Battling on in the mud

We have had more rain just after it was nearly all dry again (well nearly)... but Coco has been getting really brave - having to interact with me every day in his yard. I found he had an area on the side of his face where he's obviously been itching where the hair has all rubbed off and he's broken the skin - so I managed to get some cream on it - I know! Amazing. He's really only just allowed me to touch his face just recently.

Every day I try and get him more used to his ears being touched too - he doesn't like that much - and also to pick his feet up. He's getting braver with strangers, he backed up to the lady giving the boys a massage until he was pushing on her.... she gave him a bit of a rub.
