Please continue to pray

More than anything, however, it is my master's soothing words that I crave I chuckle at those who pity me, for I am his beloved friend and partner, not his slave.

One Foot In Front Of The Other

Today we will start the task of rebuilding Jake's hooves. Maybe later I can get Nickel to model his hooves so you can see what draft feet should look like.

One Day At A Time.

Today is Jake's first day out. He's had 4 days of nourishment , he's been dewarmed and today is going to be Jake's first full day out. He needs a heavy winter blanket , because he has no body fat, to generate heat.

Birthday Breakfast

Bobby and Keri made me the most awesome Birthday Breakfast,yum.

Road Trip

We took a road trip, to Meaders Supply with Bobby,Keri and Rocco. We did a little shopping for some necessities for Jake.

Blessings

On Thanksgiving when you count your blessings ,you should count the critters twice.

Meet Jake

Jake is our NEW project,not that we were looking for a project.

Bob and I

have been shopping for a second horse to ad to our farm.

We wanted some one older then Nickel that was sound with good manners.

Then we , met Jake.

Jake is under weight , and banged up. He was not treated very nice by the Amish. After seeing his kind eye and gentle manner we could not say no for fear that he would not get the forever home he deserves. Jake is going to need lots of LOVE , FOOD and PRAYERS.

Sunday Drive

It is only cold if you stop! Bob and I got up at 5am ,did our chores and then took a road trip. We went to Stonewall Kitchen for some special ingredients, for Thursday. When we got back we took a drive with Mr. Nickel. Nickel worked up a sweat.

Pig Pig

Pig does not want to go far from his house

Burr cold

It is beginning to look a lot like winter.Today it was 20 - 23. the winds were harsh bringing the temp. down.Pig is nestled in. The bird feeders were very bizzy as was the bird bath (strange but I guess they still need drinking water.) Nick and Mini do not seem fazed.

You have mail

Bob and I ordered Nickel Pony Pops on Sunday. Pops arrived yesterday. Bob scrubbed and hung Nickels holder. Nick appears to remember what to do.

Waiting

Nick and Mini were confined to the side yard as Bob and Bobby worked on the fence. Both boys are getting winter coats.

The Grass is always greener

Bob and Bobby re structured the fence . The "new" fence is safer and more spacious. Nick was quick to check out the newly exposed grass.

Sunday Breakfast

Mom makes every one a special breakfast on Sundays. Bunny Mice's and Pieces appreciate this.

Fall Harvest

Pig is loving the fact that Mommy bought 45 lbs of pumpkins. Any pumpkins that rot or freeze pig takes care of...

Company for Pig...

At the end of the day we were in the yard putting away the wagon and walking the dogs,when we had a visit. Some of the club members had finished up a trail ride and stopped in to say hi. It is a blessing to be able to expose our animals ,people and sounds, Pig was very happy. 3 of the horses in the photo belong to Dick and Charlene.

Fall Back

Today was a nice fall day. Bob and I made the most of our extra hour. We did chores , took a ride to NH. and then took the boys for a drive. Yes, "the boys" Nickel and Mini. Today was the first time we took Mini along. Mini did awesome, he ponied behind the cart. I think he believes he is a big horse.
