Day 92: New and Fun!

Even thought the final competition was really near we decided it would be fun if we had something new and different to do. The first thing that we thought of was a lion stand that I could have her stand on, but that would take up to much room in out trailer. The next thing we thought of was a teeter totter, that would be easy. All we would need is a sturdy piece of plywood and a long round log. We went down to our handy dandy shop (which was cluttered with just about anything you would need if you were remodeled houses like my dad.) we drug down the supplies we would need to the arena, including a few barrels, 5 gallon buckets, 2x4’s and 4x4’s (just in case we decided to get creative). Soon after we set up the teeter totter, I was attempting it with Reece, the first time she did great…but after that she realized that it was scary and she fell once she hit a point on the bored. She would resolve her fear by jumping off the bored (usually towards me) the second it began to tip. After a few times of trying the ‘fun new thing’ my sis and I decided to make an ‘archway’ to hang things like tarps from. Reece had gotten really good at the tarp on the ground ,but she still was not fond of it touching her anywhere else. We hung up the tarp and her immediate response was ‘you can look but you don’t touch’. after a few min. she decided it was okay to walk under it but she defiantly would not stop to smell the flowers. I decided we had enough fun for the day when she would stop by it and let me rub her with it.
