Cuzco's Glamour Shot o' the Day

[Nanno]

Today Cuzco got to eat almost a whole bag of microwave popcorn that was only slightly burnt. The other goats got a few pieces, but Cuzco hogged all the rest for himself. He was very, very happy.

Later on in the afternoon I saw the old fella trying desperately to swing his head around to his rump and I saw a massive horse fly digging in for the feast. A couple of years ago Cuzco could have gotten it himself, but he just isn't flexible enough to reach his own back any more. I was in the middle of hitching up a horse trailer, and not wanting to leave a trailer half-hitched (this is how forgetful people like me have accidents), I hollered at Cuzco to come over and let me get it. He was only about 30 feet away, but he covered the distance pretty quick for an old guy! He screeched to a halt with his butt perfectly parked next to my slapping hand and I killed that nasty fly for him. He was grateful for the help and let me itch the spot for a few seconds to take the sting out, and then he walked off. Apparently he wasn't in the mood for lovin', but he's smart enough to know when he needs a helping hand.
