The prince's debut

The new baby boy has finally gotten to venture outside. We had a gorgeous day today, so it was ideal for taking some photos of mama and baby outside.
Isn't he darling?
Something about him just gets to me, I do not know if it is that sweet face or his funny little tail, or how agile he is. Tonight, I snuck up on him in his stall, and he was standing parallel to the door, peeing. I could hear him, so I knew he was doing it. The very second he caught sight of me, he shot sideways toward the back of the stall so fast, it was a blur. He went so quick that he could not shut off the stream, and I almost got caught in the cross fire. Who knew babies could pee UP? He is a catty little thing, already.
Here is his funny little tail. It is always sticking straight out, or hanging over to the side, all curly like a pig tail. In fact, its end is more twisted up than the actual pig's tail is.
Getting a good head shot was not easy. This was take one. Check out his funny little lip--I think the top lip is stuck inside the bottom one. That happens with the Danes a lot.
This was almost the right shot. But he is making faces again--look at his nostril all jacked up.
We are getting closer here, but still his nose is all goofy. And his ear is pointing the wrong direction.

Maybe tomorrow. I will sure have a good time trying to get the right shot, as he so fun to shoot--I got all kinds of funny results.

I am trying to think of a name for him. Had he been born the day before, his name might have been Meradas Blue Fool....but nope, not born on April Fools Day. I am open to suggestions on this one--mamas real name is Aristagal. Her sire is Smart Aristocrat, her dam is Waltons Young Gun by Young Gun.

I want a call name that is tough sounding--I have no idea why, as he sure does not look like a bad ass, but that is what is calling to me. I considered Spike, but I am not sold on it completely. And remember, no people names.

Leave your ideas in the comments--I will know it when I see it

God, he is gorgeous. I have no idea on a name as I am not part of that world. But that tuft of mane showing between his ears? That should be part of it. Too cute!

He is adorable. Not helping with names as I am drawing a blank.

LOVING the look of the grass...very envious. We still have 2 feet of snow to melt off before we will see even brown grass.

Come on spring!!!

Two suggestions: If you watch General Hospital you know that Nicolas Cassadine is a real prince, so he could be Cassadine. or: If you watch the new show Castle- a prince lives in a Castle, so Castle.hooves
