We had the vet out a while back for the equine normals, teeth float, sheath cleaning etc. We had the Doc look at Lanky briefly. He gave us a wormer and some antibiotics for him and he is getting better. His hair is nicer, he plays more and eats more. We've been spoiling him with some canned food and table scraps that he likes. He is getting friendlier and my husband picks him up for short periods now and he is getting better about that. He is still deathly afraid of children. My husband is loving it because we don't have a dog right now and Lanky follows him everywhere! He is still frightened of the horse and donkey but will go with us to the barn to feed but remains outside the fence. The donkey hates him but the horse loves him. Spike is spoiled and I think it is a jealousy thing.

It looks like Lanky is there to stay. Has he gotten friendlier?

Ha,ha! Russ doesn't like Harry...I think it's a jealousy thing too! I'm glad Lankey has settled in-he's cute! I hope he continues to get better.
