Calling Rocky. Step By Step

Calling Rocky. Step by step

 

We went by to see Rocky today, and he was out in the pasture. Rocky is blind, and sometimes, if he is in a different place away from his barn, he has trouble finding us. Maria and I have learned speak softly and continuously, and bit by bit, he makes his way to us. He is anxious about poking himself in the face or head, which he sometimes does. I recorded his step-by-step and cautious movements towards Maria and her apple, and posted them on Facebook. We are going over tomorrow to give Rocky a good brushing. He is at ease being touched with both of us now, although we approach him patiently.
