Theo is by far the most playful guy on the property right now, the perfect storm of a growing, goofy gelding. When he’s not napping (which is frequently) he is trying to engage one of his herdmates in a bit of roughhousing or a game of chase. Otherwise, he is finding something to get his mouth around — grain pans, fly masks left too close to the fence line, fallen sticks. You name it, Theo has repurposed it. And when there’s an actual toy around? It might as well be Christmas morning.
When first given a big red ball, Theo found endless delight in merely swinging it around. But then this little hooligan realized he could weaponize said ball and use it to increase his presence tenfold. Not too much of a change when encountering Artie, who is usually fairly quick to get out of Theo’s way, but Owen, the leader of their pack, was a bit more reluctant to be moved around. Still, he who has the ball moves the feet it seems, and for a glorious few minutes, Theo was on top of the world. Or his world, anyway. He seemed to know it too, swinging his prize with abandon, running his pals around with glee. But once the ball got dropped and the teeth came out, Owen was quick to reestablish dominance.
Sweet, silly Theo! We love this boy and his antics.
