02/28/08, 10pm…Windchill on cam…

February 28th, 10:00pm: I managed to get the cam up later in the evening – sorry there wasn’t a lot of time but hopefully you got to see Windchill unwinding with few of his ‘staff’. He sure is beginning to fill out, isn’t he? There are times during the day before his lift that when he lifts his head and moves his legs I can see him getting up without the sling in the not too distant future. It makes me so proud to know him. So much spirit in such a small body. He was still up at last check – he always reminds me of a little kid getting to stay up past his bedtime. He looks, whinnies, and wanders over, still munching some hay. We tell him it’s okay to be up past his bedtime – he can stand as long as he wants. When he’s tired he carefully picks his spot in the hay and lowers himself down – again like that little kid finally giving in to being tired.

Apparently the news is out now about the charges being filed in his case:

I’ve heard from folks it was on television as well. We’re not in the house until late so haven’t seen the coverage. One of our Friends of Barbaro sent me the article above (which is kind of funny given that I actually live here and didn’t know about it!)
