Good Morning,
It is now just a few days before Christmas! SOPHIE looks like she is anxiously awaiting her presents from Santa Claus. I know she received a big package from STELLA and VIOLET last Friday…as they were busy sending out their holiday gifts. Rumor has it she opened them all immediately ! You know how it is….she just couldn’t wait!
Oh, look….I think I’m in the picture right next to SOPHIE! I so adore the fact that I am truly very special to my California families!
I know my BARN 55 pals still think of ME often! As MY JOHN said to Dottie just last night….ZENYATTA will always be a big part of our lives and in our hearts….ALWAYS!
May all of you who are busy with this year’s HOLIDAY RUSH take some extra time to enjoy spending special moments with your loved ones. Our wish is that you are ALL blessed with great health and many memorable and happy moments during this holiday season and throughout 2012!
With Love,
Hugs to All~(A special big hug from the SHIRREFFS’ HOUSEHOLD TO YOURS this holiday season!)

Wishing you, Zenny, and all your families…both horse and human…all the best in the coming new year. It’s going to be especially exciting with new babies for you and TT and my other favorite girl, Rachel A.
It’s lovely here in Bandera County today after a wonderful rain last night.
Merry Christmas all.

You know Big Mama Z., now that you’re waaaaaay over there in Kentucky, we California fans are starting to get attached to Sophie. I think I need to pet her one of these times. That is such a sweet picture of her during Christmas. I noticed the Zenyatta picture next to her. Love to the Shirreffs (and as always, props to Dottie for all the time she spends keeping us fans in the loop!) as well as The Mosses for an awesome Christmas and fantastic 2012. It’s great to be a Zenyatta fan! XOOX to you too, big girl!
