Maia headed back to the barn after spending an inordinate amount of time gorging on the fresh grass across the creek in Yard 5. Bambi was in Yard 1, spending time with Mara and Rana through a fence. The other two were in Yard 2, which does not share a fence with Yard 5. When Bambi saw Maia, she headed over to see Maia. They spent around a minute greeting each other through the fence before Bambi walked away to go back to the others.
Maia seemed unperturbed and spent much of the day near Yard 1. She went swimming in the pond and grazed near the fence. We never saw Bambi go back over to Maia, but we never saw Maia call to her either.
By that evening, Maia returned across the creek in Yard 5, back to the land of heavenly grass.

December 16, 2020 at 5:17 pmIt sounds like Maia did a ‘Hey, what’s up?’ stop in, and Bambi ambled over to say, “Hi, just us hangin’ out, how ’bout you?’ Maia: Same, LOL And, they all go their own way, HA

December 16, 2020 at 5:18 pmMaia knows how important green vegetation is for a good healthy lifestyle. No wonder she takes her time walking and eating. ??
