Teri Jo's Page

Hi my name is Teri. I'm 11 years old. I love being with my family, riding horses, and playing with my dog and watching my chickens.

I love being with my whole family my aunts, uncles, and parents don't forget the cousins. I have a lot of cousins so I won't start naming. My aunts are Becky, Bonnie, Beth, Berta, Rosie, and Sherry. Sherry is my favorite aunt. My uncles are Mike, Brian, Ed, and Mark. My parents are Terry and Cora. I have a sister, Michelle, and a brother, Nick. They both are in college.

I love horses. I have a bedroom full of things that have to do with horses. I think I have maybe about 100 toy horses on my shelves. I love being at the barn where my mom and I have lessons. My mom has fallen off once. I have fallen off twice. I still had to take care of them after riding. Twice I have gone to a camp. When we are there we take care of the horses and ride them after cleaning their stalls, feeding, and cleaning them off. It is very fun when we get to take the horses out on trails. I have had a lot of fun even though I have fallen off.

When I am home I love being with my Australian Shepherd, Azul. He is two years old. Sometimes he will slam his body against your legs. If your not used to it he might supposedly knock you down. He loves going down to the bay in our backyard and going observing our backyard, watching our chickens, and playing outside. Sometimes when I'm walking Azul I will stop to watch our chickens. We have four roosters and twelve hens. There is one that is not very smart. It will sometimes go around kind of acting like duck. We also have a rooster that will pick its feet up all the way to its body, then will put them all the way out in front of him. We have two hens that will lay or will lay green eggs, three that lay brown eggs, and one that lays white eggs. Hopefully the other six hens will start laying their brown or white eggs. Two of the roosters we have are gorgeous. One of the them is a Blue Andalusian. He is blue with what looks like a black cape on its back. Our French rooster has greens, oranges, black, browns, and creamy white shades all over. He is the most beautiful bird I've ever seen even though he sometimes attacks or at least tries to.

All the things that matter to me the most are having my family around me, having fun with horses and playing with my dog and also watching my chickens.
