Gorgeous Morning

Bahloo was wallowing.

Breakfast time. Bahloo's new bucket is red.

Heidi is Jim's new buddy.

Bahloo didn't want to be left out.

Heidi getting some special attention from Lisa.

It's absolutely amazing to get up in the morning and look out the window at the horses grazing. It was a gorgeous morning. Sunny and a bit warmer than it has been the last couple of days. We spent some time outside with the horses while they finished up their breakfast. They seemed to enjoy the attention as much as we did! Bahloo and Heidi are relatively close in size. When they are standing side by side, you can see that Bahloo's rump is a few inches higher than Heidi's though. They are both big girls and should end up about the same size when they finish growing. Somewhere in the 17+ hand ballpark.

SHE'S HERE!!

Bahloo arrived a little after 11am. It was drizzly rain and turning cooler out, but the horses didn't seem to care. The vet says that Bahloo is in for a big growth spurt over about the next six months. She will be a BIG girl. She's absolutely spectacular! I think her and Heidi will be good buddies.... Did I mention she is absolutely spectacular??!!

Waiting Patiently

I arrived at Lisa and Jim's last night around 6pm local time. This morning me and Haley were up early visiting with the new residents. Haley wasn't sure what to make of the new horses and had to bark at them. Lisa took her in hand and gave her an up close and personal introduction so that she would see there was nothing to be worried about. I think she may still need a little more convincing, but there was definite progress. We are waiting now for Bahloo's arrival. Only about another hour and a half!

Happy Birthday Marianne!!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Marianne!!
Happy Birthday to you!

Hope you have a wonderful day! Can't wait to see everyone at Thanksgiving.

Miss Madeline

Madeline is almost 8 months old already. She has seven teeth and pulls herself to standing all the time. She will even "walk" the length of the couch holding on to it for balance. I was very surprised at her new skills! I can't wait for everyone to meet her at Thanksgiving!

New Friends

Haley was busy introducing herself to the squirrels that were running around the tree just outside the fence. Then the squirrel had the nerve to come on the roof and get a drink of water out of the gutter. Haley was totally wigging out about it.



This little guy is our new neighbor. There are two chain links fences about four inches apart separating the dogs and they were very upset about not being able to properly introduce themselves.

Bahloo!

I'm getting so excited. This is my horse Bahloo. These pics were taken yesterday. She has left the training ranch in Minnesota and is on her way back to Batavia, Ohio. She will be there until next Thursday (the 16th) when she will make her way to Lisa and Jim's. I'm still absolutely in awe that this horse is mine! I can't wait to spend some time with her.
