The act was observed to be a bit awkward, but I am sure they will make several attempts.....so, let's hope one of them is successful.

- Goat Herding

Mojo's MOJO
Happily I can report that MoJo and O'Malley were seen "dating" this week. Their courtship consisted of a few games of tag, after which O'Malley teasingly called "You're it!" and MoJo willingly obliged.
