Pedikyrloxi




Det er ikke stort som skal gjøres, men småjusteringer måtte til. Biloxi sto pent helt til Udo løftet på en hov. Da ble det steiling, fjas og generell dustemikkeladferd. Men når jeg kom med mine magiske kløfingre sto han som en prest. Ingen tvil om at berøring generelt er veldig viktig og beroligende for Biloxi, og at den "innprogrammerte" stå stille med foten opp og jeg klør-greia fortsatt funker. Katrin tok bilder mens Jochen "overvåket" og oversatte.

There wasn't much that needed doing, but little adjustments can be important. Biloxi stood perfectly until the farrier lifted his leg. Then there was rearing, drama and general acting out until I brought my magic scratching-fingers out. As long as I was touching and scratching he stood like a champ, and there's no doubt that he finds touching soothing and calming, and also still remembers that we trained for him to stand with his feet up when I scratched. Katrin took the photos while the vet translated and kept an eye on it all.
