Tricks After Treats!

The crew came over to our side of the pasture for a visit - lucky them!  I was home and had a handful of apples for them.  Since the summer instead of just Chili having a liking for apples they have all tried it and absolutely love them! 



Although they did find out that eating them in the snow is a bit different....a good bite into the apple and they fall farther down in the snow....then a little pawing might help but then the apple disappears all together.  They apparently can still smell the apples as they have now been pawed underneath them and backing up is the only way to find the apple. 








Now you would think they would give Mom here
alittle appreciation or even a thank you -
Look what I get!





Finally......Ace comes  through




with a little love!

Now have you ever noticed that Ace is not camera
shy - he loves to be the center of attention -
he's nosy and a know it all ohhh and
don't forget he is a pest but I
love him!

He does have somewhat of a special story
which I will tell you sometime....

I believe that apple treats sparked
the frisky in everybody....




Smoke and Ace
