Roxie

Hey there….was just thinking about the blessing that you guys bestowed upon us by allowing me and my boys to adopt this wonderful dog. I know it’s been a while since you’ve had an update but I wanted to let you know that Roxie is as beautiful and perfect as ever!!! Around this time last year, I had a moment of weakness and ended up bringing home a puppy (we had a litter of TEN by a stray at work, and thankfully we found them all homes! Yay!!) Mia found her way into Roxie’s heart, which really wasn’t too very hard because Roxanne was such a laid back, loving dog anyway….but Mia has been just the trick to keep Rox young…..I am attaching a couple of pictures, one is of Mia and Roxie in the car-notice how Mia has her paw on Roxie, she always stays close by and the other is Rox performing her trick-sitting up and begging for food, eating is definitely her favorite hobby!! I will send more soon, you must put her on the Happy Endings Page because she has definitely made our lives much brighter!! I look at her every day and marvel at how beautiful she is. I wouldn’t trade her for the world!

Raine

Raine is doing wonderfully. We got him a turn-out coat and it didn't take too long for him to accept it. We started off by showing it to him, hanging it on the rail of his stall, putting it under his feed bucket (that boy loves to eat!), then laying it on his back and eventually sliding it over his shoulders. We started that a while before the snow started, cold is one thing, cold and wet entirely another! Anyway, he now wears his coat like a pro, I swear he gives a hugh "huff" of pleasure as you dress him! He's plump, well, rotund actually -- they all have free access to hay and Raine's been getting 2qts of grain 2x, so we've cut down on his grain a little. He and my mare have really bonded, she voluntarily hangs out with him, and they're usually side-by-side at the hay ring. He's even got the old, staid QH qelding, Harley, to play! Having a baby around is alot of fun. Everyone who comes over wants to meet him and as a result, he's getting alot of great exposure and is quite the personable character. Thank you again for choosing us for his family. Take care of yourselves and all your charges, you're doing wonderful and necessary work. Leslie
