Changes

Well can't believe how long it has been since signing into this blog. I realized that there was a post stuck in the draft box so just posted it. Now we have some more news from the Ranch.


Let us try and bring you up to date then I will start posting once a week. Probably will not write to much after this but will just include picture. Nice to be able to look back on these posts so will use it as a bit of a diary.


December was a sad and happy month for us.


On  December 1, 2011 we had to have Shiloh put to sleep. She had been not eating much and finally we took her in and apparently her intestines were being pushed aside from a tumor or mass. We made the decision to let her go as she was in her 16th year and couldn't put her through an operation that may or may not have helped her.
While we were at the vets office we were coaxed to look at a lab/cross puppy that was in dire need of a home. We went and looked at him and of course fell in love with the baby brown eyes.


Later the same day we were blessed with our third grandson and hubby was honored that his name was used for the middle name. Anderson Nicholas and he was 8lbs 4 oz and 20.3 inches long so a good healthy little boy.


Two days later we made the decision to bring the new puppy home and try him out as Mojo had been so horribly lost without Shiloh. We called him Zeus and of course he is still here.


On Jan 7, 2012 we had Mystery the pony put to sleep. She as you know had been battling laminitis since we rescued her. It seemed she would have a bout of it then recover only to end up with it again. Laminitis is very painful and this last time she was affected with it she never recovered. So her life was consisting of living in the barn, getting up to eat and drink then laying back down. Her breathing was very rapid and after consulting with a vet we decided to do the right thing and send her to the Rainbow Bridge.  She taught me so much about handling horses and I will always miss her special little nicker that she would give.


Well I will end this post and then enter some pictures of the new and the old.
