Saturday the 27th. I actually typed Satyrday, and given how he was acting...

It actually is somewhat apropos.

When I'm there at the barn, I sometimes let Dusty out to wander up and down the length of the farm, grazing on the outside of the fences (where the grass is less eaten down).

Saturday, he was inside so I let him loose. He spent much of the time visiting the mares and teasing them - most of them are in their springtime heat.

He really is an old goat.

(Hmmmm... maybe an old goat next week....)

This week:

And after about 15 minutes of birdie ministrations:



Sunday because of other stuff happening, I didn't finish up with Tico until late and Dusty was already happily noshing his evening hay. I didn't have the heart to pull him away so no new hair art.

April 21st and by popular demand...

An octopus


Dusty isn't anywhere near done providing the media, though:


April 20th, and I had nothing.

But Dusty had plenty of hair to donate... so I went with Yeti:


April 13th. Yes, another horse. This one is Tico

I was trying to convey his "tail in the air neener neener you can't catch me" persona. This is still Dusty's hair - Tico sheds about enough to produce 1/2 of this front leg.



The birds liked it:





April 10th - Dusty?

In honor of his birthday (which was actually the day before) I attempted to make a Dusty Mini-me.


After a push with my foot made it look like it was moving, I decided to work with it:


And then, another tweak:


This was the day after Dusty's 30th birthday, by the way. And here's the birthday boy, getting his (belated) "cake": carrots, apples, drizzled with molasses and sprinkled with sweet feed:




Bliss.
