April 27, 2009 – Remember who I am

I was busy helping prep and video Rory's half sister yesterday so I didn't get him out for his Sunday walk. I did go and visit him for scritchies and carrots. His mum and TOW came over too. I scritched all of them and after a bit TOW started horsing around with Rory. I was standing by mum watching when TOW got his teeth into Rory's bum as he was turning around. Rory snaked his head out and bit my wrist (evidently not paying attention to who he was biting, but just reacting to TOW's teeth). I saw him coming and got my arm mostly out of the way so I just felt his top teeth as he caught my sweater sleeve. Unintentional or not, that is forbidden behaviour so I reprimanded him. He scooted away, as did TOW, then turned around and sort of came back, stopping about six feet away. I kept an eye on him and let him calm down for a minute, then went and scritched him again.

I am sure Rory's warts are getting smaller and/or falling off at last. He's really starting to shed out and some short summer hairs are showing on his face around his nose and eyes. So far they are still quite light so he may not go that charcoal brown he was last fall. We've got extremely warm weather forecast for several days this week - I'll have to take the curry to him and see what develops.
