Interspecies herd dynamics

If you were with us yesterday, you know that I almost missed the pronghorns in the pasture 
because I was distracted while playing paparazzi. 

I could see one big buck and about a dozen of his girlfriends. 
George and Alan were still chasing each other nearby, which Buck must have sensed as a threat. 
He began moving his girls along...but they had different ideas. 



Pronghorn #1: That gray one is kind of cute.
Pronghorn #2: I've got my eye on that shy brown one with the unibrow.



Pronghorn #3: What's her deal? She's got two boyfriends all to herself and 12 of us have to share Buck? 
Pronghorn #4: And look at her! She's filthy. 



Pronghorn #5: She's got the strangest eating habits, too. I wonder what they see in her?



Lucy: I'm being dissed by a herd of jealous pronghorns.



Lucy: Now ask me if I care.



Pronghorn #6: She even has her own photographer. Maybe she's some kind of model.

  4. They talk....they TALK!!! I can't believe it's taken us this long to overhear a conversation!
    Funny stuff, too. :-).
    They should be invited to the next Cinco de Mayo event at the ranch - as long as they stop trash-talking sweet Lucy. :-) :-)

    1. Dis is slang for disrespect, either treating someone or talking about someone in a disrespectful manner.
