Here's an early March photo of Violet with her heavy goofy bell boots. She was recovering from her owie. I am writing this entry on May 2nd, and I am pleased to report that her coronary band owie is not only better, but that some of the proud flesh peeled away and I was able to remove it myself. She's had a successful heal of that problem! And I got rid of those wretched boots. Now she's just wearing boots on her front and they are the very soft gentle kind with velcro. We are much happier about our whole beautiful thoroughbred situation!
