You get the week off! And you get the week off! Everybody gets the week off!
On Tuesday morning, Milton took several horrible, funky, hoppy steps. We were worried. He walked out of it quickly and later thundered into breakfast. We were not too worried.
Start treating for abscess. [Milton’s Silver Slipper]
Wednesday & Thursday mornings, Milton grazed while Rodney & I walked.
On Friday morning, Milton said, ‘I walk’ and stomped off after Rodney instead of grazing. Seriously. To the point of leading the parade without benefit of human. ‘This is what we do. We walk.’
Okay then.
Resumed regular walks. No afternoon sessions. Give Milton’s foot time to heal, reabsorb the abscess, get over whatever is the issue. More time is seldom the wrong answer. Rodney got time off because … shrug.
Bottom line. Walks. No work with tack.
Onwards!

Milton do be clear .

I had a boss like that once. After you explained the situation, what was doable and what was not, he would say “What I want…”Understand your needs and be clear in expressing them. Words to live by!

It’s a barbarity that clarity is a rarity. (Can anyone name the binge watch source of that?)
Kids! I tell ya — ya can’t win for losing. Glad Milton’s hoof is doing well. MM
Thank you.
