Cost to move flight up by 2 hours -- $50; getting to see the girls before leaving town again -- priceless. Yeah, I love cheesy takeoffs on those Visa ads, so sue me. Bumping up our return from birthweek celebrations in the Keys left enough sunshine to get out and see the girls. Lily's legs are healing nicely with no new scrapes so I guess the lesson is learned.
She was pretty adamant about not letting me touch them when the wounds were fresh and sore, but last night she stood nicely and let me inspect. It's all basically big scratches and healing nicely. After a good grooming, when we went on a trail walk little Lily and I.
Lily is such a pleasure to just hang out with -- she walks nicely next to you and is interested in the scenery. She occasionally reaches over for a snuffle, but mostly just takes in the sights. Last night, the sights included deer bounding across the power line cut and that got her attention. She stood and stared -- probably thinking she'd like to be out bounding around, too. A couple of steps of prancing that abated with a gentle tug on her halter and we finished our walk.
Megan served as our spokesmodel for how to behave when your sister takes a little walk. She whinnied once and trotted the fence line a little, but didn't tear anything down or injure herself. Hope little sister took note.
