Nyla’s been with us nearly 7 weeks. When she’s not in my lap or on my bed, she is sunbathing, guarding the house, and hunting in the front woods. Every so often, I invite her inside, but she politely refuses.
She is uninterested in following cars (unless I’m in one), but expects to accompany the quad where ever it goes; no matter who is driving it. She understands that she is to remain in the kneewell of the quad when we drive up to get the mail on our busy highway.
As for the quad when outback, she flies on and off it while it’s in motion. Nyla exudes life, health and enthusiasm.
Nyla has enjoyed hunting and exploring while Jocelyn and I have been restoring the miles of electric fencing on our farm. There’s a price to pay — the burrs and leaves that stick to her curly hair — what a mess, but oh so worth it. Her pain tolerance is extremely high. We are very careful – do our best to be gentle – when pulling out the burrs. She is totally adorable when she gets a burr on one of her front feet, she holds the foot out straight with a look of disgust, asking us to remove it.
Yesterday, Nyla allowed Joey to touch her, nose to nose. She is getting much more comfortable with the horses.
