Day 18: How to Care For Your Horse’s Penis
During morning feeding, we got a call about an injured seabird in a hotel lobby. We finished really fast and drove to pick the bird up. Turns out, it is a Newell’s Shearwater, an endangered bird. We took it back and examined it. It just banged it’s head, nothing serious. We let it sit for a while and then fed it fish rubbed with fish oil. The little guy had a sharp and serrated bill. Poor Ann donated quite a bit of blood to the bird while she fed it. Then tonight, we took the bird out to the shore and released it. Really cool.
We continued our wetlands clean up today. It was pretty gross. I don’t mind all the mud and grime and toads, but I really don’t like being attacked by red ants, flies, mosquitoes, and spiders. Those things just can’t leave me alone. Now we’re all so dirty. The grime just doesn’t want to come off. I still have streaks on my arms and my nails are all brownish.
I cleaned out Mr. Big’s hooves today. While I was doing that, Ann taught us about horse penis care. Apparently, it’s very important that it be cleaned often or else they develop bladder issues. Afterwards, I got to ride him! Ann taught me correct posture and steering. It was so cool. I’ve never actually ridden a horse before. It started to pour while I was riding so we had to stop. But I get to ride again tomorrow!
Tonight Ann made me kill a cockroach. That was pretty stressful. But I did it. Go me.
