April drifts off to sleep and the Sandman takes over … So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhereWith a big black horse and a cherry tree(Woohoo, woohoo)Now it won’t come back ‘cause it’s oh-so-happyAnd now I’ve got a hole for the world to see(Woohoo, woohoo)
I believe I’ve dreamed about horses twice in my life. Once when I was riding, once about four years after we sold our horse. In the dream I was saying goodbye to her and I often wonder if that was the day she died. She would have been about at the end of her life expectancy at that point.
We, fathers have a soft spot in our hearts for our daughters while deep down inside Mothers think of them as competition—they are other women aren’t they ! ! ! !

Early hints that April will be the type of girl who likes to spend her time around large animals, maybe even professionally.

John, you’re a real softie. Your wife would be screaming her fool head off at this scenario!

Every little girls dream, to have a pony of their very own.

I can see the other stuff, April. But doncha think that the boots are a bit much?

An oddly precognitive strip—-I doubt April’s future had been planned out at this stage

Time to buy April a pony!

I don’t understand all of the criticism either. It is just a comic1

Sounds like a good reason to me! She may get tired of the extra stuff during the night but that’s up to her and certainly no harm in it! Dream on.
DagNabIt! about 5 hours ago
Maybe she’s just taking that stuff to bed so she can ride her night mare.
Hope she sleeps dry while wearing her cowboy outfit …. wouldn’t want to get chapped hips!

April’s dream. She is walking in a cemetary and an undead dog rises from the ground
Farley: You killed me, April!
April: Oh no, oh no!
April runs down to river. Undead dog is chained to riverbed
Farley: You killed me, April!
Ground swallows April down the Gates of Hell. People cheer
Crowd: Justice for Farley! Ooga Farley!
Elly: One less oops baby for me!
Four Horsemen ride across sky. April awakens
April: AUGGGH! Not dreaming of those horses!
