Each evening for 1 week out of every month, we feed a product called Sand Clear to the Boyz and Gracie.
Sand Clear is crumbles of psyllium seed husk with an apple and molasses flavor. Psyllium absorbs water in the intestines to form a gel-like substance that removes sand, helping to prevent sand colic.
Inevitably, after each serving, the psyllium roll begins:
Patrick: Let’s get this little party started! This is how we roll, people!
Patrick: I want to see everyone drop and give me two rolls!
Ellsworth: You kick it to the left!
Ellsworth: And you kick it to the right!
Bernard: Jeez, Patrick! Why are you watching me?!
Bernard: Mom! Tell Patrick to stop looking at me!
Gracie: Would you Boyz please pipe down? I’m trying to get my roll on, here.
Nigel: Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’.
Nigel: Yessir. Enjoying my moment of zen.
Yessir, the psyllium roll. An unexplained phenomenon at Morning Bray Farm.
p.s. In case you’re wondering where Buck was, he was enjoying his maiden taste of psyllium. So much so, he was busy going from dish to dish licking up crumbs instead of joining the psyllium roll. ♥

That’s funny! I wonder what they eat when they’re wild to accomplish that purpose. I’ll bet there’s something they do…

That’s just weird. Maybe rolling is their version of a happy dance?

Maybe it tickles their tummies! Actually, it reminds me a little of Rosie’s post-dinner face rub on the back of the couch.

Flartus,
Oh yes, the post-dinner face rubs on the front of the couch, the leg of my pants, the carpet in the living room, the skirt of the bed… 😀

That is so funny! I’ve never seen Harry and Gunny do a dance like that. Maybe your psyllium is better than ours:-)

We have an idea…..we think the psyllium not only tickles their tummies but makes the herd “psilly um” than usual….grands, I swear grands thought that one up. Enjoyed this rollin’ photo shoot…..but then, we always enjoy whatever the donkey stars of MBF do. Casa de Cuckoo

I agree with Flartus, I think maybe it tickles their tummies.

Rockin’ and a rollin’……………… 🙂
I, too, was wondering if rolling helps that psyllium slide on through…..
