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. ♥

First, for Mel in N.Y., here’s Bernard modeling the chucker a la Morning Bray Farm. Thanks, Carson!
Now, on to Bernard’s exgooberance for the poor, poor Jolly Ball.
Don came home last week to find Bernard stepping on and shredding the Jolly Ball.
Poor, sad Jolly Ball wasn’t jolly anymore. Of course Don immediately took it away from Bernard for fear that he would swallow a piece of it.
A trip to the farm supply store yesterday morning brought us home with a shiny new Jolly Ball. Bernard was very skeptical.
Upon further examination…
Bernard determined that the new Jolly Ball was worthy of his attention. Hmm… same technique though. We’ll have to keep an eye on Bernard and his new Jolly Ball.
Meanwhile, we have some other extremely exciting news to share! Nigel let me touch him for the very first time yesterday morning. Back-to-back scritches on his forehead… we’re totally okay with baby steps buddy. Love you. ♥

I decided to take Bernard for a walk around the neighborhood over the weekend. I didn’t take my camera because I wanted to pay full-time and attention to Bernard. Normally Don or Ellsworth would have come along, but it was just Bernard and me this time.
As always, Bernard did great, but for Ellsworth, you would’ve thought the world was ending. The running, the pacing, the braying… oh my.
When I returned with Bernard, it was a beautiful thing. Yup, they’ll always be inseparable, those two.
I think for Ellsworth, relief is spelled B-E-R-N-A-R-D. ♥

Last night, as I was going through random pictures taken over the weekend, I came across a couple of shots that made me crack up. I’m sure you can guess who’s that donkey.
This picture is very a la Loch Ness Monster. (This picture reeeely makes me crack up.)
Did you figure it out? Just in case you haven’t, here’s a hint for ya.

Bernard regards the poop scoopin’ rake with awe.
When Bernard is around, Don calls scoopin’ poop donkey lacrosse.
And, as usual, Bernard thinks that’s hysterically funny. Probably because he’s a goober.

We’ve noticed Ellsworth and Fergus playing together a lot lately.
They look happy together,
and seem to have a genuinely good time.
They don’t mind if Bernard or Nigel want to join in their fun,
but the play between Ellsworth and Fergus often seems to go on indefinitely.
While all the play was going on yesterday morning, Bernard was only interested in what time breakfast was being served. I think he was serious.

Poor Bernard. I know personally that being short sometimes has its advantages. On the other hand, sometimes it’s downright tough.
Yo, ‘Worth. Do you think you could score me some of those leaves?
You mean these leaves up here?
Yes, Ellsworth. Those leaves up there.
Dang, these are some good leaves Bernard.
I promise I’ll be your best friend forever…
