After his hard work prepping Lil Fred's stall, we pulled the five stall mat pieces into place after dinner last night. We used an entire cube of shavings. April was the first to go in, sniff around and then lie down. She got comfortable quickly. She smells like a hamster now. Then came Fred. We expected him to have an adverse reaction to the improvements. He's been locked out of his stall since Monday and now it's all changed around. But he didn't. He got in there and stood with (I swear!) a smile on his face. Then Sprite joined him, at the threshold she took a big mouthful of shavings, then realized it was not a food stuff. Then she walked in all the way and immediately fouled the stall in every way she could.

Now it's on to the next stall. I believe that will be Sprite's.

Veteran's Day dawned clear, cool and breezy. Not cold enough to freeze the water in the buckets, but cold enough. The breeze picked up later to a stiff wind. The leaves are flying and swirling all over the place. Some trees are already bare.

It's Friday, so let's get this party started! Well, let's get a stall prepped for the mat installation. O boy.

  1. One down and how many to go? Was it hard to trim, sure looks good. I think April thought it was her new home.

  2. Four more to go... He tried trimming it with the circular saw and it was a disaster! He's cutting it with a utility knife and that's working. Fits like a glove.
