I'm so excited to begin! I couldn't wait to post this, and I will pretty it up a bit later. c:
Training log: Day 1
last night, Res walked out of the trailer and into the pen, and I laid eyes on him for the first time. He was beautiful, and while he was obviously uncertain, he was also curious. It was as if he couldn't wait to eagerly rush out to explore and yet he wanted to slowly and cautiously think over things at the same time. I watched him for hours, and I considered naming him Conflicting Desires or something of that nature. Such a name would have fit perfectly with his natural curiosity and yearning to explore and his need to take things slow and adjust. However, that was not the first name that came to mind, nor was it the one I chose. For his curiosity, I decided to name him With Eyes Wide Open, a lyric from one of my favorite songs. The barn name came easily after that, as I named him after the song's title. There is still the possibility that I will change that name, but it seems to fit. In fact,today I walked Ressie's pen while singing the song softly to myself, and he perked up his ears to listen.
Right now, I am simply standing nearby, watching Res. This is to let him grow accustomed to my presence. If he is used to me being around and accepts that, the rest of his training will go much more smoothly. I also want him to know that I am a friend, not a foe.

Give when it's not fair,

Take time for a brother,
Fight for the weak ones,
Speak out for freedom,
Find faith in the battle,
Stand tall but above it all,
Fix my eyes on You.
