Burros are such thinkers! I watch Alan contemplating his next moves with regard to me - he wants to come closer yet he's still not convinced that it's the right thing to do. But I am patient and will wait til he takes the next step. Each day, he touches his nose to my hand a tiny bit longer than the previous day. And he usually positions himself so that George is between us as a buffer. It's just a matter of time.
Meanwhile, George stays in my pocket. Sometimes he will try to nibble on my sleeve or collar, but one stern universal "no" sound ( a la Cesar Millan) makes him stop instantly. I've hung a halter on the top rail of the corral for him to sniff and consider. He should be ready to wear it in a few days.
