The line for love forms here

Some very special friends made the trek to the 7MSN yesterday. 
Rumor has it they come to visit every morning before they leave for school,
but yesterday was their first "in person" trip.

We hadn't been in the corral for a minute when Lucy and the boys came over and lined up for some love.


Lucy got more than her fair share.



Lucy loves affection, and she gives as much as she takes...with people, anyway.



With her herdmates, it's a different story.



Lucy: Don't you dare think you're getting in on this action.



Lucy: He's MY friend and I was here first.



Lucy: Get to the back of the line and wait your turn.



You get one guess as to what's going on here.



I've seen this look so often lately, it warrants a name.
I think I shall call it "watermelon eye,"



which would make this "double watermelon eye."



And this would be "watermelon nose."

  2. Ha! I was melting with Lucy's sweetness in the 2nd and 3rd pictures and then THE EARS WENT BACK! Way back. I think she was serious.
    Hank and his watermelon eye. I feel that way about mashed potatoes with a big glob of butter on top.
    I know your visitors enjoyed the personalities. Fun post.

  4. Your photos make it perfectly clear why folks use equines in physical/emotional therapy for people. What a love fest you had going there!

  7. The look in Hank's eyes! Usually when you see the whites of their eyes you cringe, this time it just makes you smile.

  10. Watermelon is such a great treat for them in hot weather... That is total watermelon eye, and so much nicer than stink eye.

  11. Thanks for a perfect Sunday. Casa de Cuckoo is still on cloud 7MSN. And for sure now, Ry wants to grow up and have a Ranch were his Sissy can keep all her rescue donkeys and horses. He says he wants chickens and a donkey friend just like Lucy.
