Apparently I'm in a hurry for the weekend. I thought Tuesday was Friday, thought Wednesday was Thursday. Wishing for the day to come doesn't make it show up any sooner. Still have to function and do what needs doing in the meantime.
On Sunday, after a nice ride at one of my favorite Parks we gave the big boys a bath. We used the new and improved eZall body wash with the new foamer/sprayer. The body wash is labeled 'green' and sometimes the 'green' formula of anything is not the best. Not so with eZall! This stuff is awesome! I am not affiliated with this product in any way, but have been using it for years. The new version is far better than the old version. And it is super-concentrated. We'll have this gallon for more than a year. While we were at it we washed the dog, too.
They all smell like flowers. After they dried we turned them out - they both immediately rolled. Hardly any dirt stuck to them and what did was easily whisked away. Their hair still feels clean, and sheds dirt. The dog is really soft and silky, too.
The minis still need their baths; we'll take care of that over the long weekend - promise!
Tom has been working with Lil Fred with the desensitizing method. Lil Fred is afraid of everything. Sprite, not so much. While we are on vacation later in June we'll be taking them to the trainers. Their barn is a busy barn and the minis being so darn cute - and clean by that time - they will have everybody wanting to touch and pet them. Immersion is the best teacher and they'll get the best of it while we are not there.
Tom is working with the plastic bag (yikers!) and the treat bag, too. Fred's getting better, every session. If he's ever going to have a job, he needs to be a little more level-headed, not head for the exit at the literal drop of a hat.
Tom mowed the entire eastern pasture - ran out of fuel twice! Sharpened the blades on the tractor and the riding mower. He also had to order bushings for the mower deck and a belt for the tractor. He had changed the oil in all of the mowers (3). Farming is not for sissies!
We also are being invaded by the Chinese Stink Bugs. He vacuums them from the windows every single evening when we get home. These things are awful and because they are non-native they have no natural predator on this side of the world. They get into everything, in places you wouldn't think they would fit and are hard to get out of those tight places.
