I’m still working on getting the horses trained to nod their heads for “I do.” I was trying to teach them the “Paw once for yes, twice for no” routine, but Nicky kept pawing every time I stopped scratching his belly. The cats don’t care about the ceremony, as long as there’s tuna at the reception. ---
