Chapter 1. Felicia imagines new names for all that live in the Turquoise Prairie.
Felicia was enjoying one very warm and calm Spring day at Aunt Jane’s acreage or as Felicia calls it, the “Turquoise Prairie”. The calm wind was nice because central Oklahoma can be very windy in the Spring. Felicia was thinking about all the wonderful critters that belong to Aunt Jane and the acreage and decided to give them special names. Chewy was always good and kind to all creatures and loved being where-ever Aunt Jane and Pete were. So, he will be called “Good Chewy”. Flora was also known as being very mild mannered and kind and would be known as “Flora the Protector”. Tori was the smallest Sheltie and loved everyone, but especially Flora. Tori investigated everything on the acreage and even the toads of all sizes. But, Tori never hurt the toads and was always gentle to them. So, she will be called “ The Queen of the Toads”. Charloote was Aunt Jane’s “Faithful Little Filly”. And Rusty was usually in the stable with Charlotte and he made sure everything was in order. So, he shall be the “Rusty the Keeper of the Stable”. There was one large toad that Felicia would see almost every day in the Spring and Summer. So she named him “Ivan the Supreme Toad”. Ivan was the fastest toad in the garden and he kept order there and in the streams that flowed through the acreage. All of the smaller toads looked to Ivan for guidance.
The last, but not least, person that needed a new name was her big Brother, Pete. Pete was always wanting to play jokes and scare Felicia and Aunt Jane. He thought that was fun. But, it was not always fun for Felicia and Aunt Jane. So, Felicia thought that he should become “Rascally Pete”. Now that Felicia had used her imagination to re-name the inhabitants of the Turquoise Prairie she would be ready for a new adventure and be surprised by a new name for herself.
Chapter 2. Felicia becomes “Felicia Princess of the Boot”.
It was another nice day at Aunt Jane’s acreage, the Turquoise Prairie. It was summer vacation from school and Felicia and Pete were spending the day at Aunt Jane’s. They had just eaten breakfast and were helping Aunt Jane clean up the dishes. The kitchen chores were done and everyone had places to be on the acreage.
Aunt Jane went out to work in the garden and Flora and Tori went out with her. Aunt Jane had a chain link fence installed around her house and garden and stable so that the Shelties could explore with everyone and be safe. Pete was headed outside with Chewy following him and Felicia decided to go check on Charlotte in the stable. Felicia had dressed ready to take Charlotte on a nice walk on the acreage this morning. She had already asked Aunt Jane’s permission to do this. But, first she needed to give Charlotte a nice brushing and let her have the carrot that Felicia had brought from the kitchen. Rusty had found him a nice wooden box to rest on. The box had some of Charlotte’s horse blankets stored on top and Rusty loved to lay on them. Felicia finished brushing Charlotte and her coat had a most beautiful sheen to it. Felicia slipped the halter around Charlotte’s neck. They were just about ready for their walk. Charlotte was very calm and not much bigger than Felicia and they both had many lessons on getting ready for walks from Aunt Jane. Felicia was always making sure to practice good safety measures for her and Charlotte’s benefit.
Felicia and Charlotte went out of the stable. Rusty decided to stay and sleep. Felicia led Charlotte down a path they normally follow. The green grass is not tall and there is a small beautiful stream on the path. The path makes a circle and ends up going around Aunt Jane’s garden as it leads back to the stable. Just as Felicia and Charlotte were approaching the stream, they both saw a beautiful little rabbit pop up just by Charlotte’s hoof. It did not scare Charlotte but she stepped back to not step on the rabbit and accidentally bumped Felicia. The ground was soft and Felicia fell on the soft grass. She twisted her leg when she fell. Felicia was able to get up and Charlotte stood very still as she had been taught by Aunt Jane. When Felicia got back up, her leg was really hurting. She could see Aunt Jane in the garden and called out for her. Aunt Jane came running over and helped Felicia and Charlotte back to the stable. She had Felicia sit on Rusty’s box while she got Charlotte back in her stall.
Felicia could walk back to the house, but her leg was very sore. Aunt Jane called Felicia’s Parents and they along with Pete got all the shelties back in their kennels in the house and headed into town to the Doctor’s office. The Doctor examined Felicia’s leg and decided that she needed to wear a protective boot for her leg to heal. Felicia did not like wearing the boot. She thought it was hard to walk with and it was hard to get on and off. She was kind of sad. That is when Aunt Jane and Pete got together and decided to tell Felicia that she would now be known as “Felicia Princess of the Boot”. Since Felicia had always wished to be a princess, she really liked that name and the boot was not as bad as she had thought. And, that is how Felicia became “Felicia Princess of the Boot”. What will Felicia’s next adventure be?
