Before I get into the hilarious story surrounding this gorgeous rocking horse, I want to say Thank You Thank You Thank You to my parents (and my mom especially) for getting this extraordinary gift for baby Miles. What a stunning piece of furniture/toy!!! You really have to see this horse in person to appreciate the full beauty of it. Nana searched the net for just the right rocking horse and she discovered a rocking horse maker located in Canada who hand carves each and every horse!!! The gentleman who made this piece even signed it. It's truly breathtaking. If you ask my parents dogs what they think of it though, they will tell you that it's TERRIFYING!!!! Well, they would tell you that if they could speak. When my parents told me about Jimmy and Lani's first experience with seeing this "ghastly beast" I was in stitches with laughter!!!! Nana & Grandpa thought, with two puppies bounding through the house, that the rocking horse would be safer if placed somewhere up high where the dogs could not get to it. I can only imagine what that beautiful mane would look like once Jimmy or Lani had their way with it!!!! So they placed the rocking horse on the kitchen counter. Now imagine you are Jimmy, sauntering through the house, a ball in your mouth, as you round the corner to enter the kitchen. Your world is as it should be, except...... WHAT..... IS......THAT??????? Apparently, the ball fell from his mouth as his eyes widened and he panicked at the sight of this gargantuan horse!!! As instinct would have it, he began barking like mad, which prompted Lani to come running. Only, when she made it around the bend into the kitchen she immediately tried to put on the brakes, but the smooth tile was no match!!! She slid headlong into Jimmy. Now we have two almost fully grown doberman's falling all over eachother, barking like mad!!! What a sight that must have been!!! Nana & Granpa said that this hysterical display went on for quite some time before they decided that the best place for the horse would be locked away in the closet where it could no longer torture the dogs!!! I love it!!! Not only does Miles have this beautiful gift from his Nana & Grandpa Bernero, but he will also have this great story as well!!! Thanks again, guys!!! We love you!!!
