Watching Bernard, Ellsworth and George exhausted Lucy and Alan.
Those crazy boys never stopped moving.
Alan thought George had lost his marbles.
Why was George cavorting with the city boys like that?
Oh, how they played and played and played!
What a posse. Small, medium and large. ♥

I think yesterday was one of the best days of young Bernard’s life. While his brothers were contentedly eating breakfast, Bernard wanted a part of whatever was going on as soon as Don started backing up the trailer.
It was a perfect New Mexico day as we drove to The 7MSN Ranch.
As soon as we arrived, Bernard expressed his excitement by letting out a big, loud bray. George and Alan were so excited, they floated on air.
I simply loved seeing Bernard in this environment.
After a delicious lunch on the porch – while watching the burro brothers and Bernard gallop past in single file – we all took a walk in the pasture. Bernard made himself completely at home and led the way.
George, Alan, Carson and Hank were right behind us.
And when it was time to head back to the barn, Bernard led the way once again.
At the end of the afternoon, parting was such sweet sorrow. By the time we arrived home, the sun was beginning to set as we crossed the Rio Grande, and the only thing Bernard could talk about was the next time he visits The 7MSN, Ellsworth will be along for the ride. ♥

This post is for George and Alan; the Burro Brothers, with love from Bernard and Ellsworth; the Donkey Boys.
Dear George and Alan,
Cone spring training started this weekend and we want you to know we’re your biggest fans.
You’ve set the bar high, which is why we’ll be working extra hard on things like strength training and eye-mouth coordination,
and cone carry techniques…
…because we want to avoid any dropped cones. Sorry Coach!
We’ll also be working on balance…
…and of course, flexibility.
You’ve inspired us to greatness. Here’s to a great Cone season!
With love,
Bernard and Ellsworth xx00xx
