Oh, that coat looks perfect!
Stay warm, Boo, and everyone!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
I was wondering cuz not long before i seen your picture with Boo standing along side the branches/downed trees i had watched a moose farm documentary where the moose would eat the bark off the trees that the farmers had cut for themQuote:

its an hour an 30something minutes long an chalk full of information.
i was surprised to see they raise them an how friendly an smart they are. its similar to how cattle is raised but different at the sametime
also Boo is looking even more dapper in his new jacket!
an he finally grew into being able to wear a halter i see :D
Aww, thank you! And yes, he is getting accustomed to his halter - it's hard finding one that fits his head shape, but we manage!Quote:

Only Boo's head would fit in your lap, or maybe two hooves, trust me! But he'd appreciate the attention anyway!Quote:

Yeah - his coat is way too long for him, but it fits him should to tail, and fits his girth, so the extra length just has to look silly. But it keeps him warm and that's what counts. And he is still growing, so this will fit for a while!Quote:

How is your weather, Karen? I just heard on the news that we should be breaking freezing in Chicagoland over the weekend. But more wet and heavy snow on Sunday, unfortunately.
Hi, Boo the best buffalo! It's getting cold out in Chicago and I was thinking of these pictures of you in your winter coat :)
Aww, he is a teenager now, we have not yet put his winter coat on him for the season, but will be. He is being teenager-ish and behaving badly sometimes, we are going to have to get him a nose ring, as he knows he is already too big for us to try to convince him of anything if he doesn't want to. It will be interesting to take new pictures in that coat and see the difference!Quote:
