I got some extra good #donkey hugs this morning!
When Samwise wants a hug, he gives me a Look, and I bend over at the waist and shuffle over in front of him, with my back like a table for his head. He drapes his head over me, or he grooms my coat with his teeth, and I scratch and massage his chest. Eventually my arms got tired and I wriggled out from under him, but he kept his head low. That’s an invitation, so I offered to rub his ears and he loved that. Afterwards, he was too soggy for me to be willing to scratch his back, but I scratched his butt a bit before I headed on to the chicken coop.
Miss D looked even worse. Sh’d just rolled after standing in the rain for hours, and she was covered in bits of soggy manure and gravel.
I cleaned their stall yesterday! It’s pristine! Why are they like this? Horsekeeping in January and February is so unrewarding 😂
