9. Thanks for the pics, Miss Honeychurch!
It was fun meeting a US-DUer, and very good to meet you again! And your pictures are good as always!

Not your fault that I'm so fat now *sucks belly and double chin in and sighs inaudibly* :) Time to get that hair bleached again, too. Ah well.

I suggest next time we'll meet at the old water works, hm? Of course I'm mainly thinking of your taking pictures :evilgrin: After all those months of hard labour I want the world to know! ;)

I hope kagehima enjoyed her stay in Germany!

You three look great, and like you're having a wonderful time!

Isn't it wonderful that you can have so much fun? I mean, we are all such progressive people that it feels as though we've known one another a long time even when we haven't!

34. Well yes, Doni is much better if not good, and Ti is healthy and
lively as always! *knocks on wood* Both are beginning to take off their sweaters; Ti won't let his go totally till May as always, but within minutes I got two handfuls of hair out of Doni. The sweetie always tries to reach me when I do this so he can do me in kind; has given me some lovely back massages!

And how is your Cotton baby?

36. I'm glad Doni and Ti are doing well. Cotton has a bit of pain in her rump
She seems to have slighty hyper-extended her hindquarters when playing or kicking or generally thrashing about during those midnight pasture parties. She has a sore right hip which has caused her to be stiff in her left rear leg. The equine chiropractor examined her and gave her some adjustments. He showed me exercises that Cotton must do each day in order to stretch out her poll, neck, rear legs and pelvis. Her incentive to stretch her neck is a carrot. She has turned into a carrot monstor! She'll be fine after a few weeks of stretching and exercises.

Isn't it wonderful when your horse grooms and massages you! Cotton nibbles me on ocassion when I scatch her chest (her favorite spot.) She is shedding fur too! I'm getting handfuls of hair as well!
:hi:

37. Glad to hear it's nothing serious! Stiffness in the legs always scares me
Equine chiropractor! Compared to you I live in the middle ages here. In France they have a lot of them, here there are some -I've read about them *g* but there certainly is none in my area.

Streching is certainly good, does us a world of good, too, doesn't it? And with a carrot I could get ours to dance and sing any old day ;) Better yet are menthol sweets. Give them a cough BONBON and they'll do ANYTHING. Hold it between forefinger and thumb - nobody will see it - and show the big circus act: Horses follow you left and right and turnabout and backwards and forwards as if pulled by magig strings ;)

Cross my fingers that Cotton will be well soon!

:hi:
