| Looking
for a name "the machos in the house can live with" - LOL! |
 |
| Eureka!
We have done it! We have come up with a name! She is Katie! She's getting
brave: struts right past the dogs, chases the neighbor's very friendly cat
away from her " Mom" and has even been so bold as to venture
into the barn! |

was out cleaning the corral and noticed a small squirrel closer to old
Domino than was natural. So I watched awhile. This little squirrel came up
behind Dom (he was a red roan, had a pretty gray and white tail, very
full) and he climbed right up his tail and scooted right underneath the
tail head (dangerous spot, Dom was a gassy horse!) It just hid there! I
was amazed! I called to my husband for my camera and explained what
happened, fast. He ran into the house and came back with my camera and the
camcorder. I have video too! That little squirrel just kept sticking his
head out from Dom's butt, peeking at the world. Finally Dom had enough and
gave a series of tail wiggles 'til the little guy fell down the tail to
the ground. The squirrel disappeared for awhile and resurfaced on a low
branch, peering into the dog kennel, eyeing the speckled back of our
German Shepherd, big No-No: Bruin HATES squirrels. We managed to capture
the little guy in a 5 gal bucket with a window screen on top and
transported him to ORENDA Wildlife Trust's building about 10 minutes from
here. I received a letter from them a month or so later: the juvenile
squirrel had pneumonia and was probably lookin' for his Mama! Dom's tail
was close I guess! It was really weird! Orenda sent me a letter
stating that the squirrel recovered from pneumonia and was released a
healthy rodent! |

| There will be no team penning for me! We discovered
that Caly is terrified of cows! "Caly-Cow!!"

[November,
2003]: "...a
few photos of Casino from last summer for the
"before" shots.
They don't show off his bones very well, but, hey...he is my project.
Still working on filling in the topline and building up those butt
muscles.
By spring he should look great." |

| The
last of the pix of Casino....:-(
He and Liz seem very content in NH. In the
2 1/2 hours I was there he was handed apples, carrots and
peppermints.....She is worried her ( now grown ) children will be jealous
of the treatment she gives the horse! LOL!
When he first came, Fall 2003, severely
underweight and under muscled, he could NOT walk: jig and dance only....By
January 2005, he could walk, trot and lope ( sometimes) On the ground you
could not ask for better, an absolute doll...while on his back: his energy
got the best of him but he was always compliant...made his rider look
awesome! LOL. I love this horse, and I will miss him. Good Luck to
Elizabeth, I trust you to be his new Mom: Happy Trails! |

| Here's
Dazzle in May, 2004 - 16 now, and the best trail horse you could ever ask
for. I can put anyone on him with confidence, most recently a 10 year old
boy just learning to ride, who, incidentally, took this photo! |

| Here
he is with the same 10 year old. |
