Day by day. bit by bit, the animals work out the dramas of life. We are feeding Simon and Rocky together in the Pole Barn, talking to them both, soothing Simon, giving him attention. He is relaxing around Rocky, watching him, but not with the vigilance or intensity of before. Rocky goes about his business, padding back and forth to his pasture. Simon seems to be studying him, trying to figure him out. We are leaving them all together for this morning, giving them a chance to take it further. Leaving them unsupervised – we have to work. It has a different feel to it now. We’ll be cautious and vigilant. It is important to sort this out before the winter.
