Shorty & Solon Henry
Posted By thecircusblog on October 4, 2012
My elephant Shorty’s best friend was my son Solon. If I would allow them they would play all day long and never get tired. The mud hole was their favorite spot. Solon would take off Shorty’s chains, grab the water hose and the fun started. Shorty was capable of taking off his own leg chains. He figured out a way to undo the chain clevis using one foot and his trunk finger. His back chain was even simpler he would pull up the stake. Shorty never took off….. he just wanted to visit sometimes at 3:00 am. He would come to the trailer door and gently push it …..just enough to rock the trailer to awake us.
