Hello Everyone,
Even though I am technically ‘relaxing’ and in foal living at Lane’s End Farm…I am still one very PLAYFUL GIRL! I simply can’t resist teasing my pal, Charles, and checking out all of his pockets for treats. He did have some of my very favorites….but I had to check out so many places to find them. That CHARLES is such a tease…just like MY MARIO was!
As you can see by my guys and their clothing, it is rather warm in Kentucky now. As I am a California girl at heart, I do love the warm weather. It is perfect for me! My friends from the cooler climates are currently acclimating to it! We get to go outside for most of the day now…even into the early evening hours. It is absolutely delightful!
It also stays light later now in Lexington. So this even adds to our fabulous time outdoors. As you may remember from my time at Barn 55….I loved to just stand outside and look around. I could do this for an endless amount of time and be happy. Now, I’m getting to stay outside for most of the day…and it is very special to ME!
I also wanted to explain that Lane’s End does have a basic dress code for all of the staff to follow while on duty at the farm. It is primarily a green shirt and some type of khaki colored slacks or shorts. It is really a very attractive look…and ties in beautifully with the farm colors. That is why so often in these photos, you will see this type of apparel! I must say, my guys look great in these colors and this attire!
Plus, they have so many pockets for ME to play with and check out each day! I just love it!
Have a fun-filled Wednesday! Perhaps you can spend some time checking out many of the things you love to do most!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

Zenyatta, our black Lab, named Ruffian, looks for treats in our pockets also. It is so cute! Anxious to hear about your expected one, as the months go by. Oh, yes;
Hoping to see you, from a distance at least, when we come to KY in August.

Hello my sweet Zenny. My, you are mischievious aren’t you? You look too cute trying to get into Charles’ pocket. I’m going to visit Lane’s End on July 28. I’m pretty sure they won’t let me see you, but if you could work something out, I’d be sure to have all my pockets full of peppermints for you! Loving you in Lexington :-)
@Deborah Richman – Sorry I misspelled your name yesterday!
Janet Cutting

@Tammy, great pix,we must have been standing 3 feet apart half the day, I have a lot of simerler pix! On Holy Ground is a stunner. I was mesmerized, I took a lot of him. I took a few of Mildly Offensive (who ran in the Manhattan Beach Stakes on Vanity Day)when I first saw her in the paddock she was definitely doing the famous Zenyatta pose. Too Cute. She is a tall girl too, and she was standing with beautiful posture, ears forward, taking in the scene. I think she was honoring you Z, she is a fan of yours. I know some of you are familiar with her on FB. Her FB page is very funny, and sweet, you have been a good role model for her Z, she even made a website and writes a diary, not as often as you (busy with her training I suspect). I get the impression it is a young person that writes for Mildly, what a good influence you are Miss Z. This link will take you to the pic of Mildly in her Z pose, that I posted on Mildly Offensive’s page. If you want to look at more pix, just click the arrow either side. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=224688087550037&set=a.211734468845399.60133.206729632679216&type=1&theater

I love seeing your playful side, Zenyatta! Charles must thoroughly enjoy spending time with you. Thanks for explaining the dress code. Everyone I’ve seen in your photos look very well dressed.
I’m happy that you’re enjoying the long summer days. Thanks for sharing everything that you do with us. I don’t write very often but I never miss one of your diary entries.

@Sue Fredrick, Yes Reckless was fortunate she got to come home. I read an article recently which stated there are some 5000 war dogs on active duty now in the military and the policy now is to bring them home and let them be with there handler or the handler’s families. This is great because it hasn’t always been that way.
Sharon Call
@Cheryl Y and Judy Berube. I just visited TRF at James River and voted for my choice for “Miss TRF”.
@J Smith. Great pics of Mildly Offensive. She is just gorgeous, very tall and elegant. Sort of wish she had another name, though.
Paula Higgins
This picture is just hilarious! It made me laugh out loud. Zenny is an absolute character. She is an intrepid personality girl if ever there was one.
Kathy Kimber

Another GREAT photo from Sarah. Thank you so much for being our eyes at Lane’s End, and recording memories which we are not privileged to see. “Sweets to the sweet,” Zenyatta. Who wouldn’t mind being frisked by the Queen?
Jean M.
Beautiful Zenyatta, What a great photo, thanks much Sarah. Charles looks good from every angle too. And pretty girl you give me the opportunity every day to do the one thing I love the most, looking at your picture and hearing about your daily activities. Thank you Dottie for keeping us close to Zenny.
Yvonne and Maurice Kirby
Hi Zenyatta. Just love this picture. You are definitely too cute. What are your favorite treats; peppermints? I truly love seeing you having such a great time surrounded by such love. Zenyatta, everyone that looks at you cannot help it but fall in love with you. You are too precious. Love you; stay comfy, enjoy those treats, eat well for two and keep on having a great time grazing and having fun with your BBFs. Love you Angel in Disguise.
