Not Again!

The farrier was supposed to come today....guess who is lame?  This is the third year in a row.  9/23...7/24....and today!  Damn!  After I finished the stalls I brought Rebel in and soaked his foot for over half an hour.  He fell asleep and did not move an inch.  So much for having their feet done.

He had a royal Spa Day and was groomed the entire time.  I got so much hair off his legs!  That boot works a lot better than putting his foot in a bucket.

Buddy was very patient, and he got groomed too.

Last summer I got these boots for Rebel and never used them.  Figured I would give one a try today and getting it on was a real pain.  After I got his foot situated I could not get the zipper all the way up. 

Ended up putting a velcroed over reach boot over the top and he kept it on all day....moved fairly well  and had 1 gram of bute this morning.  Is this an abscess?  A bruise on his thin soles? Can't believe what it is going to take to get him through this.....AGAIN!

Gary had to have a couple things done by the dermatologist this morning and got back home around 1:30.  Little Wonder and I had some quiet time.

So did Seymour and Sidney.  Very rare that they are this close together.

I made a quick trip to Wegmans (diapers for Rebel), Country Max (more sole pack) and some bread at Aldi's.

Around 3:30 I went out to check on Rebel and he was moving better than I expected.

Par boiled a lot of chicken...prepared some for Wonder, Sid and Seymour...then put the rest in the freezer.  Also topped off a big salad with some of it.  That was our whole dinner and it was delicious.

Chores at 7:45.  The entire day was full of sunshine.

That sunset glow was back again.

Night all.
