The farrier showed up this afternoon with his wife who works at the veterinary clinic where we take the dogs. She recognized Hattie right off the bat and told me how the techs love her and baby talk her. That dog knows how to manipulate people.They were very pleased with my pen setup and the boys were charming for the most part. Gimp and Mocha trotted right in. Stomper was a little hesitant but went in for a small bribe of sweet grains. Boots and Timmi were last, as always, and not particularly interested in taking part in this operation, but going in together sealed the deal. Dan and his wife squeezed in with them and managed to hold each steady and trim them up. Boots had a lesion in a rear foot that we treated with Betadine solution and Wonder Dust but it's hurting him and he's limping badly. Dan said it should be fine now so time will tell. The whole job took about forty minutes and Dan gave me a good discount because the sheep were calm and it was easier than expected. So it all went well and I was very proud of the boys being such gentlemen.
