Hay in the Caddy and the Poo Fairy

The morning started off with putting a bale of hay in my Grandpa's Cadillac wagon (don't worry, it was on a tarp!)  Due to my current condition my friend Nicole was again kind enough to come by and put it in the car so I could take it to Cody at work.  He was feeling much better this morning - his incisions look good with a bit of swelling and he was much brighter.  He was also much friendlier and seemed to enjoy some company when we went in to check on him, feed him, and give him his medicine (which he took like a champ!). 

We had a couple of horses come to the clinic today for routine appointments and he quickly let them know he was there by calling out to them.  One horse handled it like a champ while the other was pretty spooky.  Cody got to come out of the stall this afternoon when my coworker Marissa put him in the round pen for his daily, required exercise.  I didn't have a chance to take a picture as I was in a meeting but I peeked out and it was priceless!  She later informed me that he knows how to lunge (go around in a circle at a steady gait); it makes me wonder what kind of life he had before he came to me...  I'll keep you posted on how he does.  I expect to bring him home on Friday so we will see if he has calmed down at all around the ladies or if he needs to be banished to a different spot on the farm for a while. 

Marissa followed me home this afternoon to help me out by cleaning the paddocks - I probably could have picked them myself but there was no way I would have been able to move the cans of poo with a bum leg.  Frida and Vida were quite interested in visiting with her as well as watching as she picked up their piles.  They weren't totally sure what to make of it....  While Marissa was picking the paddocks I noticed that Vida was being a rogue pooper and going in a completely new spot while Frida went over and pooed on a preexisting pile.  That Vida, I think she is a bit of a trouble maker!

Marissa then got to feed them some treats and, of course, made some lifelong friends.  They are definitely beggars - especially Frida!
