Have you not heard of the song; It never rains in socal it pours”? And it snows and jails too. A horse had to be put down after the race yesterday. Last year, they cancelled four days of racing due to rain.

Dear Z Fans:
Wow, congrats to Harvey Wallbanger AND ken McPeak. Won the Holy Bull today and paid $61 change. Everfast finished 2nd and paid $81 in the middle. Favorite Maximus Mischief finished third. Looks like we’re in for a wild ride in the preps to the Triple Crown this year. Love and Hugs, JB

Judy,
Saw the video of Harvey Wallbanger’s race. Amazing. Another one to watch for the Derby. Everfast looked good too. Tax, a son of Arch, bred by Claiborne and raced by Muchie’s owners won his race too.
I am so happy for Mucho Gusto! He is quite the man.
Be interesting to see Steve Haskins Derby Dozen this week.
Enjoy watching the Super Bowl. I do have to say it would be hard to bet against New England. As for me, I am going to watch the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.
Our high today is supposed to be high 50s!
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
Happy for Gusto and Muchie too. Also for Kenny McPeek; good trainer and man.
Read about Tax. He was a $50,000 Claimer. Happy for him.
We’ll see if the Pats can do it again. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Shirlee and Z Fans:
I was reading about this year’s Puppy Bow on AP. Senior participants are up for adoption and one of them is a 16 year old Poodle mix named Karlie. Hope they all find loving homes. Here’s the article. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Shirlee,
I always choose the Puppy Bowl! I watched the Dog Bowl last night, and I will see the Puppy Bowl at least a couple of times this evening since they repeat it.
Go Puppies!
Congrats to Mucho Gusto!
Hugs and Love
Ann NC
Wow. Starting off with a bang!
Love those names, too. Congrats to those three. Maximus Mischief could be related to your Charlie, JB?

I am glad that Zenyatta’s filly finally has a name. And not to be negative or anything, I am not big on the name but I think calling her Zel for short is cute. I am glad they are taking it slow with her.

Rebecca Magnuson
I am glad Zenyatta’s filly finally has a name even though I am not a huge fan of that name(not to be negative) but I do like the option of calling her Zel or Zella for short. She reminds me so much of Zenyatta.
Rebecca Magnuson
Sorry about this being posted twice. I don’t know how that happened.

On this day in 1952 Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne.She was just 25yrs old.67yrs later Her Majesty is the one constant in our ever changing troubled world.She is an example to us all never putting a foot wrong.Unlike the younger members of her family there is still an air of mystery about her as it should be.We know the Queen yet we don’t.Long may she to continue to reign.God bless you Ma’am
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Thank you for posting this reminder. I agree with you completely. Congratulations on this outstanding accomplishment — a matchless role model and representative of her country.
Continued good health to Her Majesty!
Best Wishes always.

Dear Sheena:

Best Wishes to the Queen. She is the most admired woman today. England has been blessed with two great queens, the two Elizabeths.
Donna Z
Dear Z friends,
Amy passed over the Rainbow Bridge this morning aided by the caring hands of her Dr. Mike.
I decided to forego the x-ray I had planned on having him do because she had been continuing downhill. I felt that even if we did find something else causing her decline (possibly a tumor) that there was nothing else we could do to help her.
When I talked with her this morning telling her how much I love her, she gave me a look of complete trust, which let me know that I was making the right decision for her.
Cappy & I will miss our very special girl, but I feel better knowing that Amy is no longer suffering and is enjoying all the happiness of heaven with all of our other fur babies who we have allowed to go to the better place we call Heaven.
I am very thankful for the special gift and blessing of Amy that God shared with me for almost ten years and my life is much richer for being able to share that time with her.
Kathy
Dear Donna Z,
I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so hard to lose our beloved furry companions. You gave Amy so much love and she absolutely trusted you to do right by her. She will be waiting for you in Heaven!
Judy Berube
Dear Donna Z:
My heart goes out to you and Cappy. Rest In Peace beautiful Amy; pain free in God’s care. Love and Hugs, JB ?
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Donna Z.,
I just read your post, and I am so sorry for your loss. You loved Amy and did everything you could to make her better — Amy knows that. The memories you two created will comfort you, and she will be waiting to greet you and Cappy when the time comes. Meanwhile, please know your friends here on Z’s blog share your sorrow and send loving thoughts to Cappy and you. RIP, sweet Amy.
Hugs and Love ❤️
Judy Berube
Dear Z, COZ, ZI, ZEL and DC:
Have a pleasant evening and Happy Dreams. Love all of you so much. Hugs, JB
Sheena Davies
Dear Donna Z.I am sorry to learn that Amy has died.RIP.I know you had 10 wonderful years with her and those memories will bring you great comfort.Love and hugs.
