Walking with the Neighbors

Morgan asked me if I wanted to get up early on Saturday morning and take a walk...if it wasn't too hot that is...and it wasn't and I agreed. So off we went and there at the bottom of the driveway were Wrascle and his new friend...well...we don't know his name yet, but he sure is a friendly fellow!



Wrascle and no name walked with us down the road a little bit, but Wascle is a smart pup and when I tell him to stay home, he listens. 



A little further down the road we finally got to meet these two neighbors that we see nearly everyday but never stopped to introduce ourselves too. They didn't tell us their names either, but they enjoyed our company, as we did theirs.



As soon as we left  no name #3 and no name #4, we were greeted by a LOUD WOOOOOOOOOOO and we weren't quite sure how to take that salutation, was it friend or foe? Well, it turned out to be a friend and there wasn't a thing we could do to keep our new friend from showing us the ropes of the neighborhood.





We decided, since he didn't offer up his name, we would call him Buddy, cause that is what he was,
our Buddy.



Buddy walked up the road with us until we turned back to head home. At first he was a little too excited to meet us and wanted to jump...but with a few stern points and "psssstts" in our best Cesar Millan, he understood and was as good as gold!

This and the next series of photos I think is quite telling of the relationship that our three neighbors have. Personally, I think no name #3 (the lighter donkey, or is that a mule???) is the pack leader.





You'll notice the unspoken wordage between #3 and Buddy...even tho Buddy wanted to be a part of the petting fun...he was "asked" to move away by Mr. #3.





We had a great time meeting our neighbors and since Buddy lived right across the street from these fellows we tried to tell him to stay home. We tried to tell him it was too hot, he should go lay in his bed, but no, he wouldn't have it. He stayed behind us a bit, but actually followed us to our driveway and then said his goodbye and turned to head home. (I think he just really wanted to know where we lived).



Before we got to our drive, Morgan was temped by the neighbors Magnolia tree and HAD to have a thick, leathery leaf of her own.



And I just had to have a photo of this beautiful Pine that borders our property.
