    Dear Judy and Z friends

    My Night Prowler with Javier Costellano on board run on this Saturday. Wouldn’t you know it right side of Uncle Johnny and Dubai Sky I believe. It’s the Palm Beach Stakes at Gulf Stream race 11, 530

    Max sure hope your right about Javier. Sure hope he takes care of my boy. Uncle johnny is one of my favorite jockeys too. But, now when he’s riding against NP, well what can I say, sorry Johnny. Go Night Prowler, God Speed to all.

      Dear Peggy:

      JV is one of my favorite jockeys too, but I’m rooting for your NP. Godspeed to him; safe and sound all. Love and Hugs, JB

      Javier was the number 1 winning jockey in the US last year. He just passed his 4000th win in February. He’s not riding The Beast this weekend. NR will be well cared for by Javier.

      Peggy,
      That dratted Johnny V has beaten my favorites so many times, I can’t count them all. At least he is a quality person as well as rider. Eases the pain somewhat. Safe trip to My Night Prowler.

    Have a lovely night, everyone!
    I will sleep much better tonight — my electricity went off at 2:10 this morning. The heavy snowfall we got last night and this morning was very wet and stuck to all trees and shrubbery. The pines lost a lot of branches which caused the power to go out. The other side of the street didn’t lose power; this is typical for those of us on my side. We are always last to have power restored, too. I guess you could say we are in a donut hole because all around us have lights. This frustrating situation affects about 124 homes so we are not high priority usually. Duke Energy called with updates to say that we would have power restored by 9 PM, Friday the 27th! Surprisingly, about 7:30 tonight, the electricity came back on! YAY!!!!! My gas logs kept us really toasty, thankfully, but it sure is wonderful to have the lights and heat back to normal.
    Sweet dreams to all!
    Hugs and Love

      Dear Marshall:

      So glad your heat and electricity are back up and running. Hope we’ve seen the last of the big snow storms. Love and Hugs to you, Bailey and Huey from me and Lola Mae.

      Dear Marshall and pups,
      Glad your power was restored. Some of my friends are still without.
      Am in MD hunting down, I’myoursugardaddy but have been keeping my Carolina buddies in my thoughts. Love and hugs.

        Dear Judy B., Peggy (N), Elizabeth in NM, and Ann NC,
        Thanks for your responses! The power outage sure ruined my plans for the snow-day. Was planning to make a pot of soup, watch some TV, check this Blog, and walk with the pups in the snow. Bailey was ecstatic over the white stuff! Running in big circles, sniffing in the snow, exploring the fallen branches, leaping around and then running in circles again. Huey thinks she is nuts, but he enjoyed the snow, too.

        Ann, good luck in the I’myoursugardaddy hunt! Sounds like a fun thing. Happy hunting!

        Hugs and Love

      Hi everyone, Have been in ‘no Zenyatta land’ for 5 days – computer was acting up. Finally got it back to normal and am so happy to be able to read everyone’s posts – which I’ll do next. Zenyatta, your website is such a blessing. It’s worse than going on a diet to ‘not’ to be able to read about you and your fan family! Hope everyone has been staying warm and safe in all of this winter weather. Well – going to start catching up on all of your posts. with love, Elizabeth
      PS BGG – can’t wait to catch up on all of the foal pics too!

      Dear Sheena,
      Thanks for our Hovis update! Poor guy, what a world, what a world!
      Hope this procedure works, and that Hovis is “in the pink” again — better make that “in the blue” or any macho color of his choice. :-)
      Hugs and Love

      Dear Sheena:

      Poor Hovis. I hope he feels better soon and that his “feathers” grow back quickly. That is a really handsome photo of him. Wish he felt as good as he looks. Love and Hugs, JB

    Winter storms affect things of nature the same way human storms affect us. Differences are forgotten when the problem is a common one.
    Meadowlarks and doves that usually keep to the open fields come down to feed with cardinal and titmouse. Finches and bluejays, though very different in size and temperament, feed together peaceably. The food is there in one spot and there is little dissension about who sits at the table.
    If they serve no other purpose, strenuous times are great equalizers. They put people on a common basis with a common issue-to make it through. Where people survive together there is a bond of understanding. They learn to support and to look out for each other.

    In my youthful days, I have seen large herds of buffalo…and elk in every grove, but they are here no more…all having gone toward the setting sun.

    Dear Sheena,

    Poor Hovis, I can’t imagine why his bandages didn’t match.Yes, prayers that Diane is recovering. Sure miss our Zoe! Still have to visit Mango. A cautionary tale for all of us! If we eat too many cookies we’ll have to get larger size tu-tus! Congratulations My Miss Kitty Face on 1 year with FB pretty soon. She sure accumulated a lot of likeys! Glad Teddy has a good supply of food. Glad Loki curled up. Always thankful for good signs! Good luck to Theba trapping the feral cat. Sure loved the pic of Tom and Joey. I’m sure Boo got a nice treat from Human. Wonder how Buddy and Blue are? Over on Marty’s page Sarah re-posted that pic of Marty sleeping with his cute little stuffed mouse. We’re maybe going to have some rain. Very excited the Dyfi is opening! TGIF and have a wonderful weekend. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy.

      He looks really good. Thanks for the post. Still needs extensions for his little tail.

      Does anyone know how fast a horse’s tail grows?

    Dear Marshall.So glad you got your power back earlier than anticipated and hope the storms are over for this winter,at least.Poor Hovis has certainly had”one of those days”but at least his socks are matching this week!Hope Bailey and Huey are getting on well and are enjoying the snow!Love Hugs and woofs to you Bailey and Huey.Sheena.

      Dear Sheena,
      Thanks for your post. Huey and Bailey are doing very well and have been enjoying the snow a lot. They have been sniffing quite a bit — I think the snow enhances the scents of nature. Bailey has been running around in the snow and leaping over fallen branches. She is so funny playing in the snow. Huey walks around checking things out, and he continues to think his sisfur is nutty. They do like each other, though.

      We may be getting some more precipitation tomorrow — a mix they say. I just hope we do not get any freezing rain since that is what usually causes power outages.

      Have a nice Sunday!
      Hugs and Woofs along with Love

    Dear Shirlee, I know what you mean about Johnny V. He breaks from the gate right next to my Night Prowler tomorrow. Oh My. But NP, has this great ability at times to kick into high gear at the end of the race. Sure hope he can do it tomorrow.
    Shirlee I’m a big fan of your Munchi too and his whole connection team. Think the Reeves are just great for the sport.

    Dear Max

    Thank you so much for the recent beautiful picture of our Wise Dan. Just Gorgeous. So good to see this picture of him. I miss him.

    I was just thinking about when John was trying to coax Life Is Sweet to get up from her rest. He was telling her get up little girl you’ve got to go to work. I guess i’m just wanting to coax Wise Dan to come on and go to work too. Although know Charlie will know if and when it’s time to bring him back. Know we all love him so.
    He and my Night Prowler remind me of each other.

    We can’t always gear our lives to the desires of others. And that doesn’t mean we should be difficult or hard to get along with. It does mean there is a time to make it easy on ourselves.
    Take a few steps. When life crowds in, it is time to quit giving the impression of being superhuman. Going the extra mile has always been important, but we have days when someone else needs to go that extra mile and give us relief.
    It is somewhat like breathing-there’s a time to inhale and a time to exhale.

    You hear of us as murderers and thieves. We are not so. If we had more lands to give you, we would give them, but we have no more.

    Dear Sheena,

    I get to work today! YAY! Good news from Zoe’s page. Mommy got to come home already! It’s always much more preferable to be at home. I know Zoe is taking good care of her. Praying Diane feels better each passing day. Seems the ratties are baking cookies. Looking forward to seeing the new permanent family members! All is well with all the other FB furbabies I’ve checked on so far. Have a wonderful weekend. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy.
