Dramatic Much!!!

Dan is a GOOBER!!! He got his feet done today and Sara looked at him and thought that he still looked a bit thin in the soles at the toe. So we decided to put his front shoes back on at least one more round. So we did. She put a different style on... the style Flecky has. They don't require as much scraping of the hoof wall so they will help prepare him for going fully barefoot better. But it means she has to saran wrap around the foot while the glue dries to get the tabs to stick. So she did. And then we put him in the stall to let him chill while we did Fleck. 

He was fussy. He kept angry pawing the ground.... And then he'd stop. And then he'd do it again and then stop. And we were holding onto Fleck so I couldn't see exactly what he was doing through the stall wall. But it looked like he might be chewing at the saran wrap. So for about 10 minutes he was fussing and being dramatic. And I did catch him chewing on the saran wrap some too. He'd eat an occasional bite and then go back to being fussy. I was starting to get a little bit concerned about him. Well.. then he started to circle and then went down to his knees, with his butt still up in the air, then got back up. For a minute I thought he might be colicking. Like... dude!!! I know I'm mean and didn't give y'all water in your stalls because Sara got there quicker than I could, but.. it's only been 1.5 hrs. So... we grabbed him and Sara said it had been long enough to pull the saran wrap so she did. He licked and chewed and then was happy as a clam... eating his hay. I had even opened his stall door thinking maybe he wanted a drink or was pissed about being inside. Nope.. it was a full out temper tantrum about the saran wrap on his feet!!!! hee hee... 

But then we made him come back out and get his T-rex glitter put back on. :)
