George washes up on the beach

I've observed burro behavior long enough to have a pretty good grip on their body language and mannerisms, 
but now and then, one of them will do something new that leaves me asking questions.

Me: George, you look like you're about to tip over. Why are your back legs locked together?



Me: Do you have to pee? Do your feet hurt? I'm concerned. Talk to me.



George: I was about to lie down and got my legs in position to plop 
but then I heard you come out the door and I thought 
there might be food involved so I thought I'd better not lie down because 
I'd only have to stand back up again and was it really worth all that effort? 
and then you started taking pictures and I thought crap this could go on forever 
so I might as well finish what I started and lie down.


Me: I'm sorry I asked.



A sleeping George bears a strong resemblance to a beached whale,



albeit a very contented one.

  6. A beached whale. Really now. Dearest George, if you feel insulted, let me know and I'll come get you. I still have the outside elevator I had built for my GreatBigLoveOfMyLife dog, so you could even come up from the garden for visits on my verandah!

    P.S. If there is a Best Translator/Interpreter award, you, Carson, should receive it for the language combination Equine (etc.) to English!
