Doc and I had a great afternoon together. It is fun to think back to just a few weeks ago when we couldn't even get near enough to touch him. Now I can walk right up to him from any direction and start petting him wherever I want. He has really grown to trust me in the past week, or so. It didn't take me more than a minute to get the halter on him today. He bobbed up and down a little when I tried to put the top of the halter behind his ears, but quickly settled down and allowed me to tie it.
For those of you Parelli-ites, I started playing the seven games with him. So far, we have succeeded (even if only slightly) in the "Friendly" game, "Porcupine" game, "Driving" game, "Yo-yo" game, "Circling" game, and even a tiny bit of "Squeeze" game. The only thing we are missing is "Sideways", but I am not in a hurry for that one yet. Gail says it's time to play lots of squeeze game to help trailer loading go smoothly, so that is what we are going to do tomorrow. Thanks Gail!
Wound update: I used a towel to gently rub off all of the "goo" from yesterday's application. It was really amazing! All of the scabs came off easily, and now we have a little fresh tissue peeking through. They actually looked almost clean! I re-applied the magic goo, and will repeat the process tomorrow. I am sorry, I forgot the camera today, but I promise to take photos for you tomorrow.
Thank you again for all of your love and support!
Jackie
