We had a little calf live with us from February to the last week of April. During one of the last weeks of calving season, we had a resident in the vet barn. He eventually got the number 8160.
They were pretty good friends. She never really touched him…but they had good talks.
She kept her hair in calf ears all during calving season and a few weeks after. Every. Single. Day.
She was constantly worried about them. She would check them every few minutes and then declare “My ears are still in!” She would cry and want them fixed if she didn’t find them exactly how she wanted them.
Then…one day at nap time…she took them out. She hasn’t wanted them back in since.
That next day she wanted a pony tail. She was a pony/horse.
A pony that could climb working panels no less.
Now, for the past few days she’s a full time Minnierella.
Minnierella is a combination of Cinderella and Minnie Mouse. She didn’t come up with it all by herself. There was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode of where Minnie dreams she’s a Minnierella and meets her Mickey Prince. She loses her glass slipper and everything.
She can wear her crown and tutu to different places, but the slippers (glass slippers most of the time) have to stay inside. Our Mickey Prince comes home each night, finds her lost glass slipper and dances in her princess castle. She walks around and with a small voice will say “Here’s my lovely card” or “I’m soo pretty” and my favorite “Come dance at the ball, my prince!”.
(Mickey Prince…with his stethoscope, hat and little helper.)
Now…she’s worried about her crown staying on.
We’ll see what she is next week.
