Is Widey a Nursing Mother?
Widey stops at the fence on the field side. As she rises for a better view, we see what may be a nipple, indicating Widey may be a nursing mother.

She stops at the side of the car and stands on her hind legs for a moment. Widey walks toward… Continue reading Widey Determined in the Garage
