I've been away for a minute or two and I apologize for leaving y'all high and dry. One of my neighbors and a dear friend is having her house remodeled and I've been over there helping quite a bit.
In the couple weeks that I've been neglecting you all, I've acquired a few more critters. One of my friends from the lodge told me about someone who's pet rabbits had babies and about the difficulty they've had finding homes for all of them. They had 3 left and had given up finding a place for them and were ready to turn them loose. She asked me if I'd consider taking them to save them. She asked because she knows I'm a sucker and wouldn't tell her no!
I'm told they're a male and two females. I'm calling them Spats, Maybelline and Dot. (Pics attached of the latter two.)
I have another friend who rescues and she contacted me almost two weeks ago about some horses she had that needed new homes. I asked her to send me pictures and information along with asking prices and told her I'd share them with suitable folks. When I saw them I had a moment. You know the kind, when you see something and you want it instantly even though you have no need of it. So I impulsively responded that I'd be interested in the paint colt but not for that price. She immediately answered and said that for me, he'd be free! Well! Twist my arm why don't you?! Now I HAVE to take him!
He's almost 10 months old now, a purebred but unregistered Paint. She said he was completely unhandled and still intact. When I went to pick him up he certainly played the part of a wild child and there was no touching allowed. After having him home for only a few days and with minimal effort, he's letting me touch him all over. Even all the sensitive areas like his belly, lower legs, head and ears. I'm finding that he's a thinker, not a reactor and I'm going to have a lot of fun working with him! He came with a name and I've never been one to change them. So... meet Winchester!
