Another animal update

At the end of February I was home again, for a week, since we were about to spend a week at a Veterinary clinic of our own choice (to watch and learn from working veterinary nurses and get a better understanding of the tasks a veterinary nurse performs). I chose a small Veterinary clinic not to far from home since I like that clinic and have had contact with them before. It was an awesome week and I learnt a lot! I didn't want to leave when the week was over!

Unfortunately a week passes by extremely fast and I haven't had a whole lot of time to do much more than being at the clinic and taking care of my horse. I tried to spend as much time as I could with my animals, my family and my friends but a week is really short.

Anyway, onto my little animal update.

My sweet little Fjordhorse :)

My dear Unik is doing very well, he has lost some muscles since my mother have had a lot of problems with side-effects from her new blood preassure pills. That means that she haven't been able to exercise him (or Poppes) as much as usual. But Nike is happy and healthy and loves to go out and roll in the mud so that he gets really dirty.

My dear Poppes is also very well. He's spirited and happy as usual. Although he wasn't entirely content with sticking to walking and a little trot instead of cantering (I like to take it very careful with the riding since he hasn't really been exercised as much as usual). He is still the king of the pasture with three mares and he loves to be in charge. Thankfully is a quite fair leader. Unfortunately I didn't get to ride him as much as I wanted to but hopefully I'll be able to ride a little more next time I go home.

Liten and Loke.

Liten was just as happy to have me home as the last time I came home. He's healthy and had a lot of fun on the weekend when his to dog friends came to visit. Loke and Devil are such quiet, sweet dogs that you barely notice (except when they take up all the space in your couch or bed...). Very easy going and it's a pleasure to borrow them from time to time so that Liten can play with them.

Svante is now neutered and he pretty much thinks that his life sucks when he has to wear an E-collar (so that he doesn't lick the wound open). As soon as you take it off he is back to his sweet, usual self. As soon as the wound has healed he will be able to go out and as well :)

I got to spend a little time with my friends and family as well and that is always appreciated but I hope to spend a little more with them next time.
