The energy of youth, how lovely it is to see. The wise one, Ellsworth, knows it’s a temporary and fleeting time of life and is happy to just observe it all.
Wow, is he only 18 months old? I’m not sure I knew this – what exhuberance, what joy, what enthusiasm! Every shot made me smile.
Do you have a sense how big he will ultimately get?
Farmgirl,
We’re thinking that as a “small standard” he probably won’t grow but another inch or two taller at the very most. He has definitely filled out in the last six months though.
I’m a relative newcomer to Morning Bray Farm and it’s taking me quite some time to get to know all the animals! How could I not fall in love with Bernard? what a star – and doesn’t he know it!

Cute series of pictures, but the first is my favorite. This guy just like to have a good time!

And there stands Ellsworth, the voice of reason. I just want to reach through the screen and hug both of them.
