I like this little photo of Renny because he just looks like the sweetest combination of perfectly handsome and perfectly confused. He wants to trust his grandma's judgement, but is perplexed about his mama's absence!
Anyway, here we are on Wednesday, almost a full week since he was weaned. He's been a brave little soldier. He's had two full days on pasture with Ruthie. They both are battling the snot monsters. They have a new elder friend in Coke, a 11 year-old gelding on the farm brought this weekend. And he's used to his new big boy stall, but he sure would like to have a little comforting round of nursing. He tries to nurse Ruthie, this morning he tried to nurse from Coke, he's just confused!
But on another note, the veterinarian and his assistant came early this morning and gave the girls their vaccinations. In a reversal, Hailee behaved better than ever before while Violet pulled out the thoroughbred card and tried to kick the vet twice! He put the shoulder power lock on her and she responded by trying to bite me twice! What a thoroughbred! She must have overheard me talking about the Keeneland Yearling Sales and decided that she's too special and fabulous to be bothered with a group of rude people while she's breakfasting in bed, waiting to go out and fight her way to the top of her new mare herd!
Anyway, I am happy to report that Hailee's eye is doing much better and that the vet thinks that she's recovered from her weaning experience with good vigor. That's all from the horse front! I am working on the service philosophy for my Full application. I want to finish the main work for this application by tomorrow and begin the tedious work of photocopying, checking pages, hole-punching, etc!
