You Want a Piece of Me?


How funny is that horse? I love this horse. He lives on a neighbor’s farm. I want to steal him, but I think they do bad things to horse thieves, so I’ll settle for his picture. In the meantime, I got Australian copies of my July 2007 release, Secrets Rising. It’s in an omnibus edition together with One Stormy Night by Marilyn Pappano. It’s a twofer! Who wants it? Name this horse–you know, in case, I steal it, what should I name it? I’ll get the kids and we’ll vote on our favorite name, and the winner gets this Australian omnibus copy of Secrets Rising!
:flying:

UPDATE! Winner: No-zee from Heidi was the kids’ choice around here! Click the Contact button at the top of the sidebar to send me your address!

    I say, “Moose” (or “Bullwinkle”), because he really does look like Bullwinkle.

    What, you didn’t give him a carrot or an apple?

    I can’t think of a good name, and I have “Secrets Rising” anyway. :-)

    BTW, I really like the photo of the day; good shot, IMO. :thumbsup:

    Country Cadillac. ‘Cuz you know that every respectable horse has to have at least 2 names like “Genuine Risk” or “Lady’s Secret” (daughter of Secretariat)

    The marking on his face reminds me of a lightning bolt so I think he should be called “Stormy”. I always enjoy your posts.

    The Indefatigable Mister Snorflesons, Esquire.

    So, here I was wracking my brain for a “caption” then I realized I had to name the horse!! Should’ve read better. Well, my name for the horse is in no way gonna compare with jaq’s because that was darn good, giver her the book. But I’m going with “Boogers”. Yes, that’s it: Boogers. Unoriginal and totally childish. (My daughter helped me with this one.)

    Meanwhile, the caption is this: “Suzanne makes note to self to ALWAYS bring apples with the camera.”

    I think “Snow Patches” might be a good name. He looks like he has some patches of snow on his face. JZ

    I think Prince Charming would be a good name for this horse, it will give him dignity, therefore helping him with any self esteem problems he may have, and well, although he is funny looking, he puts a smile on my face which makes him, quite charming.

    What a great picture and great horse! I’d call him “Spiro” (after Agnew, of course, just look at that nose!) but your kids will just say, “Who?”.

    I am not good at naming animals. Apparently my kids were not either. :lol: We have had Fluffity, Snowflake, Snowball, Bebo,Duffy, Ruffy, and the pony was Buttermilk. None of those fit that noble horse so my suggestion for a name is NOBLE. Have a great day and :hug: to all.
    P.S. there are a lot of good names listed by everyone. Anyone of them would be a winner. :shimmy:

    I was going to say Rufus, but that appears to have been taken, so I’ll say “Rusty”. Isn’t he a mule. His legs look too short to be a horse. Can’t really tell from the picture. :) That’s just a thought.

    Snoot. The horse’s name is definitely Snoot.

    I say why not “Stormy” in honor of the book. Don’t you just love horses. They bring a big smile to my face. :mrgreen:

    Oh darn. The first thing I thought of was Moose. He looked like one as his picture came up on my screen. But someone already picked that name. Hmm, now I have to think…

    How about Durante? As in Jimmy Durante.

    Before reading what others wrote I thought the white on his head looks like lightning(someone else mentioned that) and so I say:

    Lightning
    Brown Velvet
    Sugar ‘n Spice
    Mr. Blue Eyes
    Snuggles

    How about “My New Car” :)

    At least he could get you out of the water. LOL! And, if they die on you…You just bury them in the back forty and the best part…No insurance. LOL! j/k

    I love horse’s.

    I’d call him “Bert”

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
