Vindy’s treat of choice is peppermints. They are the reason he comes running when he sees me and the way I motivate him to do things he doesn’t like, for example stand still in the crossties or tolerate having his girth tightened. But on this day, Lorie gave him an apple, and it made for an amusing picture.

The look of pure bliss on his face really makes me laugh.
