Three Against One

Long weekends are always fun. There's one more day to work around the ranch & play with the fillies. Work & play is exactly what CMK did over the Labor Day weekend.

On Saturday Blondi got her 2nd WNV vaccination. Filly turned 4 months old on Sun so she got her first WNV vaccination. Both were so good for their shots. Thank you DW for stopping by & helping. It's so much easier to have 2 sets of hands when working with babies. It seems so long ago that it was May & Filly was born. All those days of doctoring, wrapping & splinting are fading memories. The emotion roller coaster sits idle & hopefully it won't be turned back on anytime soon. Filly has finally found her legs & she loves to use them, leading the fillies in their games. Grandpa enjoys seeing them running through his property, making laps around his house. He's mighty proud of "his" fillies, especially Filly.

Sunday was a work day with fencing needing to be done. Once the fence was rolled out on the ground, here came Filly & Blondi to help. Filly thought she'd keep the fence from rolling back into a ball by standing on it. The only problem was that CMK was trying to lift it up against the posts. Shooing & shishing had no effect as Filly did her job, holding that fence in place. Blondi grew tired of being a fence weight so she & Grey Girl proceeded to pull the tools out of the wagon. Pliers went over there, fence clips went over there, & the staples went all over the ground. A job that should have taken an hour stretched into almost 3 hours. With employees like Blondi, Filly, & Grey Girl, CMK doesn't need any more help! Once the fence was standing & being clipped, CMK became the object of play. All 3 fillies had fun trying to pull CMK's hair & clothes. As soon as one was shooed away, another would attack. Three against one really isn't fair. Three against one might not be fair, but it sure is fun! These 3 fillies sure have brightened up the ranch. But it's a good thing the next long weekend isn't for a while. Working among 3 fillies is tiring & it takes a long time to recuperate.
