Punching Bag Urgently Required!

August 2, 2011

Sparky’s wound is slowly healing, but he’s getting extremely rambunctious from being stuck in the stables to keep his leg dry. He needs to exercise and blow off steam, so he plays and jumps and bumps us like a puppy… except that he weighs easily half a ton and it’s becoming dangerous for us. We used layers of plastic wrap and special tape to make his dressing waterproof so he could go out for a couple of days (pictured), but the wound immediately deteriorated. So, he’s back to stable confinement. Our idea now is to hang a punching bag (like boxers use) from the rafters, so that he can smash it – instead of us!! If you have an old punching bag stored away which hasn’t been used for years, please consider donating / selling it to us. Sparky would really appreciate it, and so would we!
