DV, I really like the picture, too. Such a loving look on that face -- you can just feel it

Yes, he really does love me as much as I love him! When I go outside, he stands up on the gate barking with joy, jumping up and down, clapping his back legs together. It is sooo comical.

Then, when I go up to pet him, he lays his head down on the gate, just smiling sooo big. I'll see if I can find a couple pictures of it.

Here ya go . . .
He is anticipating some lovin'. This shows you how tall he is. The gate is 4 feet.

Now he is laying his head down on the gate.

Now he has rolled over so I can rub his neck.

He has you well trained!

 

[Devonviolet]

Yes he does! And Violet isn’t too bad at schnookering me into a cuddle either.

I was out trimming hooves yesterday, and got some more cute pics of my babies.

First is a funny shot of Deo

Here are sweet Faith & Hope

Here they are saying "Hi" to Rosemary, when we were taking her back after getting weighed (122 lbs) and having hooves trimmed.

Here is Angelica, she is weighing 110 lbs these days. She is so sweet! When she is on the the milk stand, and I stroke both sides of her face, she lays her head down in my hands. It just makes my heart melt!

The twins (9 mo) are almost as big as she is.

And Danny Boy (87 lbs) on the milk stand, after having his hooves trimmed

He just made my heart melt. He let me cuddle him. His white hair was so fluffy and soft. No wonder he looks so plump. My fingers sink in about 3 inches!

Is Danny Boy your Myotonic buck? Has he been able to reach your does and get the deed done?

Is Danny Boy your Myotonic buck? Has he been able to reach your does and get the deed done?

Yes, Danny Boy is our Myotonic buck. He is 10 months old. I know he is going to get bigger, because I saw his uncle when I picked Danny Boy up.

I can't say, for sure, if he is big enough to, "Do the deed". But, the last two times Angelica & Rosemary should have been in heat, he wasnt interested. So, I'm hoping they are bred.

Here is a pic of him & Rosemary standing up on the fence, getting some apple leaf candy from DH. It looks, to me, like he might be able to reach.

I dont know about that. I heard Hwy 10 is notorious for cops pulling people over and taking their stuff. Stay off that highway, @Devonviolet !
Of course, the road trip IS a good idea.

That, is more likely to be US59.. It's safe as long as they don't go as far south as Tenaha or into my county, which at one time, had the dubious distinction of being the only US county whose sheriff served time in a federal penitentiary for waterboarding confessions out of innocent people in order to justify taking their $$, jewelry, vehicles, and any other possessions The Man wanted.

(any north or NW bound highway in Texas is apt to include a permanent or temporary border patrol checkpoint, even several hundred miles from the border.)

 

[frustratedearthmother]

He looks like he's got good muscle. Hope he was able to settle those does for you!

 

[Devonviolet]

You and me both!

You're up late young lady... Hope all is well with you folks over there. Still raining here but not for much longer. Back side of the front line is approaching.
