Day 2 - Grotty Groom got carried away!

Having walked Minty Mutt this morning Furry Mama realised just how much Baggy aches from the very lovely, but marathon-length walks in Kent. Well okay they were six miles not twenty-six but you get the gist. The good news was that Minty seemed okay though. Clearly he is now fitter than Baggy. Baggy left him with chewies, the telly on and Hinge and Bracket cats for company and drove Grotty Groom to the yard. Wesley was due his three-monthly physiotherapy check. Freda Fretter was rather worried after his last check-up when he was very overweight and seriously lame. Grotty got there early enough to give him a good groom. They had been left in for the day after the major storms of last night so their beds had been left up. Freda Fretter is not a fan of this old-fashioned practise. She gave both Boys a cuddle and another haynet just as the Physiotherapist turned up.

It was good news. He's lost lots of weight. He wasn't lame. He did need treatment but it wasn't too major. Grotty now has to do some physio. exercises with him to build up his abdominal muscles. Yes - the irony! Grotty struggled big time to manage these exercises as her own stomach was not strong enough! So she has booked Baggy Body her own session with the Physiotherapist in four weeks time. The joke is that although Baggy will be sure to get Grotty to do Wesley's exercises, she probably won't do her own.

After the Physio. had left, Grotty decided to put the Boys' beds back down. Not a huge task really. Skip out the poos. Pull down the piles of straw from the corner of the stable and spread it across the floor. Then put two new bales of straw in Wesley's stable and one in Joey's. But it nearly killed Baggy. Grotty has been wanting to get back to her duties for a couple of weeks now. Calum keeps telling her that she's not ready. Clever Bird didn't believe him, so Hormonal Hannah was making Baggy feel guilty. Calum was once again right. Tonight her stomach hurts and her arm is burning. Ho hum.

But she's good. It's just because she has spent three days in a row, over-doing it. But it's because she is pretty much mended and that's great. Baggy is very very happy to be back in action.......
