| Well, what can I say about little Greta other than she is SO adorable! She is inquisitive, kind of eye and face and is now growing teeth of course.…LOL. She is so thick, compact, wonderfully conformed and yet moves like she is training to be a barel racer in circles around her grazing mum.… Her coat is still baby thick and wavy like my Cornish Rex cats almost and her mane and tail beautifully blonde. She has a beatuiful shape to her neck back and butt and a crease that is to die for in her little apple butt. She picks up her feet when asked, though still getting her whole balance thing down pat and loves her body curry combed and touched, including her face. I slipped the halter on the other night and she was quite intrigued with it! I also, um…haltered her butt! lol…actually I was letting it sit on her back and lay across her withers and butt to get her used to things of that nature flopping against her or random objects sitting on her. She is quite the flirt sometimes, she wants to play but batts her eyes at you and skip steps away…and heaven forbid you ignore her! When Heather, my vet, and I were talking she practically raided her vet tote and any other foreign object in the stall to get attention! The other night, the boys were chatting directly in front of the stall with the door open as I was undoing and rebraiding Sorcha mane — which takes about a good half hour just in up/down time — and Greta kept toying innocently with them in peaking out of the stall. She finally decided to just walk by and make a go for it and took a stroll down the aisle of the barn by herself…the boys went after her, and Sorcha was bloody brilliant! She didn’t charge past me as I told her to Ho and call her baby, which she of course was doing as she turned a few circles in her stall waiting. Greta, smart cookie she is, took a walk right back to mum just as casually. lol. Sorcha is wonderful with her — just enough parenting, but not completely overprotective. She’s very aware of where little Greta is, but is ok where her dashing and darting about as long as she can see, smell and hear her. And last night, as I worked on Sorcha’s legs again, mischeivious Great thought it would be funny to squirt mom’s milk at me…so much for worring about Sorcha’s milk production! If the weather holds out and I have a little help, we are going to try the wonder ability that is the wash rack this weekend and give Sorcha a good bath and baby and spritz or two, though she’s keeping herself pretty clean as a whistle just yet, thank goodness! She has all the style and poise of a princess, but so far none of the brattiness…I’m sure *that* will change when she hits the terrible terror age though! Can’t be *that* lucky she’ll be a Grace Kelly or Princess Di forever! I’m telling you…she picked her name and told it to me as it was the furthest thing from what I was ruminating on before her birth and singing to momma’s belly about brewing me up a silver dapple filly (no joke) lol…and she’s living up to the poise and beauty that is her namesake and the wonderful ladies of that era. *sigh*. Happiness. |
