Description


--------
There's no doubt in my mind that these two best friends were agreeing on something of vital importance. Both were unaware that my camera was pointing their way...I had been busy with the cows in the moment before.
-------
This will be an "ANIMALS" entry--only because Skipper is the larger of the two!
