 dd 10 22

I thought  would never see it again but last week.  In my driveway... we achieved having a group of both adults and children eating while happily giggling over the antics of several animals.... Some of them loose ohh. as the final stragglers raced across the finish line at a snails pace..  Namely Mr. tilson an Elvis that we didn't realize that joined the race at all ...  He reported that Elvis seemed to enjoy wandering around the woods following donkeys.. so I suggest we get his golden   balls put back on his horn tips just for protection's sake..  turns out they still make them and I can get them from a dealer in Amish  country . 

 

Now that I see some of the reports coming back through the Internet I realized there is no other animal oriented activity totally enjoyable just for activity's sake and lacking  all competition. The concept of having a fairly respectable looking businessman wandering around willowdale state forest semi lost.. with a cow makes most everyone at least smile. 

 

 And to be clear Elvis is not a cow but a miniature ebu maybe.. with the hump on his shoulders like a brahma bull...   he was hand raised. it is exceedingly gentle and seems to enjoy the company of humans whether in the barn or in the driveway or in the woods.. so we must remember to give him more human company.

Yep not sure I want to include him in the daycare centers because a boy cow has a tendency just sort of drain without warning..  so he will be outside entertainment only especially if we get the balls on his horns.

 

today we have Hawthorne which is usually a group circle organized by the time we get there and we will be taking just the dogs..   jolene has already gone out riding so our equine stay home.
