Valley the actress

Hey!
Just a quick post.

You've probably already read on my other blog that Valley was in Luke and Zack's movie! She is such a good actress!! Yesterday, Luke sat on her, and I was holding the lead rope. She had her ears pointing towards Luke (unsure way, not mad), and she moved around a bit.

Today, Zack got on and off her (roughly!!) a lot, and she did great! She was tied to a tree, and I was behind the tree (unseen by the camera) holding Valley's lead rope. She didn't move really, and she didn't seem to care a whole lot. Zack didn't stay on long, he just jumped up (real rough like), and sat there for a few seconds, then jump off.

It was funny (and coolio!) because, like, Zack would get on her, and she'd be unsure about it, and ready to jump if she needed to, but as soon as Zack got on, I got on, and she didn't care at ALL. She completely relaxed. It was funny!

P.S. I got to post about another thing that happened today, but I got to go to bed, so I'll post about that later.
