To blå

Det har regnet hele natten og hele dagen, så Sioux og Biloxi hadde bare vært ute i 2 timers tid på formiddagen. Siden det så ut som om det klarnet opp littegrann timen etter at Anneli var ferdig tenkte jeg at de kunne få komme ut en time eller så mens jeg møkket og "luket" i paddocken. Tok ingen sjanser og la dekken på dem begge (Biloxi sitt hadde heldigvis rukket å tørke). Biloxi har aldri sett Sioux med dekken, så jeg var spent på responsen. Spesielt om det var greit for ham å drikke melk, og om han ville herje og dra i det slik at det kunne være et potensielt problem. Med været slik det er kan det være godt for tynnpelsede Sioux å få på seg en regnfrakk også. Uansett, Biloxi skvatt såvidt litt når jeg hev det over ryggen hennes, så snuste han litt på det og oppdaget til sin glede at det var et morsomt borrelåsfeste foran. Ligg unna, sa Sioux litt irritert, og dett var dett. Og å drikke melk? Ittno problem! Eneste nedtur var at mamsen bare ville spise, og ikke leke.

It's been puring down since last night, so MLP and Biloxi were only out for about 2 hours earlier in the day. As it looked as if it might clear up a bit in the hour after Anneli was done, I thought I'd take them out with me for an hour or so while I mucked and weeded the paddock. Didn't want to take any chances so I put turn-out rugs on them both. Biloxis was soaking when I arrived, but was dry already. As he's never seen Sioux with a rug on I was interested to see his reaction, both with regards to access to the milk, and if he'd leave it alone. He started a little when I threw the rug over her back, but that was pretty much it. He then went over to inspect it closer, and was thrilled to find some velcro in the front. Leave it, said a grumpy Siuox, and that was that. He didn't leave her alone as such, but didn't try to grab the rug a single time after that. And drinking? Not a problem! Which is great as Sioux doesn't grow much of a coat, and most probably will need protection from the rain just as much as Biloxi.
