On the Mend

This morning I went out to rescue Steen from the sun before it could do any damage to his new skin. It was a cool morning, but not cold. I went into the pasture armed with two feed pans and a halter.

I reached Laredo first, and gave him his snack. Then I continued down into the pasture to where Bear was. Laredo came along.

I gave Bear his snack as well, then took Steen inside. For the first time, he didn’t try to move away while I cleaned his side. And for the first time I didn’t have to clean a bunch of drainage off his leg. He’s in much better spirits as well.

We’re getting there.
