Good news!



Good news all around Breezes EPM is better, she no longer drags her front toe and is picking up her back foot much better! Stifles have less fluid and her eyes even look brighter! YEAHH!! I was worried b/c she's in foal and the weight on her joints will increase so getting her joints and EPM under control now is wonderful, I see shining stars in her future. Arionna has the best winter coat (see pix bottom right), every year it gets thicker and I know she keep very warm, so I don't worry too much when it gets super cold here.


Speaking of cold, Gracie and Poncho got their winter coats a bit late this year, BUT they were on sale and I got a great deal, pix above, Poncho was so warm in his new jacket, he gets cold easily, 15 this year and the horsey blanket is a thick fleece, such a good boy! Gracie is still limping but we are trying a new supplement (for both pups) so we can limit use of Deramaxx which is hard on their organs > on her last b/w (Nov.) her liver values were on the high end of normal. Since Buddy left us we are more cautious than b4 w/them, she's 11 this year so we gotta keep our guy and gal going!

More on the cats at next post, they are a unique menagerie of felines, love all 4 dearly!!

As for the other pregnant mom, we have great news too; we are having a boy and a girl! Our wishes have come true, 10 fingers and 10 toes, that's all we really wanted! Sometimes I pinch myself b/c it seems so unreal. I'm def. starting to show ALOT and will post a pix soon. Starting to clean out the nursery room this weekend, we have so much paint left over from LR/K, lots of yellow so we may end up w/yellow and a blue stripe or who knows what we end up with!!

Mel, I always love reading about all your animals! Makes me jealous as I've always wanted a bunch of animals around...maybe since we're moving to our own little acreage we can get at least more doggies? :) Also VERY excited about your twin news- a boy and girl-what a wonderful blessing!

Thanks Kell- they are an amazing group of animals, they teach me to be kind and compassionate, like I want to raise my children. Patience is key ;p)))
