Welcome from sunny Arizona!
Minis are so much fun. Sounds like if he got a tummy ache after worming him, he may have some worm problems. Did you check any piles of poop 24 to 36 hours after to see if he was passing any? If he was, he has a heavy load and you might want to talk to your vet about a program to get him squared away and wormless, lol The vet can also check his teeth to make sure nothing needs floated and there are no spikes back that that need filed off.
Be very careful about tethering. BAD rope burns can occur from that- and I know of someone who had a horse that broke his neck while tethered (and they had camped out a lot over the years so the horse had been tethered before).
Sounds like you are already in love, lol and I must agree that one Mini seems to lead to another. I got my first one as a 'pet' too! Welcome- there are many wonderful folks here with tons of knowledge!!
