Today was a day off – sort of. We marched over hill and down dale stopping along the way to sample the bunch grass and see and what was blowing on the wind. It was really really windy. About halfway up the hill I was having doubts about the sanity of this adventure but he handled all the blowing vegetation with great aplomb and he makes a great windbreak. Initially he walked behind me stopping when I stopped and just looking around. I practically had to point out the grass and tell him it was ok to eat it. By the time we reached the road he was telling me where the likely looking delicacies were. He remained a gentleman however and always moved off when I did. It is getting much easier to clean his feet. Today he raised his front feet when I said ‘foot’ and stood still throughout the process. His back feet are almost as good. By the time the farrier is due (about a month) he should have this down.
He definitely has dinner time down. He knows the shelter is where he gets fed and the window is where the treats are delivered. Here he is patiently waiting his turn.
