Blessi and his Float


Blessi was under sedation for a float. Usually, I take a book and a chair and read while he is coming out of sedation. I know he is ready to go out to the pasture to eat when he walks up and starts flipping pages in my book. If he has enough motor control in his lips to flip pages then he is probably in no danger if he eats.

This time I forgot to pre-stage the chair and book. Blessi definitely looked very out of it so I thought I could sneak away and get the chair and book from my truck. Well, I stepped out of the run out shed and started to walk away. I hear rapid beat clip clop clip clop. Immediately, I rush back to find Blessi with his head in his feed box, which luckily is empty. Blessi doesn't understand "right from wrong" of course but over the years he had developed a really good sense of what makes me go "Tsk, tsk, tsk" and he should wait until I am no longer looking to do whatever.
