Oops....with a name like Elvis she should have known he was a love em and leave em kind of guy! :P

Glad they got to visit........hopefully we can share their visit when they post some pics.

Elvis' kiss was one of several I received between all of the babies I got to meet today.

Stacey and I had a great time and it was awesome meeting Duke. If I wasn't so brain dead, I would post pics, but I am still on EST and as a result, only slept for three hours last night. I will post pics as soon as I sort through them but it won't be tonight.

G - Your farm is lovely and your babies are great even with the kiss from Elvis.

Desilu - Sammy looks great and I would have preferred his type of kiss.

Desilu, Sammy is lovely & looks great! You really should show him on the line next year! :yes: :clap: I am glad you are surviving handwalking & he's behaving.

Clearound & I had a great time today. Duke has gotten so big. I have not seen him since he was 5 days old & he is now 13 weeks - big change & an absolutely lovely boy. :woot:

All of the other babies are growing like weeds. I met a few of them that I had not yet had a chance to meet which was nice.

I am going to crash as well - I also have not slept much the last 3 days & it's definitely caught up with me. Posted Image

Thanks so much for asking. Sammy is behaving very well. We may have created a monster......now he's in a hurry to get back to his stall for scritches and carrots. :brickwall: Who knew he would prefer that to being outside!

So- no more treats when we are done............and only 1 more week to go. We start gradually reducing the time his leg is wrapped starting on Friday.....He'll be out in a small paddock before we know it.

But is Clearound OK? I understand Elvis was a little too glad to see her. How was the visit with Duke?????? I hope you guys had a wonderful visit. I'm sure something must have gone wrong with both cameras because we do not have any pictures of your big adventures. Hopefully the Duke was everything she was hoping he would be and she is planning on how to get him home as we speak.

Tonight was the LAST of the handwalking!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Sammy has learned to lead, halt and stand in the 2 weeks we've been leading him.

He is being weaned off the wraps and now we only wrap him at night. There is a tiny bit of puffiness that goes away with the walking so I think being able to walk around will really help him now.

Tomorrow - he will be moved to a stall with a small attached paddock for his next recovery phase.......3 weeks to go for that. Now I get to walk him for fun and not for therapy! :clap: :one: :clap:

Desilu - Congrats on Sammy's almost full recovery. Sounds like he has handled like a champ.

Did you see the list of hotels I posted for you on my Duke thread. I sure hope that you will come to Devon. :clap: :clap:

OK - it's official, Sammy is a couch potato. He bucked once in his stall when my BO moved him and then found breakfast. He has not been seen at a pace faster than a walk ever since. I think it's a very nice thing to have a small paddock attached to his stall, he can go in or out as he wants, not get up a full head of steam, and going outside is not such a big deal. The walking will be very good for his leg. And I actually got to relax and hand graze him tonight instead of purposely walking for 15 minutes.

I did see your hotel list, thank you so much. I'll make some calls soon to see if any of them still have rooms....(I guess I'd better recheck the dates first! ;) ) I sure hope we can be there.....should be quite a cast of characters. Is the California contingent planning a field trip too?

Well, I think we're over the worst of it. Thanks for all the handholding.
