You have to hand it to the Love Dog, charming a blind 33-year-old pony is not the simplest task for any dog. Lenore is very practiced at dealing with farm animals, and Rocky sensed her, smelled her from a ways off. She sat perfect still as he approached her cautiously (I had been introducing them through the fence.) Lenore is a good readers of animals – she stays well away from Simon, who does not like dogs much. But she locked onto Rocky and waited as he sniffed around her, and then got comfortable with her. After a few minutes, Lenore was sniffing around and Rocky was grazing, a good sign that an equine is relaxed. Lenore is a powerful spirit, love is important work, and she does a lot of it.
