Keep on Truckin'

The girls and I drove the truck, pulling a horse trailer, to Niles on Saturday to pick up this little girl


Isn't she adorable? Her name is Lady.

We started the trip crossing the Kalamazoo River with a semi on our left side and a too-short railing on our right. After sweating that one out I decided I could handle anything else the trip could throw at us. Doug offered to drive us down but I needed a challenge and he always has too much to do.

She is so small we couldn't even tie her into the trailer and made several stops to check on her and feed her a few treats. She spent the first day feeling nervous and unsure but by day 2 was following us around, nickering when we first enter the barn and her personality was beginning to shine through. She is perfect for AJ.We still have Lady and Misty seperated thought they can touch noses and smell each other. This weekend we will open the gate and see how they do.

Misty is beginning to lose her winter coat, with much help from Franchesca. Here she is still needing a trip to the salon.

Oh and on the subject of Franchesca, does she have some straight teeth or what?
