We introduced you to Heidi in a former post. She was born in December, and we weren’t sure how she was going to do, but she’s been impressing us everyday. We’ve had so many people ask about her that we wanted to give you an update.
Heidi (right) with mom Sophia (left) and brother Hercules in between!
Sophia was very hypervigilant with her in the beginning, but she has relaxed quite a bit now as she seems to think that Heidi will take care of herself—and she does.
She keeps up with the others. She doesnt fall hardly at all anymore, and she jumps around just like the others do, even with only one front leg to hold her up. One night she jumped up on the fence to reach me! Her one front leg has gotten very strong so that it holds the rest of her up all by itself. You can hardly tell which one she is when she is out in the corral.
Whenever we go up to the barn, Heidi comes right to us and wants us to hold her and hug her. Here she is giving Gerald hugs and kisses!
Whenever we have company, she wants to say “hello.” Our friends Willy, Wendy, and little Willy Tuz came to visit, and of course Heidi was a fast favorite. Here she is with Wendy.
When its time for a nap, Heidi finds her brother Hercules, or he finds her, so they can sleep together. Hercules is a very protective older brother.
As you can see, Heidi doesn’t think twice about her “disability.” She is amazing us every day with what she can do!
