AW....sniff sniff--the first shoes on a Slybaby

In anticipation of our Labor Day ride in the Shawnee National Forest, baby Radar got his first big boy shoes.

I know it is absurd, but every time there is a "first" anything with the Slybabies, I get all sentimental. I was teasing the farrier that we would bronze these triple aughts when Radar was done with them.

I do have to brag though that Radar was the best behaved first shoe getter I have EVER had. He never even seemed to notice that something different or interesting was happening at all, and kept falling asleep during the process. A lot of that is a tribute to Marvin for raising him right, and the Secret Weapon for handling him so well during his time there, of course. I cannot believe how he takes everything in stride, virtually nothing phases him at all. Turning around to look was about the biggest reaction he had at all, and I am not convinced he was not turning around to listen to me talk about what a big boy he was.

I am such a dork. Today I am a proud dork though!
