Wow, this has been a big week for Enzo. We started the week with a walk down the street on Monday. Both my husband and myself walked on either side and we chose the busiest time of day for our rural street. He walked down the street like a brave little soldier. He did not even blink at the traffic, or the mailboxes or the barking dogs. He was a bit unsure of the large bolder in the neighbors front lawn, so we walked over for a meet and greet....Enzo soon found that not only was this bolder not scary, it was really pretty boring....which is a good thing, because in Monson we grow boulders the size of small cars!
Lucciano also decided this week that Enzo should not spend any time in his stall, so he has made it his personal job to spend any free time he has trying to set him free. (he is also know as Houdini) He successfully open the stall door to the big boy paddock on Wednesday....my husband said he suddenly saw a small red flash running out with the big boys....Enzo came to him immediately as I think he was as shocked as my husband at his new found freedom! We have now put multiple locks on the outside of the barn door...he actually did well with the big guys, but we are still not comfortable with him be part of the larger herd yet....much to Lucciano's dismay.
Enzo allows me to pick up all four of his feet and I can also do this while he is loose in his stall and eating hay. We are working on picking them up for longer periods of time as he has his first visit with the blacksmith next week.
Enzo is a special guy....every morning I wake up and call out to him. He makes my day when he pops his little head over the stall, with is Enzo hair all over filled with shavings....looking up to the house to see which one of his fans is calling his name!
