Meet Mica

On Monday, Rich Scott trailered Claro back to his home, and he was reunited with Mica and Cremosso. When Rich arrived, he did a little work with Claro on loading and unloading into the trailer, and then had me work with him on loading and unloading.  As we worked, Mica and Cremosso watched very closely …

Two weeks ago, Mica got to participate in his very first clinic, at my friends Jody and Marty’s place in Berthoud, which is only 20 minutes away. I had practiced loading Mica into Rich’s trailer the last time Rich had come out to my place to help  me, and everything had gone well. He suggested …

I decided to adopt Mica and so I contacted the Canon City staff and asked if they could identify him from my photos. When they confirmed he was there, I headed down to the adoption scheduled on December 7. There he was, among hundreds of other weanlings who had been rounded up and separated from …

Mica was delivered to Rich Scott’s place in Byers, CO on a very cold, blustery winter day. He seemed curious about Rich and I when we entered his pen, but not terribly afraid. I had decided to have Rich work with him for 1 month before bringing him to my home, to join my two …
