Wet Feet, Cat Parents, and Sunshine

Sunshine everywhere today! Let’s have all the random pictures of March sunshine goodness.

Husband likes to scratch Emilie’s butt. She in turn scratches my back. Unfortunately for me, Emilie has rather huge teeth.
Micro, mum of the Murderkittenz! She’s an elusive lady but the sun made her docile enough to shoot today.
The murderkittenz’ dad is even more elusive. In part because he knows he’s not allowed around here.
The first grass is poking up. We approve of this. So we eat it.
In other news Emilie survived her first foot bath with anti-fungal shampoo today. She wasn’t entirely sure she’d live it down but in the end, treats won over anxiety.

Escape from Prison (Sort of)!

Emilie finally got to leave her box today! The next month she gets to spend the daylight hours in a 9 x 12 metre’s enclosure, far too small for her to trot or gallop or even walk much, but at least it’s outdoors. She enjoyed exploring it and then watching the splendid view out over the meadows below. More so when she found the hay net and she could stand there and munch and watch and be out, out, out.

Box Prison

We spend as much time as possible at the barn this week. Emilie is not allowed to do -anything-, but at the very least we can keep her company. She is a very bored horse. She enjoys being taken out into the sunshine to eat hay with me in the courtyard, but she leaves me in no doubt that she’d much rather we took a gallop out into freedom.

Her box is a mess because she walks around in it all day to relieve boredom. I can’t wait to be allowed to put her out so we can clean it up properly, dry it out, and start over on the bedding.

One more week. Then she’s allowed paddock time. Alone, but still, better than the dark barn all day.

All the Faces

Emilie is still prettiest princess with her hair clip. She’s also very very happy to have a box with an open half-door so she can watch what goes on, because being stuck in there 24/7 is so very dull.

Please. Do things. I want to watch you do things.
She’s too thin. I look forward to her regaining the weight she lost during her illness.
The Moon decided to pose for an artsy shot just as I was trying to get a decent picture of Emilie in her box.
Emilie is not the only box window lurker. Felina has better camouflage though!
Small walk of the evening: Saying hello to White.
Look who came to say hello, too: It’s Mikro, mum of the murderkittenz.
