A well known English phrase or saying – “Good things come to those who wait”.
“I see you Monster. I know what you want (our Sunday lunch) and I think not. Make good choices today.”
And Monster was a good boy and he didn’t jump onto the counter to steal our lunch. Nope. He wanted to, but he thought better of it and didn’t. It was a mental struggle but Monster abstained from thievery and chose a righteous path instead.
So, as his reward, I gave Monster the cooking dish I roasted the chicken in and he was very happy.
Pepper arrived (she had been in the garden with OH picking bluebells) and Monster even shared his bounty, which I think was very generous of him and, yes, once the chicken was carved they all got a bit, including Ted who got the big carving dish with all the bits as he had previously missed out. He’s gone to bed.
Talking of being nice ….
I put the breakfast buckets down knowing that no one would steal each other’s. I don’t know many horses who will all stand close together and eat their own bucket without drifting over to steal their neighbour’s.
Though, I will admit, I did move Haakon’s a bit further back as I knew he might be less generous.
As Iacs’ bucket has antibiotics and painkillers, Haakon didn’t need those so it can’t be a free-for-all at the moment. Note the food tide line on Bibble’s nose and can you see his donkey wither cross stripe? It only is very apparent in summer and means it is official, Bibble is a donkey!
