Snow started this morning. Coldest weather we've had in a year is blowing down from Canada now. We were able to trim the feet of four sheep during a break in the rain yesterday. The Premier 1 Deck Chair worked as advertised. Bob was able to back the sheep up to it and flip them in as they destabilized. There they reclined comfortably while I nipped away at their feet. No kicking and struggling sheep or straining your back trying to tip them the way sheep experts or younger people so easily do. I was hoping to get pictures but we were working fast and it's a soggy world out there. Another advantage of the chair is being able to inspect the undersides of the animal. I found Gimpy has a bit of pizzle or sheath rot so today I gave him a targeted cleaning with dilute hydrogen peroxide and applied antibiotic ointment. I'll do that every day until I'm off to surgery and hope it's cleared up by then. Boots will have to wait for better weather for his turn in The Chair.
