Good morning!

This is what greets me every morning when I go outside. Is it any wonder I spend the rest of the day smiling?





Jazz is OK this morning. He has a strong pulse and heat in the foot but he is less lame. I think he may just have a bruise. I'm pretty certain he does not have anything to worry about, like a pulled tendon. Just a couple of days standing around in the natural poultice of a cold wet field, and he'll be fine, I expect. This is why I wouldn't hunt him until we had exhausted every other option for training him - it's an activity that just begs to cause injuries. When you jump in mud you have no idea what's buried in it. I felt him "give" on that foot about half an hour before we finished so I expect that's when he trod on something :-(
