Vet Check

 Jeremiah has a little rash on his shoulders and neck from either a skin condition developing, or he was irritation from flies enough to rub some hair off.  There are only two small patches, but since our vet was out anyway, she looked him over.  He has not interacted with anyone but me and our son, John.  My husband hasn't even petted either burro, yet.  JJ was a little stressed, but, overall, he accepted the vet and her topical medicines.  Marty rooted him on from their shared paddock.  

After evening chores, we noticed that Marty wasn't letting JJ into the stall.  The doorway is narrow enough that he can keep him out.  Another problem to solve.

Marty was very good today.  I put his halter on, gave him a treat, and then removed his halter several times easily.  JJ is also easy to catch.  That was the last obstacle to moving them into their permanent paddock with the twelve foot entrance to the stall.  This will prevent Marty from keeping JJ out.  

The move was easy for JJ because he's regularly tied in the aisle, but Marty did stop to look around.  Their new paddock is next to the road.  We watched them to make sure the occasional passing car wasn't bothering them.  They stood on either side of their feeder just munching away.  

It just began to rain pretty hard outside and we expect a decent temperature drop tonight.  It's nice to know they have both shelter that they can share.
