Happy Friday, Everyone!
It is amazing how things in one’s life can change so much in just several hours. Here I am late yesterday afternoon with Ann and Jerry posing for this photo…..and then a few hours later….I became a MOM!
Shortly after this picture was taken, the Moss’ left for dinner. All was quiet in my life and it seemed like we’d all have a relaxing evening. Then suddenly things started to change!
A few hours later, Mike Cline called Ann and Jerry to let them know I was feeling a bit restless and I could possibly foal later that evening.
Jerry immediately called MY JOHN and Dottie in California… and everyone started to PACE. Shortly after this, my water broke…and my lovely FOAL was bornat 10:10 last evening. As I’ve said so many times before, NATURE IS TRULY AMAZING!
HE IS ADORABLE, I AM SO EXCITED…and I AM SO BLESSED!
I am one who likes to LICK. It is a habit I developed somewhere along the way in my life. As you may remember, I used to lick MY MARIO’S face all of the time after I won a race. Thus, licking my dear foal seems like second nature to ME.
He is one handsome guy and I am now beginning to see that he and I will be embarking on an entire new journey as the future unfolds.
With Love,
Hugs to All~ (I’M A MOM!)

Lanes End FB page is reporting that they had six foals last night and Zenyatta made hers the very last one. TOO CUTE!!!!
POOR Dottie, Now she has two superstars to write about every day. I can’t wait to see his first video in a few weeks were he is running and jumping up and down. Gosh, I love to see the foals frollicking around and running with mama.

Everyone’s grinning ear-to-big-ears! Congratulations to all Zenyatta’s connections. I’m so relieved it went smoothly and that she’s going to be an excellent mom. It’s been quite a feat to get onto the diary page – no wonder with over 100,000 FB fans trying to connect! Our thoughts are with you in pure joy! Now more than ever, we’ll be watching for updates, photos and video! Many blessing to you, Dottie, and to Ann & Jerry too, for sharing these precious moments and your thoughts with Zenyatta’s legions of fans. [We’ll be cheering for Blingo in the San Felipe Stakes tomorrow, you betcha!!!!]

Realized through your lovely colt. So glad it is a boy.

Congratulations again! He is beautiful!
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
Congratulations again, Zenyatta and all of Team Z. It will be exciting to see what name they choose from their music library. They certainly gave the QUEEN a winning one. Perhaps he’ll have a nickname until his personality tells them the name that best suits him. Can’t wait for the next photos.
