Phoenix was gelded today along with Sinatra and it all went very smoothly. They are now sharing a recovery stall together and both seem to be doing well.

Phoenix was rechecked yesterday by Dr. Hannah and is doing well. He has had quite a bit more swelling than Sinatra (due to him being a little more...*cough*...well-endowed), but nothing to be concerned about at this point and still a normal amount of swelling. If it gets worse he may need to have his incision opened a bit where it has already closed over so it can drain, but more than likely the swelling will gradually go down on its own.

Those last two photos are just lovely...picture postcard perfect. Such a handsome pair! I'm so glad Phoenix is okay after his gelding.

The boys must be getting pretty close to moving from the "rehab" thread to the "ready for adoption" thread. I still love those pictures of Phoenix leading Sinatra with the lead rope. I think Dutchess must have seen all the attention that trick got because she was doing that with Emma the other day when I was moving them among pastures. "Hey look! I'm leading Emma!" Of course Emma was having none of it as she reached over and grabbed Dutchess's rope with a "nuh uh, I got you" twinkle in her eye. I guess Phoenix is lucky to have had such a good buddy willing to go along.
