Cotie

Cotie Loves Gregory. Everytime Gregory is around him, he has eyes only for Gregory. Cotie was scratching Gregory's head, so that made Gregory laugh, which made Cotie do it more. They were quite the pair the other day.

Grandkids

This is Sabrina and her boys. Gregory on the left and Collin on her lap. They were outside enjoying a rather beautiful (if not blazingly hot) day.









Collin took it upon himself to play in a mud puddle, while Gregory favored the pool. They were so cute playing that day.










While Hannah contented herself playing with bubbles and in the pool, the boys were hamming it up doing their own thing. It amazes me how much they are all alike, yet have so many differences.








Each child is very independant, while one may be more stubborn then the other, each seems to learn at an extremely quick rate, course that may be me thinking they do. ; ) Gregory is pretty outgoing, while Hannah is shy, very opinionated and extremely stubborn. Gregory Loves to tease and play, while Hannah prefers to chill and hang out with dad, she does like to play at times but not as much as Gregory does. She's a bit of a chicken too, unless it's horse related that is, she's the first to say, Nanna, I want to ride, then Gregory follows suit quickly. It seems they try to out do each other constantly. They fight, they fuss and they argue, but they really love each other. Collin on the other hand is very Mommy oriented right now.

All in all though, I couldn't ask for a better bunch of grandchildren. They are a blast to have around and it is SO great to be able to say..... Here ya go, this child is acting a fool, YOU take care of the situation! LOL Being a Grandparent is The best!

Pictures..

I will be taking more pictures of Cotie for Y'all to eval again. I just have to get them done, then posted. Thanks everyone!

Zelda Chokes, AGAIN

I had been pulling Zelda in before anyone else so she could "take her time" and not feel rushed and putting her in her own enclosed area.

A lot of good That did. First time she choked, it was on hay alone. Dislodged that, but evidently left her throat irritated. Second time, she choked on pelleted grain. Such fun! Not, called the vet out for that one. This time, it was sweet feed and one mouth full. As soon as it got stuck, she stopped and raised her head waiting for me to come and help her. I took her right out of there and put her in the yard. Gave her a shot of banamine and massaged and massaged and massaged. She drank a bit, which must have moved the blockage, cause about 15 mins later, she was tearing up the grass running away from me. Good Grief. Poor Zelda is really starting to show her age now, which saddens me. The vet says she looks great for her age, even though I know the time is getting closer to her demise, and that's not something I look forward to, but I am preparing myself for it (emotionally). I'm trying to decide where it would be best to lay her. I think she would like it best if she were close to the pasture edge since then she will "feel" as if she's still part of the herd, or if you would prefer, look over the herd. I know this may sound silly to some, after all, what does she care once she's passed away, but it matters to me where she is laid to rest. I want to do what she would want, the way she would want. I know she's not ready yet, she's still full of piss and vinegar, but I don't think, that it's that far off. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make her young again. Hell, I wish I could wave a magic wand and make ME young again. ; )

Elly ~ Who has hit the "terrible two's 'tude". She's in the Don't touch me, don't look at me, don't even Think about it mode right now. She hasn't offered to kick, however, she has shown her Butt a couple of times. Heaven forbid I walk towards her right now with a halter. She looks at me and sticks out her toungue as she goes the opposite way. Brat!


Cassie. She's due in June. She's starting to want a LOT of attention from me. She's getting very picky eating and really getting to be a bit of an attention Hog. She's a sweet mare though, so it's hard to not give her the attention she desires. Not much longer to go.

David's mare, Gracie. She may LOOK pregnant, but she is Not. She's just a marshmellow. She's a big horse, with a lot reach. She takes great care of David when we are out on a trail ride.



Sandy. She decided the trees were a good place to
get a good scratch. And of course eat all the nice green
grass that's under them. ; ) Always the opportunist!
