Haven't been doing much, although John still goes to the garage and works on the cars. Courtney came to trim feet last Sunday. She had been trimming feet all day in the heat, I don't know how she does it. Anyone that works out in the heat of the day, deserve our admiration.
Gus popped a small abscess right below the coronet a few days ago. He had been really ouchy every since his last shoe reset. I thought his heels might have been taken down a little bit too much, but guess he had something else going on too. I got in touch with Tyler and he said to put some Epsom salts gel or paste on it and cover with gauze and vet wrap. I didn't know such a thing existed, and have found out that it doesn't exist in Benson. But the World Wide Web comes to the rescue again. Just takes time.
I have no idea where Linda found this picture, but it sure is cute. She said Lynn wants to make it for one of the donkeys. Not sure it would be a big hit with any of them..........!! LOL
Lynn and Linda are burro pack racing this Sunday at Fairplay, CO. It's the 70th anniversary celebration of burro races. To keep something as chaotic as burro racing going for that long says something about how much fun it is.
Fairplay is the 1st leg of the Triple Crown, which I think is like the World Series in baseball. Next week will be Leadville and the next week Buena Vista. Besides only having a week between each race, they are all long races, between 13 and 29 miles long, hopefully everyone will be a tip top shape.
They have been trying to get boots for the tender footed Arizona boys. They are finding out measuring for shoes is not that easy. They got a pair of boots for Justin and they were too small for him, but not big enough for Loki. They found some called Cute Little Boots made for minis and are working with a farrier that is involved with the burro racing, so hopefully they'll get it all figured out before racing season is over.
I'm suppose to race this Saturday, weatherman is forecasting 20-40% chance of rain, depending on which channel you watch. It's been a month since the Hornet Class raced, hope I remember what I'm suppose to do.........!! LOL
Sharing the neighbor's dog can be worrisome. Roxy didn't come over to get fed twice a day or to lay in the air conditioned feed room for 2 days. We were beginning to think something had happened to her, when she showed up for breakfast yesterday morning, rested up in the feed room all day. Now we haven't seen her all day today. She came in covered with dried mud, so I assume she had been down to the rancher's swamp area. Wouldn't think it would be interesting enough to spend 2 days there, but maybe so.
