Mischief Gone Mad 8/5


Filly is growing up in little ways. Her personality is blossoming & she's gaining self-confidence. At feeding time she was caught pinning her ears at Blondi. Not only did she pin her ears, she chased Blondi away from her hay. Has she been around Mommy Dearest too long? LOL It's really good seeing her have some gumption. Grey Girl no longer bosses her around either. GG is now quite content to follow Filly everywhere.
Grey Girl is so full of mischief. She & Filly ran around & finally stopped in the shelter. When Mommy Dearest called, GG called but didn't come out. MD called louder & still GG wouldn't come out of hiding. When she answered MD it sounded as if she was saying "I don't have to, so there!". It was really quite funny to watch her flip her nose in the air when she answered. Finally MD left her hay & went looking for her errant filly. Just as she got to the shelter, Filly & GG sprinted out with tails flying. Such bratty little girls having fun.
A friend stopped by & was quite impressed with Filly's progress. He hadn't seen her in the 2 weeks since she's been splint & wrap free. He was amazed to see that her legs are normal & that she's finally using them without the uncoordination. Filly really enjoyed the scratching session, stretching her neck over his shoulder & making funny faces because it felt so good. It's fun having people see Filly now that she's well, especially people who have been watching her since birth. They can share in the joy of her success.
