Would you like a glass of wine with that fly mask?

My daily chore list in the summer looks something like this:

1. Breakfast time: Put on fly masks 

2. Lunch time: Look for fly masks that burros have removed

3. Dinner time: Shop online for good deals on fly masks

Alan is the master of fly mask removal, though in this instance his attempt was half-assed.

He tells me the off-the-ear look is very fashion forward.

The pasture is positively parched these days, so theoretically 

they don't need to wear their grazing muzzles. However,

if Alan wears his muzzle, George's fly mask stays on, and vice versa.
Most of the time, anyway.

Hmm...I wonder who's responsible for this? 

Houdini. Alan.

Alan: They just fell off. You must have put them on wrong.

George: I can't believe she bought that.

Actually, I didn't buy Alan's excuse but I did buy a half dozen new fly masks. 

And I could only laugh when they arrived. Tucked inside the packing slip 

was one of those special offers...

Horse.com must figure anybody who buys this many fly masks at a time

deserves a good deal on wine.
