Pedants live to point out the insignificant and petty errors of others . Don’t deprive them of their pleasure ; )
The fawns start arriving here about the last week in April-by Memorial Day, they are pretty much all down and following the doe around.
There were a couple of does browsing close to the yard again last night, but not as near the deck, so maybe Husky girl, with her barking and avid interest in chasing them gave them something to talk about...
The watch-donkey up the road lets everyone know when deer are coming up from the river-starts braying and running around the goats in the pasture she shares with them the minute a deer or anything else is seen.
They are pretty-looking animals, but only her owner can get near her without getting trampled and kicked to death-they are used for livestock guards-along with those equally mean llamas-a lot out here...
Are we rooting for the red, white, and blue or the bleu, blanc, et rouge?
Rooting for habs unforch.
Me, too. I just turned it on in time to see them give up 2 goals in the final minute of 2nd.
Watch donkey, ROR!
Just root for MSL. Everyone loves him. Did you see Subban kiss Pierre the other night? Very funny.
