Mama and Junior 2.0

 I peeked out my office door and saw Lucy fixated on something.

 It was Mama 2.0. We met her a few weeks ago, along with her baby, Junior 2.0.

(If all of that makes no sense, click on the "pronghorns" label below to catch up on
last year's adventures with the first Mama and Junior.)

 Anyway, this Mama is not injured; she just seems to like hanging out here.

 She's a little shy and wary of me, as she should be,

 but she trusts the herd unequivocally. On three occasions last week, I was walking through

the pasture, only to come upon Junior napping in the tall grass –– with Mama nowhere in sight!

Hank, however, was just a few yards away. I'll swear that Mama is letting Hank babysit 

while she wanders around grazing and doing whatever else wayward unwed teenage pronghorns do
when they should be minding their children.

Judging by the little nubs that will eventually support her horns, 

I'm guessing that Mama is very young. She may not know yet that

she shouldn't be leaving her baby with a tall, handsome stranger.

 Me: Yes, I'm talking about you. Now go and find him before a coyote does.
