The Tease! (4 shots - See comment No 1) .......................................11/52

            Benny and Malibu. These pair belong to my neighbour Paddy (or is it the other way round?) who has been telling me for a long time now about a game that Benny (The Donkey) plays with Malibu regularly and today when I went around to visit, Benny was good enough to show me his game. First he gets the stick from a corner of the paddock (where he keeps it) and then proceeds to tease Malibu with it by offering it to him and when Malibu tries to take it Benny pulls it away ( I'm sure he is sniggering when he's doing this!). This goes on for a couple of minutes and then Malibu gets a bit cheesed off and gives Benny a nip in the throat (gentle enough) causing Benny to drop the stick. Benny then picks up the stick and offers it to Malibu (as a peace offering) who does not want anything to do with it at this stage and as you can see below has got an "I don't want to play anymore" look on him. Eventually they make it up and are best mates again. The sequence took a few minutes but I had a good laugh while watching it and these shots below don't really do it justice!
