Martha & Ruth were named after their owners' moms, in other words, The Mother-In-Laws. I think this photograph reflects their relationship. They're an affectionate pair & love having the kind of company who has time for a good visit. They follow me around while I'm doing chores. Every so often, they gently butt which means a good rub on the back is desired.
Whats really cool is how they like my cooking which is more than I can say for my own family. Martha & Ruth are right there, watching what I put together and eagerly eat when its ready. Granted their food is plain meal & grain, I guess the combination is just what they like.
Like horses, their stall needs to be mucked down daily and shaved chips spread afterwards. Their manure is pellet-like, similar to those of rabbits, deer, and alpacas which makes for easy clean-up.
Martha & Ruth have me convinced that reincarnation is possible. They remind me of my grandmothers especially when I prepare to leave. Martha in front, Ruth is behind and both are watching, saying good-bye.
