Love Endures
This is our original pair of lovebirds, blind Madison on the left and her boyfriend, blind Bridger, on the right. From the moment we put them together for the first time, they have been inseparable. Even now, years later, whenever we take them out to pasture we have to take them out together, side-by-side. That's because they get so upset at being separated -- for even a minute, literally! -- that they become anxious and start circling at a trot, whinnying like mad for each other, and putting "love-is-blind" into motion ... as in, walking into the fences. Which they never do, except when they're separated. So side-by-side they always are, either going out to pasture or coming back in to the corrals. And when left alone, as you see here, they're still that way!

That is so sweet. I had never read their backgrounds before, it is truly amazing how they connected instantly - maybe they knew each other in another life?! I'm so glad they found each other and that you realize they need to stay together. You guys are great!
