A bit more swollen and painful, Cody was a little reluctant to trot this morning when Marissa took him out. Nicole took over when Marissa had to leave for an appointment and by that time Cody was full on shivering! At that point Nicole comforted him and we decided to put him back in the stall and give him some pain meds. It was then remembered that there was a foal blanket in the feed room so that was pulled out and put on him. He didn't mind it too much and was much more comfortable later. I turned him out into the roundpen later that morning and he had a good snooze in the sunshine and was very fascinated with the dogs a couple of houses down; he spent a good amount of time just staring at them.
He was quite vocal today, breaking out with some fits of braying, and I like to think he was wishing Nicole a happy birthday and thanking her for helping him! Speaking of birthdays, I guess I need to pick some dates for them, since I have no idea when they were all born. I have an idea of how old they are so I'll have to figure it out from there. A lot of the horse industry goes by a January 1st birthday but I like each of them to have their own day!

Later that day Cody was put out in one of the outside paddocks in hopes he will move around more and be more comfortable. He was quite enjoying the bits of grass growing in amongst the weird green weeds (still don't know what they are but at least they don't hurt the horses/donkeys!). He looked so little compared to the big old trees...
