Good Morning,
We are really enjoying rather pleasant weather in Lexington these days. My pal, Tasty Temptation, and I were out in our paddock and suddenly we decided we would ‘scratch each other’s back’. As you can see, Mathea was there just at that moment and took the perfect photo of us. I scratched TT’s back…and she sweetly gave me a nice little back rub at the same time. I must say that she and I are really dear friends. We get along beautifully.
I know about TEAMWORK…as I have been part of a TEAM my entire racing career. Thus, I know how truly important it is to work together to achieve goals. It is so nice to have a friend there to help you out when needed.
With Love,
Hugs to All~

For Suzanne–
There appears to be a bit of a baby bump but however small it is right now–will definitely become more pronounced as she gets closer to mid March 2012!

Zen, you’re one of a kind. God created the most precious horse and Mommy! I love you dearly!
Kari Bussell
MY Queen – You are so beautiful. I love your ears!…especially since I got to touch one of them…Having someone to scratch your back is so comforting & feels so good. You brought so many wonderful, remarkable people into my life to ‘scratch’ my back. You have brought more joy than mere words could ever express. I am eternally grateful…It is all because of YOU! You are our miracle, our gift from God…You inspire us all in so many ways …Teamwork is wonderful and because of you …Your ‘Dumplingz’ are a team, we are family, united – The Zenny Dumpling Gang…I will love you until the cows come home……..and the clover has lost its perfume.

@Arelene- You are in my thoughts & prayers!
@KG & TN- thank you both for being a friend! I was overwhelmed by both of your comments.I love you!
@Susan in Tn- Love to you sweet, funny one!
All – who sent me private yahoo mail. I am having problems with that account.Internet explorer keeps closing it moments after I log on. I managed to get on to read the top of a few of your e-mails, but not all of any. I hope to get it fixed & respond. FB is doing the same thing.
@Barbara Wood – One of my favorite breeds.I love that story you shared.
@Sarah Powel- a very belated thank you for your kind words. It was at a time I really needed to hear that.
@Ann from Paramont- Welcome back!!
@Dottie- THANK YOU!! MAY YOU KNOW ALL THE JOY YOU GIVE US!

Hi Zeny: What an adorable picture of you and Tasty Temptation. Happy to see you are both doing well. As always thanks to Dottie and your team for keeping us posted so we never have to worry about you and for wonderful lessons and stories we learn from them and all who contribute to your website. Hugs and prayers, Marilu
Arlene
Hi Zenny & All,
This is Arlene from Vermont. We got hit worse than some!! Our house got flooded up to baseboard on first floor above cellar. So have a muddy house. Some houses were completely lost in my town. Lots of Roads washed out. Our two vehicles got flood damage do expect them to be totalled. Thank you for your concern and prayers. We are still without power or phone. So I’m at the library to drop you all a quick message. Got a lot to do to throw out damaged things and clean up the house. Anyone else in Dumplinghood have hurricane or flood problems? I’ll post again when I can. LOL & Prayers, Arlene
Georgia Harper
Dear Zen, its so nice to have good friends you and TT look so happy together.
@Nina Kaiser yes that would be a grand idea for a sculpture. I am working on the spot for your wonderful statue that you did and will send you a picture once all the pieces come together.
hugs to all
Doreen
Zenny – what a sweet picture of you and your friend Tasty Temptation. It is good to see the both of you with your healthy and dappled coats.
@LauraJ – my sincerest apologies. I meant for my post to be directed to “Linda in NJ” and not to you. It was a long first day at college yesterday as well as a worrisome and somewhat sleepless weekend.
@Barbara Wood – your request is on the way. Loved the cute video of Gus.
tony and sue
@Arlene, we have been watching news stories about the horrible flooding in Vermond. Our hearts go out to you…the damage must be devastating. We sincerely hope things get better for you soon.
Zenny, what a gorgeous picture of you and TT. Two girls taking care of one another…this is just “too cute”.
tony and sue
opps, excuse the spelling…we should have said Vermont.

@Kari Bussell-For you, I hope the poets never run out of rhymes. Here are two short jokes for today–One summer evening nduring a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear.” she said. I have to sleep in daddy’s room.” A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice. “The big sissy,” he said. #2-Mr. Johnson, a businessman from Wisconsin, went on a business trip to Louisiana. He immediately sent an e-mail back home to his wife Jennifer (JenJohnson@aol.com). Unfortunately, he forgot his wife’s exact e-mail address and the em-mail ended up going to a Mrs. Joan Johnson (JJohnson@aol.com) of New Jersey, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away. The preacher’s wife took one look at the e-mail and promptly fainted. When she was revived by her daughter, she nervously pointed to the message, which read: “arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here.” Just for fun, a rule to live by–If you want someone to listen to you, whisper it.
Susan in TN
@Arlene: Glad you are okay but so sorry about your mess! Keep LOL’ing and praying!
@Terry Crow: Funny!(said in a whisper)
@Doreen: What are you studying? Congrats!
