Brigheen Dances!
Lovely little Brigheen bought tears of joy to us both yesterday. When she arrived at Wiccs she was a terrified little thing who pretended she had no legs and would hide and peep out at you.
On Saturday she took her first steps on a lead. Very small and very slow steps, but she did a few and managed a short walk round the barn. She did decided she really liked cuddles and fuss though - and grooming was just heavenly!
On Sunday Brigheen was extremely brave and after a hesitant start was off and round the field for walks like a true pro! She enjoyed some more grooming and lovely cuddles.
Yesterday though, she made us both well up. It was party time in the barn before everyone settled down for bed, and Paul was dancing around like a mad man to something on Plant Rock. Most of the the gang were throwing tennis balls around or playing wrestling matches and racey-chasey games. However Brigheen was sitting watching everything going on.
Shep decided that dancing looked like a good idea and was up on his back legs, front paws in Paul's hands and they were dancing about. Brigheen was watching, taking it all in, head cocking from one side to another.
The next thing we see is Brigheen sidling up next to Paul. She sits in front of him and lifts up her front paw to his hands. Paul takes her offered paws and sways them from side to side a bit, and then puts them back down again. Shep barges in for more dancing, at which point a rather bizarre tango ensues! Least said the better on that one!!
Next time I look its gone one step further, and Paul is walking across the barn with Brigheen behind him on her back legs, paws on his back, and Shep behind her, paws on Brigheen's back - they are all doing a conga!! Really, you couldn't train it that quickly! And WHY do I never have the camera when I need it.
The look on Brigheen's face bought tears to both of us. She was smiling and happy and really enjoying herself - she was discovering something new and learning something new about herself. That's what its all about. That's why we do it. :)
