The Feet
Oh, yeah, I forgot to post about Bella's feet picking-up issue. Turns out it was all dominance-related. The farrier came last week Tuesday, and so Bella said "No, I don't want to hold my foot up" like she normally does and my mom just backed her up hard and fast (the farrier was out of the way of course), and Bella did pretty well after that. It wasn't that she quit being sassy: She took her foot away from the farrier around 7 times total, but she licked her lips every time my mom backed her up, and then quit being sassy for a little bit. That's a LOT better than normal, because normally it's always a constant fight to get her feet done. So, two thumbs up for savvy and prior and proper preparation!
