Don and I enjoy taking our camp chairs out into the corral or pasture as often as we can to sit and be with the boys. When I did just that yesterday afternoon, Bernard decided to lay down for a nap next to me.
I decided to join him.

I’m getting sleepy just looking at him! And what did you leave in your camp chair? It may be gone.

Liz,
I left the phone in the camp chair. I’m not sure who Ellsworth called. 🙂

I can just imagine the neighbors walking by … “Are they dead?” “Are they napping?” “Oh…she’s got a camera. Probably just blogging.”

Carson,
I think I may be getting a reputation for being the crazy neighbor lady who is always laying down in the pasture with her donkeys. Oh well, there are much worse reputations to have! 😉

Bernard, standing = very very cute
Bernard, napping, with his head tucked = unbearably cute
I think his pics could be used as secret weapons for Good. Who could do something mean or nasty after just looking at Bernard, napping?

Oh, that nose. I now have a smudge on my monitor from stroking the nose.
Somehow, I think the real thing feels better.
Thank you for the peaceful interlude.
(Oh, and I, too, am wondering who Ellsworth called. Dominos is probably going to show up with a no cheese, extra carrots whole wheat crust pizza.)

Cathy,
Your comment struck me sooooooooooo funny today. I laughed over and over again each time I thought about it. I just kept imagining the Domino’s pizza guy delivering a pizza and asking for Ellsworth.

He’s so adorable. There’s something so instantly calming about watching an animal companion all snoozy and relaxed.

Now I KNOW I can’t ever get burros.
I’ve have my bed set up in the pasture/corral with them so I could cuddle with ’em.
He looks like a great big fuzzy cuddle toy!

June,
Don and I have a running joke where just about every day, I ask him if Bernard can sleep in the house with us that night. I’m sad to say that the answer is always no. 😉

awwwwwwww……I am so incredibly jealous….in a nice kind of way. I can almost feel the fur and smell that wonderful hay breath and hear the sweet little breathing…..I can’t imagine anything else that would give a crappy time of life a little bit of sunshine. Since I can’t do the same, thanks for sharing the pics and letting me have some sunshine vicariously!
