Rusty's owner came out today to take him to another barn. His arthritis is getting pretty bad and she wants to keep him indoors more and also closer to where she lives. So out in the cold we went to load him in the trailer. Cody was eating with Rusty when I got there. They've been hanging out together a lot, so I think that Cody will be a little sad to have Rusty gone. Rusty's owner put some polo wraps on his legs to provide some protection while in the trailer. Poor Rusty hasn't worn wraps in a while so he was high steppin' it for a while, it was pretty cute. And good ole Rusty loaded into the trailer like an expert. He was sad to go and kept calling to the herd, and the herd all lined up at the fence and called back. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the herd dynamics now. Rusty was kind of a protector of Beau. Hopefully someone will step up and take over that job. I think maybe Cody would be the next best canidate. Someone needs to keep Axel from chasing Beau around all the time.
And just for fun, I'm going to start calling Axel, "Sugar Lips" from now on.
