An appropriate mat for our house-sit farm

The place we are house-sitting is called Tank Farm which seemed an odd name to us until we learned that Tank Road that runs past the gate used to lead to a tank where the early settlers could access water. The mat is very appropriate as the lady of the house is an endurance rider and I’m feeding three horses for her, Dixie the dog is a major partner in the farm and Jimmy the sulphur-crested cockatoo is just as important. Maybe I need to get a mat for our house. We could have a kangaroo on it.

The animals are no trouble and there isn't really too much to have to do to/with them.

I suppose I should have known you could get them made to order. Maybe I'll get one for our house.

@RebeccasFarm I'll have to decide if I want kangaroos or Herc on it. Maybe I could have them both.

Yes, she told me who made it but I've forgotten the name now. It must a cottage industry type place.

Interesting mat. Yes, you should get a mat with a kangaroo on it.

@JudyEv That's a good idea too. Maybe you could put both Herc and a kangaroo on the mat.

Just about everyone knows how much I love going to Disney World, so my daughter got me a custom-made mat that has the Disney World monorail on it

@JudyEv My daughter is in the process of getting some custom-made Disney shirts for us all to wear during our Christmas vacation. We always see people wearing shirts that say things like "I'm only here for the food," or "I'm only here for the rides," etc. She has an idea to play off of those "I'm only here..." messages. At Disney Word, on just about every attraction there are safety messages, rules and other instructions being broadcast from overhead speakers, or from the cast members (workers). My daughter is going to make shirts that say things like: "I'm only here to fill in all available space." (what they tell you in order to squeeze more people into the queues for the rides) "I'm only here to pull up on the lap bar." (the safety check before a ride starts, to make sure your lap bar is locked into place so you don't fall off during the ride) "I'm only here to hold small children by the hand." (what they tell parents so they don't lose their kids) There are one or two more, but I can't think of them right now. But she has a lot of good t-shirt ideas.
