I spoke to my Mom today (in Oregon, USA) and told her about Mojo.
Her: "Why would you get a horse???"
Me "But Mom you TOLD me to do something for myself that had nothing to do with autism, epilepsy or being a carer!"
Her: "I meant cross-stitching class, join a choir, take up sculpting!"
Me: "I don't LIKE cross-stitching... I did horses in Montana, Mom."
Her: "You weren't in this situation then!"
Me: "Life is stressful for everyone Mom. I LIKE having Mojo."
Her: "I just want you to do something that is relaxing. Not take on yet another creature that you have to scrub poop off the walls for."
Does Mojo poop smear too? Surely he lacks the opposable thumbs!
More importantly, did she just call my five year old a 'creature'?
