As I was working on my blog just now, September 14th, I got a phone call from our equine veterinarian. And I have to just say that I love our veterinarians. Zelia, Jackass and the cats have a great friend and caretaker and skilled physician in Dr. Amanda. And my herd could not possibly do better than Dr. Ryan. Happy blessings to them and their families and creatures on this wonderful holiday. And by the way, this photo was taken almost exactly a year ago...my baby is much bigger, stouter, stronger and more mature -- but he's still a cute little guy like this winter fella in my warm heart!
