Last day of September, a real 'Fall' feeling day. Atia had another encounter with Lilly, in the upper-paddock, yesterday.  A a consequence,  Atia is limping from the right-rear rather much. I did not observe the tussle. I did see Bagari try to engage Atia three days ago, in the upper paddock.  I had Zakat in there with me. Atia stood the perfect Neutral-Lady and Bagari tried a few times to get Atia to 'submit'. Titus is mean to both Atia and Bagari, in the paddock. Both have dropped him, as they have done to Lilly. But now, neither seem to feel confident enough to do anything. Thus, if it rains, I have observed Bagari to stay in the rain because Titus growls at one end of the barn. Well, yesterday I decided to have Zakat protect Atia from harassment. This was the third day I had done that. Two days ago I saw Atia and Zakat galloping along at the upper fence-line. She seemed very happy to have a 'Champion' so she could make the "rounds" and not have either of the Pyrs hassle her. Not-so-much yesterday. Apparently Lilly did something because she is Trashed. See her picture. So like I said, three females and none can work together. I will be switching to all-male cast as soon as I can gather some more Pyrenees rescues.

Atia poses ... again and again .. Kids love her

Atia's tough life. Saturday about 2 or 3 miles walking around park.  Then it's Belly-Rub time at Panera's for breakfast ....

Atia's private drinking-fountain at Pets-mart. As it's mid-September, pretty soon she won't be as thirsty.

Today was a day of drizzle. The first hint of Fall. Atia and Zakat are on their way to check the level of grain in the Calves "Creep Feeder".

ATIA: Ok  "Burro" , that is better. I will pretend to ignore you.  Now you may be allowed to investigate my scent.

FIIONA: Now that's a bitch! Doesn't she know I see sideways? My right ear should tell her I am investigating her already.

ATIA:  I HEARD that! I prefer you refer to me as Princess Atia and not the "B" word. Though the female of the species is the "B" word. The "B" word often gets web pages put on the "R" list. Wrongly so. But I imagine this is over your Donkey head anyway.

She's been escorting those calves,  from back at the Creep-Feeder,  to their mom's area down here. They were tagging along on our left until they saw the moms.  Then they all sprinted.

Next day and she is resting with Zakat as a devious Filly named "MiHa" pokes around in the bed of the truck.

Mary ushers Atia-of-the-Julii through at 0730 on race-day at a 5k beginning at the Ohio University Southern Campus in Ironton. It's 15 October if anyone is asking. You can tell Atia loves children. Look at Atia's eyes.

These were smaller,  so she joined them.

.....

There's the "Paw" of "Keep petting me, or else!"

A while later and they are both studying Atia's massive feet.
