January 10, 2019 by Anna

Arms folded, eyes bright. This is how Negra relaxes and takes in the world around her:

    God bless her, she had about 35 years to find that meditative pose…:(
    I was thinking of this the other day………Burrito’s tic is his stomping foot, Annie rocks (or used to), Foxie nods, and Neggie has this. I was thinking that Missy, Jamie, and Jody don’t really seem to have any nervous tics.

    Dear Negra, have I told you lately that I love you……. I love you.

    I bet she sat like that for 12-24 looking at steel walls. So glad she has all that beautifule property to look at. Loved the last photo.

    Negra looks so serene in her royal pose. I can’t blame her for admiring the wonderful scenery of the west coast. Your property there is lovely. Blessings to Negra.

    I just love her.

    I concur with all of the above. Anytime I see a photograph or a video of Negra out in her pasture, with
    or without making her signature pose, it makes for a little victory. She deserves to look over the foliage
    of Young’s Hill, up to the Cascade mountains and down to the Yakima valley below; she is the Queen of
    all which she surveys.

    She often looks a bit sad to me, but maybe it’s a blend of the burden she carried for so long and wisdom that she’s attained. She’s so beautiful and I feel her heart! Love and hugs to you all…

    She is so beautiful!
