Meet the dog  members of our family....... Daisy Mae May 15, 2004 adopted from the  Arizona Humane Society Big brother Luke with Lilly Mae, May 2008    Big sister, Daisy Mae with Lilly Mae,  June 2008 Daisy and Luke opening Christmas presents -- they got new beds and yummy treats -- Luke seems to be wondering what Daisy has in her package.  He is faster opening his presents than she is -- Christmas 2006.

Sadly we have had to say good-bye to Luke -- he had started having seizures last October and even with medication he had one over Memorial Day weekend.  He was having a harder and harder time getting up and required assistance most of the time.  We had been thinking about letting him go and the last seizure on that Sunday was the deciding factor for me.  He was   so disoriented when he came out of the seizures and had trouble moving around for a good hour afterwards.  It was a heartbreaking experience each time.  He was only 11 1/2 years old and he is missed by all.......  Daisy has grown up to be as tall as big brother, Luke.  December 2006. The photo below was taken shortly after getting Daisy in May 2004 -- she has really grown!

2007 ended for us with a surprise purchase of a 5 year old mare, MP Emma!  "Emma" came here in June for boarding and we connected almost immediately.  Not having been handled very much, I spent a lot of time getting her confidence and found out how sweet she was and how she loved attention and what a quick learner she was.  She came up for sale around the first of December and there were a couple of people interested in her.  I couldn't get the thought out of my mind that I should buy her even though my body is wearing out and I already have 3 horses!   But the thought wouldn't leave and the seller made me and a friend an offer we couldn't refuse.  She is in foal, but the foal will go back to the seller. So Paul and I and our friend, Marsha, now own this beautiful mare -- what an exciting 2008 we will have!  I have learned never say never! MEET MP EMMA Our youngest grand daughter, Madeline, is giving Emma lots of attention.  More phots are on "Our Facilities"  Page ZA Star Zapphire (Taffy), pictured here in May 2006 , has an updated website all of her own -- check it out!

Washington Avenue Gilbert, AZ 85234 480-892-1260 Hi Mom Mary, Look where Auntie Meg and I went this morning! I had so much fun! Megan woke me up this morning at 5am and we were at the river by 6am and stayed until 10am - I am soooo tired (well, Megan is probably way more tired than me!) We played in the water and I even got to see four deer! They weren't even that scary! I think this is the same place that I went when I was little, but I'm not sure. I didn't want to go in at first, but the water felt so good on this warm day. I even drank and splashed in it and there was some grass floating down the river and I grabbed it and had a snack! My new friend Whiskey went with us and he had fun too! Love, Kaladdinn    (June 2007, age 9 years old) Back to the river -- Sept 2007
