What fun pictures, and of course Taggart looks as handsome as ever, and silly - I love the water ones (the trying to convince him he is NOT close to dying just because his tail got wet made me smile) so we're glad the grandfolks came to prompt you to take and share pictures with us!

By the way, that's a donkey - mules are generally smoother and bigger, as they are half horse, half donkey, so not as shaggy a coat.
