Haha. Wallerin right at the gate Nice.

* He made it impossible to open the gate, not to mention he just fell asleep there for the night!

 

[tortadise]

LOL. Thats funny. Yeah uhhh I am going to sleep RIGHT here. Go ahead....c' mon...try and move me.

 

[wellington]

That is funny. Is there a reason you made the gate open in instead of out? Or was it an oops, never thought they'd plant themselves in front of it He does look very sweet sleeping though

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

That is funny. Is there a reason you made the gate open in instead of out?

* Great observation! Yes, because when they push up against the gate they would just completely over power the latching devices forcing it open. I originally had two latching devices and they were no match for the males. With the heavy duty wooded stoppers in place they can not over power them.

 

[wellington]

That's what I kinda figured. They probably learned where the gate was first thing, little (big) buggers

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Have you ever measured the size around of one of the males legs?

* 22"

* Alfa, Cowboy, and Homer. Right, Sampson is not in the picture.

Damn. I knew it. After the initial second look I just knew that could of been and is alpha on the left. The elevated vertebral scute always throws me on those two. They are very similar looking in the photos. Head on I can tell no problem. Alpha seems to have a very pronounced roundness to him on the facial shots of him. Great photo as always Greg.
