I can't say that I've seen a horse be quite so deliberate in making goofy faces, though no doubt there are some out there who do.<br /><br />I'm glad Jerry brightened your day just as he did mine.

J.Allen Boone also took his stories further in two subsequent books, "Letters to Strongheart" and "Adventures in Kinship With All Life". I'm sure you'll appreciate reading Stephen Buhner's book when you get it.<br /><br />June, some of Jerry's poses made me think of a camel, too!Lynne Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107340619393934366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572142164579536708.post-35819380099690334672010-03-24T10:08:18.273-04:002010-03-24T10:08:18.273-04:00what a great guy! The photos remind me of a camel...what a great guy! The photos remind me of a camel we saw at New Orleans zoo the other day, who was leaning over his fence, trying to get the attention of some people working in the no-man's-land between his fence and the keep-out-the-public fence. I was, like, - Dang, how can they stand there and not go and talk to that adorable camel?Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428008814751524182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572142164579536708.post-38479513438056396452010-03-24T08:59:44.897-04:002010-03-24T08:59:44.897-04:00I was interested in your mules too, after reading ...I was interested in your mules too, after reading through this blog.
