Kyle got a job! He'll be taking care of a "miniature horse" like one of these! The neighbors a few houses down are taking a Christmas trip to watch the Rose Bowl Parade in California. They needed someone to care for their mini horse and hired Kyle for the job! He will be taking care of his new charge, "Dan" for 10 days and will earn real money for the job! Today he asked me if he could save his money to buy a car when he turns 16. He'll need to care for Dan a lot longer than 10 days to earn enough money for a car, but I liked his saving money attitude! We'll just see how he feels at the end of the 10 days... feeding on cold mornings and shoveling snow to make his way into the barn on frozen evenings. It should be a great lesson in responsibility, and that earning money can be hard work! :-)

Denise that is so cool! I cannot wait to see a picture of Dan. What a neat job, and a fun experience.
Lets see. Mukluk is a chow hound, and minis can easily be over-fed. So be sure you don't give Dan more than he needs, no matter how many cute ways he asks for it. Hee hee. I cannot wait to hear all about the job. Thanks for sharing about it!
Way to go Kyle! I think that is really great! Good luck on saving for the car too. Glad to see that you are thinking ahead. It will be here (16) before you know it.
OMG I want that job too! Just cuz those minis are so darn adorable. But how wonderful for son to have this great experience of his first job. You'll be so proud of him!
I am going to the Rose Parade :)
