Remember the scene from Footloose where Kevin Bacon’s character plays chicken with a tractor?
Fast forward to 2010, Bernard and Morning Bray Farm…
Fergus and Nigel thought Bernard had lost his marbles.
Bernard, really?
Here too? No, Bernard, you can not chew on the tractor. ♥

Aw – I love those hind feet touching each other, too!
Maybe he was trying to engage Don in a game of goober tag?

Bernard feels very safe in his environment.
Bulletproof, in fact.
Don’t ever let somebody who doesn’t know him groom that dirt!

Bernard, Bernard, Bernard…your name just seems so fitting in times like these. It requires just the right amount of head shaking to say it.

That Bernard is such a character… he’s looking at the tractor like, “bring yer best game.. I’m ready”.

That whole ‘butt facing’ tactic says “You’re not the boss of me”. Bernard is so silly. He didn’t want you messing up his perfectly messy arena. 🙂

Don’t you know you are supposed to ask his permission before you bring a noisy machine in to his turf?

No, actually, what he is really wanting is for that big fancy rake to scratch his butt!! Since he likes the hand rake so much, this one must be MUCH much better.

How lovely that Bernard is so confident and trusting…….. 🙂
One of our dogs used to do this, when we mowed with the old push mower. She would move, but always into the path you’d take with the next pass……

Seeeeelly critters…………..

Oh my, Footloose! How I remember that movie. And I must say, Bernard has much better hair than Kevin did at the time!
What a hoot that Bernard is! If only we knew what was going through his mind at the time…

I, for one, believe that Bernard is far more handsome then Kevin Bacon. (Sorry Kevin!)
Perhaps Bernard wants to be trained to pull a cart. Maybe he is trying to tell you something….

Too funny! For a minute there I thought he was going to break out one of those matador capes and do a little — tractor fighting. Bernard: Ole! I guess he couldn’t appreciate the Zen like pattern he was being provided in his corral.
