Heavy Rain Drops

What a night, I was sick last night with food poisoning! Well I didn't get out to see Dancer for long today.

Dancer is less hairy, the lovely summer coat is almost in. After grooming him and cleaning his feet we were pelted with rain drops. I was grooming him outside to enjoy the weather when rain swept in. Even the baby bunny took off.

Dancer came into the barn and patiently waited while I put the brushes away. We then made the dash for the paddock. By the time we arrived at the gate the drops had stopped. It really didn't down pour, but the sky had that dark look about it.

Tomorrow the vet is visiting for his spring shots and general check up. I will have to spend lots of time grooming before the vet comes as Dancer is still very dusty.

Green Grass

Today I called Dancer from the car. He headed over and was almost at the gate by the time I arrived.
It was funny when the chickens and rooster stayed on the door to the stall, right beside Dancer, while we groomed. He was even crowing and Dancer didn't care.

Much time was needed with grooming today. I oiled his feet today after cleaning them. Then he was thouroughly brushed with a dandy brush to remove mud. Then I used the brush to remove winter hair. Finally, I worked on his mane. He didn't like it as I worked on pulling it. It is looking lovely. Overall his coat is looking much better.

I spent so much time grooming, he only had a few minutes to eat the green grass in the laneway.

Heading home, I will be finishing my round rug.
I am not sure if this counts as exercise, perhaps 1/2 an hour.
