Day Five of no shoes

That is a picture of the Pretty Boy's hoof before Randall came to trim it but after he lost his shoe.

We are going to call this day two with no shoes but it is really more like day five in real time. Only day two if start counting from when Randall was here and trimmed our hooves which was day before yesterday around 4pm CDT. So far my horse, The Pretty Boy, is doing fine. He is really able to walk much better and doesn't seem to be having any trouble. I am going to get the house mouse to post a picture of his hoof on the 20th after he lost his shoe and then another one of what it looked like yesterday morning. Yesterday morning? Oh yes that is correct. This is Day Two after the trimming. My how time flies. Now I am going to make house mouse go back and change everywhere where I had her type the word one and you will be able to figure out where the one's were because there will now be the word 'Two'. Ok working on adding pictures now.

When the boy and I came up to the barn to eat a while ago he had been down in the pond so he had mud on his feet. He used to never go down in the pond so he never had mud on his feet. Boys are supposed to like to play in the mud but his hoof being in the shape it was in really made it hard for him to get down in there and then get back up even though there is a ramp there at the shallow end where the land just falls slowly into the pond. I am so very happy he his hoof is healing so well and I know the human girl is too because she keeps coming out here and saying 'Just looking'.

I had flies all over my nose earlier so the human girl put some fly spray on me. Yesterday the human man put fly spray on me but he doesn't know how to put it on my face. I'm glad she did that for me because I do not like flies on me where my tail can't reach to swish them off and it sure can't reach clear up to my face!

This is a holiday weekend. The holiday is Memorial Day. We will keep in our memory those who have lost their lives defending our freedom and the ones who still fight on.
