Today I had a little bit of extra time so Funny got caught and we trekked to the trailer. The ramp was already down so I walked her right up and right up she went. :) She was chill and cool and like... "okay, what now?". So then I tried to back her off. NOPE!! Poor girl said NOPE and tried to turn around. I moved around to try to get the other side's butt bar down so I could slide the divider open and she turned more and got wedged!!! EEEKS! No baby girl.. that's not how this works! I couldn't get the pin out because she was wedged up against it. Uh oh! I was actually starting to worry that she would go down because of how she was stuck, but.. luckily, she's still all cartilaginous and was able to finally wiggle her way completely around. Thank goodness it was the extra tall and extra wide one. She then calmly walked right off the ramp. I then undid the butt bar and moved the divider over and we walked back on and off repeatedly to make sure she didn't scare herself. She was super. We tried backing off but she said nope.. not yet. So then we went to the front of the house to go walk on the concrete and maybe try backing over different terrain. And all of a sudden she was almost on top of me! Poor girl! The tarp door on the shavings shed flapped in the wind behind us and scared the tar out of her. She didn't bolt though and I was able to talk her down and then she watched it wide eyed and nostrils flared while it blew a little more. Then it stopped and she was okay. We walked into the garage and backed out of it. No big deal. So then we went back to the trailer and got on but only partially and backed down. We could do all of that but we still couldn't get to backing the hind feet over the edge to the ramp. No worries. We'll get there. Overall, good progress today. :)
