This morning, I found the little old ladies asleep in the sunshine together.
When they lived together, this was something they never could do as one pony had to stay awake to alert for potential tigers.
I love seeing Fivla and Vitamin asleep together. It makes me realise that I made the right choice by putting them in with the other old folk because they don’t have to look after each other anymore and can relax in the sunshine together, which is lovely to see.
Vitamin is 31 years old, while Fivla is 29.
The other thing I like is that Dahlia and Gussie spend a lot of time around the Old Ladies. They like them and they trust them.
Lambie and his friends do not like Shetland ponies but that is because of there is history of ponies chasing Lambie when he was a wee lamb. He does not forgive or forget. Ever.
Anywho, Dahlia does not know this and she wants to be around Fivla and Vitamin.
As does Gussie. He learns from his mother who is very accepting and trusting, which is surprising for a wild hill sheep.
Dear little sheeps.
And that makes my heart smile too despite what Lambie says. Lambie is an idiot, though.
isn’t it amazing that every animal, even those of the same species, each has their own particular personality.
