Dottie thank you doesn’t even begin to cover how much we appreciate you and also bringing Z a human voice.
To friends here and to others who feel more like aquaintences I hope we can can become more like Internet friends. We all have several things I common. Our love for Z. Our love and concern for her baby to be. Our love and appreciation to all of Team Z. They all sound like good building blocks to me.

Thanksgiving is a special day and wasn’t it on Thanksgiving several years ago that you ran your first race? I recall watching you while I was cooking and think it was Thanksgiving. You are certainly a blessing to so many and a spirit to be cherished forever. Special thanks to Dottie for tirelessly giving us all the updates that we so much appreciate. So glad you are still a part of my daily life even in retirement.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and to the Queen and Tasty Temptation. Dottie, Sophie Shirreffs is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. What a hoot! Love seeing pictures of her. She is so well behaved from all appearances. Makes me wonder where I went wrong with Ralphy (my miniature schnauzer). Sitting still for a picture is a total impossibility. I hope all Zenyatta’s connections have a wonderful day!
Paula Higgins
It seems I can’t even spell my own name. It is Higgins not Higins (above) LOL.

Hi dear Zenny, we just had to check in before our guests arrive today and here you are spreading your special joy and love.
May God continue to bless you and your team throughout the coming year. Little Z/B is so fortunate to come into such a nurturing and caring world. Give TT a high goof from us. She apparently has become a big part of your new life…all seems well!
