Saturday encore ~ Above the fray

Here's another encore post from the days leading up to Lucy's arrival at the 7MSN last February.

Nowadays when I'm hanging out with the herd, I can't help but picture Lucy among us. Though I plan to introduce her to the boys slowly and individually, I know it won't be long before they're all sharing the same space. Admittedly, I have never met Lucy in person, but from everything that I've learned about her and from the comment she herself left on yesterday's post (did I mention she knows how to type?), I think the herd dynamics will play out like this:

Hank, in his role as boss hoss, will claim Lucy as his own.

Hank and Lucy will be the mature, sensible pair in the pasture, 

conserving their energy for important things, like eating, 

while the inseparable George and Alan will carry on with life as they've always known it. 

I've tried to explain to all the boys about the impending arrival of their new sister,

but I don't think they fully grasp the implications.

All that George and Alan seem concerned about is whether they'll have to share their toys.
