed off the halter, on to my mane, and down onto my back where he stopped to rest.
"Well, it looks like you two are getting along pretty well, what do you think Tiger, what should we call this little guy?"
"His name is Arnold....OBVIOUSLY!"
"Hey, Arnold would be kind of cute don't you think?"
"Uh...yeah! It was my idea!"
"Ok Arnold it is." Mommy said smiling, "But you have to let me hold him now so he doesn't get hurt while you run around."
"Fine you may have the pillar..."
Mommy picked up Arnold and held him in her lap while I ran around and got out all my "goosies".
When I was done, I walked back over to where Mommy and Arnold were sitting.
"We should let Arnold go now Tiger, he's probably hungry!"
"(SIGH) Fine Mommy, if you think it's best for the pillar."
We walked around the planters on the hill, trying to find a nice spot to leave Arnold, we finally found one, I gave him Goodbye kissies, and we headed home.
When we reached our tack room we stopped to talk to Auntie Oni, Mommy told her about Arnold and showed her pictures.
"We called him Arnold" Mommy said
"Like Arnold Palmer..but he's Arnold Pillar! I love it!" Auntie Oni laughed.
Mommy smiled, and gave me pets,
"You do make the strangest friends Little Girl, one day we will see Arnold Pillar as a beautiful butterfly and you will get to say you knew him as a baby."
And so that is the story of how I met my new friend Mr. Arnold Pillar. And how Mommy got to hang out with a caterpillar.
I hope you liked this post! I hope you guys go out and make a whole bunch of unlikely friends!
