I must share this with all of you, it is quite humorous. Did you know that Baby B will not poop in her pen? She will back up where the poop will fall to the outside of her stall or she will back up to Spirits stall and let go. It is the funniest thing to watch, she does this deliberately. She is surely a little PRINCESS..gotta Lub her though.
Spirit is all boy and I mean all boy. He is the hardest little guy to keep clean. He will roll in whatever he wants and when he wants. However you should see him on his lead rope, very well behaved. He does still give Grandpa Rob a bit of a fit when he gets his feet done, not bad but almost like a game. Still no McNuggets. JD our first baby did not drop until he was almost a year and a half. He was gelded December 13 three years ago. When this procedure was done, he went to sleep (with the aid of Dr. Henesler) and when he came to he jumped up and began wanting to eat. He never gave it a second thought. When I had Casper gelded, oh goodness poor baby looked like he had been tipping the cups for a few hours afterwards. I think the most difficult time they have with it, is my running cold water on them three times per day for a least a half hour each time. They are not thrilled with it at first, but once the water starts to chill the discomfort then they are fine. It is hard to get them cleaned up afterwards as they are not stitched so there is some bleeding and of course it runs down their back legs. That is another reason we/our vets prefer to geld in the off season of flies. It prevents the flies from giving them infections etc. Okay I have probably given you more than you wanted to hear this morning. All part of it though.
