Cheerios takes a roll! Saturday, 5/30/2026 Cheerios and Remi gave rides at a private event. Prior to going I turned Cheerios into the arena to burn off some energy before we left. Good thing I waited to brush him until after he had his run around time. He could not wait to roll. Please like, share and follow. 🐴🐎🐴🐎
