I must say this last week has been interesting. Rather than take him back over to the neighbor's for this week before we take him to his new home, we decided to just keep him here in the "Casper proof" pen and we have.
But in the process I've made an observation. When the week started getting his fly mask off or on was impossible, evasive doesn't even begin to explain the problem. John ended up leaving it on at night because he wasn't up to the "dance" in the dark.
I decided I'd try taking it off at chore time when it's still light. The 1st night was a "goat rope" of dancing and ducking, but after about 10 minutes he let me get hold of the fly mask and take it off. Next morning maybe 9 minutes, that night 8 etc. And in the process he let John also put it on and take it off.
To make a long story short he seems to have made a decision within that little crafty mind, that we are going to be honest with him and not try to pull a fast one. I told John if he'd stay inside the perimeter fence I'd be a "foster failure" and keep him............LOL I absolutely love to watch his reaction to things. Unfortunately though he really needs a job and Bryan plans on training him to pull a little cart, so this will be best for him.
This morning was a fun, fun time. First of all Janet a good friend that use to live in the neighborhood stopped by on her way from Mexico to Yuma. Hadn't seen her in years, in fact I think the last time was when I went down and spent a week or so with her in Mexico and really enjoyed it. She lives in a town that has expats, BUT not enough to destroy the reason they all like living there, the Mexican way of life.
Just as Janet was getting ready to leave, Claire and her son and girlfriend drove in to visit with Gus. Claire hadn't seen him in awhile and I must say he entertained them with his antics. So did the others, we let them out of the pens and they headed immediately for the gate to Burroland, actually Gus was 1st in line to go thru. Unfortunately the gate wasn't opening because we are going to races tonight and will be feeding early. I think they enjoyed the donkeys and the donkeys always enjoy having people visit, Claire even brought special treats for everyone.
Linda sent some Halloween pictures from Colorado
Boaz sure knows how to work the system...!!! LOL
