Spring into friendship

That's what Magnolia does. Since she was a pup, Mags has pursued relationships with all things living. One of my favorite memories of her as a little one and a very telling moment of her personality for me, was when she discovered an ant on our patio. She was intrigued and very excited to share space with another soul. She patiently observed the little guy, whined a little(in that adorable "I am really excited kind of way"), and finally inched closer on her belly to get a better look. She was careful not to frighten him by moving too fast and did not want to hurt him by stepping on him. It was time to meet face to face. Mags moved her head close to him in order to sniff and lick him as she does with everyone she meets. Well, you can pretty much guess the outcome of that interaction. (She spent about 10 minutes inquiring as to his whereabouts)

The point is, Mags is innately loving and curious towards all living creatures. We trust her implicitly with all animals on the property. (although I am not sure about chipmunks) The weather has improved exponentially(as has our moods) so we have been reintroducing Mags to the sheep. She seems to have a natural penchant for herding as well as making friends. Here are some pics from yesterday's visit. Thankfully the sheep are over a hundred pounds so no chance of losing them to a nostril. :)

Did I do good Mom?

She will love me soon

Aw come on and just play

Except maybe for 6' tall men that only occasionally visit her house :)
