Took Mocha & Tucker to the vet this morning to get their blood tests & health certificates. As soon as the results for the Coggins test gets back, we'll make arrangements to haul them to their new home. Tucker is 9 months old today & we sure are going to miss him. No matter what he's doing, he always comes up to the fence to greet you, if you are in the neighborhood. Before this morning I had never seen him kick. But he did NOT appreciate having his temperature taken & gave one of the "frustrated baby" kicks they do when they can't control what's going on. Ruger is about 1 1/2 years old & he still does it.
Buddy Brat got a complete blood work-up for Thyroid & also Glucose & Insulin. I know he is insulin resistant, want to find out how much. Poor little guy has always had a weight problem & he loves to eat.
In the "musical" pen dance, he ended up without a pen, & Honcho & BlackJack are sharing a pen with the hay bunk down the middle. We dump their hay into the bunk & they can both eat from their respective sides. Well, they would be able to except BJ has decide Honcho doesn't need to eat. He makes ugly faces at Honcho & Honcho respects BJ's space, although their space is separated by the bunk.......Sigh........!! I guess Honcho's run-in's with Boaz have made a believer out of him.
Buddy hates not having a pen, so we tried putting a corral panel across the side of the feed room to give him a feeling of being in a pen. Not good enough, so John is out in the heat of the day, building another pen for Honcho, so he doesn't have to put up with "nasty" BJ. BJ so loves to have someone that actually takes him serious. And he's going to put up a "real" pen for Buddy, so he will be comfortable in "his" space.
This is Simmons on the left & Pancho on the right. They came in yesterday morning & have already met everyone thru the corral panels. We'll keep them in for a couple of days to get acclimated without having everyone in their face at one time. Boaz looked them over pretty good last night, daring them to challenge his authority I guess. They just kind of looked at him like, " whatever", so I don't think there will be any fireworks like there was with Honcho. Honcho by the way has been staying out of Boaz's space & everything is nice & quiet.
Jenny of course came by & did her "slut" walk for them last night. Poor little Pancho got so excited he jumped on Simmons. I don't think Simmons appreciated the experience, he seemed to think he should be the guy. Jenny meets & greets every guy that comes on the property & always has. She's still got Buddy's attention, he loves to follow her around.
