I consider myself a pretty pragmatic person, sensible, logical, user of common sense.
My qualifer is, except when it comes to my critters. I'm just loopy about them
I am notorious for wanting to attribute human emotions and characteristics to them.
I'd love to know what they are thinking and feeling, for real, not just what I think they
are feeling.
So as this is Valentine's Day and Love is in the Air I am wondering, again today, do
these guys LOVE each other? Do you ever wonder if they love one pasture mate
more than another or have an affinity to one, more than another?
Maybe I just have to much time on my hands LOL but I can spend hours leaning on
the top fence rail watching these wonderful critters move amongst each other.
My observation is our little stallion, BabyZee LOVES Zoe, his first 'wife'. She loves him.
When he whinnys she comes racing from where ever she has wandered off to to graze,
every time. Much of the time she grazes close to his fenceline. They are happiest
pastured together.
He likes Lady, at 'certain' times
, rest of the time he could care less about her.
He is surrounded by girls, except for Zoe and Lady they are his daughters. He has no
interest in them - he charges the fence as if to drive them away from his area.
The two sisters, born a year apart, are constant companions, always together. They groom each
other, they eat from the same spot. They stand next to their common stall wall at night.
The other girls hang out together, groom each other but are seem more independent of each other.
So how about you? Do you notice any of yours having a special connection to another in
your herd?
Happy Valentine's Day to you, your's and your critters
