Meet Daisy

       Strong, intelligent, wise, patient, beautiful Daisy is Curly's trusty quarter horse - and a whole lot more.  She's his sidekick. 'Course, sometimes she'd like to kick him in the side.  Not that she's cantankerous, you understand.  She's just a spoilsport, who. . . .

WHOMP!

Ahem.

        Now that cutie pie, our so-called "author," is sleeping peacefully up there - draped ever-so-elegantly over a stable rafter.  So before he wakes up and starts whining, let me tell you about my lovely self.  You just won't believe how I've suffered!
       Curly would be nothing without me, nothing, I tell you.  The man's incompetent.  If I weren't here to take care of him, I just don't know what would happen.  But I'm here - for him - so everything will be fine.
       Except sometimes he's so insensitive.  Sniff.  He ignores my needs.
       Hey!  He's just stopped combing my luxurious coat.  Why would he do that?? Is he just stupid? Oh, very well.  I'll have another carrot.
Actually, Curly's just plain crazy!  There's no telling what he's going to do next, and you just know something horrible will happen!
