Vick and Vodka

Hi there, this is Saige,... Happy Canada everyone... I have a special story to tell you today that I think you would like to hear!

Our horse Vodka needs some company.

So our humans went to Long Island off the coast of Digby to pick up Vick. Digby is the last town in the Annapolis Valley.

Long Island and Brier Island are two small Island communities and you must to take the Car Ferry to get to them. And the Ferry leaves Long Island on the HALF hour and leaves the Mainland on the HOUR. But look! Here comes the ferry! HAHA! The man who is selling us the horse is also the Captain of the Ferry so he told his crew to watch for us and sneak an extra trip! The ferry ride is 5 minutes to the Island.

Long Island is famous for the Balancing Rock.

And here is a picture of Digby Neck and Long Island --and see Brier Island tucked right in behind it... that tiny little piece on the tip? So if you live on Brier Island you must be QUICK with your schedule to get to the mainland because you would have to catch 2 ferries! And it is tricky -- you can't make any stops, just drive right through Long Island!

We got to the farm and the nice family. The little girl could be on a postcard.

Everything is quaint and slow.

The little girl said that all the pack mules have a Cross on their back because they carried Mary to Bethlehem.

The boy was funny and when a plane flew by overhead he pointed up to the sky and said "LOOK! CIVILIZATION!" HEE HEE HEE!

And there is Vick and we are loading him up to catch the boat back!

He is a big Belgian work horse.

And here comes the Fog rolling in!

But this time there is no special treatment and we must wait for the ferry. It is like going on the Oprah show or being a trashy guest on Jerry Springer where they fly you in on first class but send you home in a taxi. HAHAHA!!!! Just kidding.

And now Vick is settled in his new home. Hope you enjoyed that adventure!
