It is breeding season and various ladies from around the Peninsula have been coming to visit the gentlemen here if that is what you like to call them.
The gentlemen are all big and smelly, except for Jackie. He is little and smelly. Really you have to tie a handkerchief around your nose and mouth if you want to go anywhere near them. I avoid them like the plague. Drive-through buck service is definitely the way to go.
But when the ladies come into heat they start bawling and flagging their tails and this causes their brains to shut off. When it happened to me, I could not even remember my name. So they don't seem to notice anything amiss in the Old Spice department. Then again, at this time of year, there is no telling what may happen.
Our old friend Gracie had gone into heat, she was bawling and flagging which is the universal sign of the cerebral cortex having shut down, and she came back to visit. At first she seemed halfway inclined to meet Junior. Junior was all for it and he came thundering out like a boxcar full of dead fish.
But then Gracie got a sudden blank look and sat right down on the ground. Not really, her expression said. I don't think so.
Gracie's owner Mo worried Gracie might have broken her leg or something but no, she was just putting the kibosh on Junior. Oh well, there's no telling.
Off she went to see if she liked Jackie any better. Once again, he was all for it. Gracie headed him around the stall like a little soccer ball.
Not really, her expression said. I don't think so.
Oh well, said the farmer, there's just no telling, she can stay overnight with Cowboy and see what happens. Gracie stayed overnight and when the farmer came out in the morning she and Cowboy were sleeping in opposite corners of the stall, each pretending the other was invisible.
Not really, Gracie's expression said. I don't think so, said Cowboy's.
The farmer told Gracie's owner that it didn't seem like Grace was really in the mood, so it was probably no use staying any longer. So they came and got her.
When she got home she went and stood by the fence line, bawling and flagging her tail.
Oh well. This time of year, there's just no telling.

Maybe Gracie is more the drive- thru buck service type.
Yup, I know how it is. Last year Febe was all for it 3 times! But when we got there, nope, not in the mood, typical woman. This year we have a buck here, he's young and he's smelly. There's nothing like peeing on your face to get the girls. yuck.
I believe those gentlemen need to offer the ladies Peanuts. I'm quite sure they would have more success. Then again, there's no telling.
Perhaps Gracie isn't asking for what everyone assumes she is asking for. It is the holiday season. Have you tried taking her to the mall so she can give Santa her list?
