It seems Dolly has learned when I go grocery shopping I also go to the feed store. I pulled in earlier & her highness came to be nosey & make sure everything was ok. It was & she walked back to the roundbale until I grabbed 8 grocery bags to schlep inside. She trotted back to the gate. I unloaded & realized her halter was really loud. I stupidly thought she was caught or something so I ran to her aid. She had stuck her head through the gate & was rubbing it back & forth on the metal. When I got there she whipped her head back through & stared at me expectantly.
I went back to the groceries & put them away. Then I moved the truck to unload the feed. She did the halter rubbing thing again! I fed the rabbits then dumped all the feed into their containers. To get to the pigs I go in her pen so I told her to move I only had pig food & she complied. When I got her food she & Dixie were blocking the gate. I told her if she wanted some to move her big self out of the way. She turned & ran about 8 steps back. Dixie was still at the gate. Dolly ran over & bumped her on the rear end to get her to move. She turned & ran back to where she was! I had latched the gate & it took me a min to get it open again. Meanwhile Dolly is turning in circles like an excited dog!
She's never been so excited before! It wasn't even time for her to eat but she was being so funny & it's so cold I fed her a little anyways. She was a dear at milking time too. There's really no point to this I just thought it was funny she knew crinkling grocery bags meant goodies for her. Dh just said guess you had to be there... The way she ran forward to knock Dixie out of the way & ran back was hilarious!
