Well today is Matilda’s rebred date, and so far I have seen no signs at all of her coming into heat. Now that it is almost noon, I am growing cautiously optimistic that she indeed might be bred. I will give it a couple more days and then pick up the pregnancy testing supplies. The earliest I can draw blood for the test is the 4th of November, so I still have plenty of time to wait.
This morning Matilda stood quietly and let me give her a nice back massage while she was munching on some alfalfa pellets. She still won’t let me touch her without food being involved, but at least she stands quietly for attention without trying to move away.
Maggie on the other hand still moves away when I try to touch her even when food is invovled. She did do a little better this morning and I was able to touch her should briefly on both sides. But if I let my hand linger longer than 5 seconds she moves off.
