HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY ROSE – WE LOVE YOU!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHNhNAKh8Qs
Jenny visited today and helped get Betsy Rose ready for her big day!
Lynn Lawrence and Kathy Prevatt helped get Betsy Rose ready with decorations.
Bob made one last trip to the post office and voila! Lots of birthday cards arrived today! Betsy Rose loves each and every one of them! We hung them up over her birthday table to surprise her! When we take them down, we will read each and every card to her – she thanks everyone very much!
Let the party begin!
"Vermont Teddy Bear can you believe this birthday party? Look at all the cards! And the cakes and gifts! Our human friends really do love us – all of us! Do you realize that on this day a year ago I was very, very close to Rainbow Bridge? I was so weak – I was on the ground in a corner, unable to get up, and I heard the humans talking about "putting me down" and how they didn’t know why I was in such bad shape. How could they have not seen me starving to death over the months? They said I was too far gone to help but I never stopped believing that help would come. Giving up just wasn’t an option – I’m glad Mommy Theresa believed too and sent angels to pick me up and bring me here – this is my home, always. I love you all!"
She loves her cake!
"Auntie Blodwyn made be the BEST carrot cake in the world!! And there was carrot cake for the humans too! And lots and lots of carrots for my friends!"
The carrot cakes were yummy! Thank you Blodwyn and Bill Newton!
"How do you like my very special visor?"
Kiana had a great time too – we all did! She’s looking forward to her first birthday party next year.
"Hold on Mommy Theresa – I have something I want you to post to our friends for me, ok? I got presents and lots of cards today which I really appreciate – I feel very special! But I have an idea I want to share! Here’s a hint – it’s about carats!"
"Ok Betsy Rose – it’s your day – go for it!"
Betsy Rose has something to share – more details can be found at this webpage:

Kiana’s birthday present to Betsy Rose – watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ5hAKNMr2I&feature=youtu.be
Ok, so someone obviously told Kiana about the "Cricket Dance"! That’s a little thing Aaleyah Belle started when she was a baby and every baby that has lived here has learned it too. Kiana still needs to work on it a bit but she’s trying!
Good night everyone!

Theresa

BHFER July 8 th – 13th Update
July 8th
Another busy day here but I wanted to start everyone’s day out with a smile! Kiana is doing just fine! This makes my heart sing! Kiana has settled in to her new adoptive home nicely! Go Kiana! So proud of you!
Yes, Kiana is loved! I can’t tell you how hard I pray, often, that all horses could live like this. No worries in the world.
Donovan got his acupuncture treatment this afternoon (thank you Elizabeth and Corrine!). Hopefully, he will start sweating again (soon) just as quickly as he stopped. Thank you Marie Riordan for staying late to help Dr. Julia! Donovan has had some bad luck lately – in addition no longer sweating, he injured the inside of his back right right foot just above the coronet band a few days ago. It’s going to take some time to heal and we’ll be having to doctor it twice a day. It’s a really good thing that he just stands and lets us do what we need to do.
If he wasn’t so big I think he’d try to climb in my lap.
Gentleman really loves it when Dr. Julia works on him. And she looks forward to his appointments – he’s another big love! Thank you Janet for sponsoring his treatments!
I had a good talk with them and gave them some nose kisses before they loaded up to go home today. It just isn’t the same, already, without Oscar and Pistol there to meet us at the side door to the office.
As expected – Oscar and Pistol loaded themselves! LOL! These guys, and the mini’s, love to explore new trailers that come in.
Somewhere out there is the perfect home for Serenity and Bryce. I need you all to help us find it. I don’t even want to think about separating them – they are family. Please share them and let’s find them a good forever home.
July 9th
I sure did miss the sound of the 2 am party this morning – and the greeting that we normally get when we leave the house to go to the barn. Love these guys!
Another busy day here that’s coming to an end and I’m looking forward to a shower and bed. Have a good night everyone!
July 10th
Silly ears!
Pistol and Oscar have new toys – they have settled in to their new home just fine! I’m very happy for them but boy, it truly isn’t the same here. And little JoJo – he wants a playmate badly. He’s growing up fast – he has teeth now!
July 11th
Believe me when I say that JoJo needs a donkey friend!
JoJo is still trying to perfect his version of the cricket dance. LOL
July 12th
Everyone lines up for breakfast!
Well, this is something we don’t see on our little road very often. I don’t know how they ended up here but they had to back up all the way back down to the highway. The artwork was beautiful!
"Hello everyone! Remember me? I’m little Bronson – I’m growing up! Mommy Theresa says I’m ready for my forever home! I’m glad I came here to grow up a bit and I and got to meet new friends – but now I’m ready for a new life adventure with my own human! I’m really a good boy!"
July 13th
I wanted to post an update with pics from the weekend but things have been crazy so this will be short. We had a really bad storm yesterday – lightening and thunder were horrible. One of the horses crashed through a gate (he’s ok), a surg…e protector in a storage building got fried (all the circuit breakers tripped) which took down the electric charger for the fencing, a piece of computer equipment in the office got fried, and the wiring between the house and the barn for the camera system may have been zapped (still trying to figure this one out). But our concern is Victoria. She’s an Arabian that is always animated but this morning she didn’t want to move and something just wasn’t right. When we walked her, she was unstable in the rear and her demeanor just isn’t right – the problem appears neurological. She was fine before the storm (we did have another storm in the night). She’s been in a small paddock behind the barn all day where we can observe her – she is eating and drinking but she’s not herself. Dr. Julia will be out in the morning to examine Victoria. Please keep her in your prayers. I don’t know what tomorrow’s cost is going to be but would anyone like to help sponsor Victoria’s exam and treatment tomorrow? We could take pledges.
This was Little E this morning. He is a 30+ year old Arabian that was struck by lightening before coming to the rescue a few years ago.

JoJo Meets Gentleman Up Close, Kiana’s Adoption, and More
July 5th
“Mommy Theresa it’s time for breakfast! Let’s get the day going – we’re already a couple of hours behind!”
Kylie and I just tried a different mask on JoJo and he showed his disgust by literally throwing himself down and having a fit! Silly boy!
July 6th
It was a busy weekend here – I’ll try to get an update out tomorrow evening. I have PT in the morning and Kiana will be going to her new home tomorrow. Today Kiana grazed up on Frosty’s Knoll while Betsy Rose wandered around the house to graze. Yesterday Kiana played with the mini’s for awhile – she didn’t even notice when Betsy Rose wandered back to the barn to take a nap by the fan. I’m so glad that Jody and her family have been coming to spend time with Kiana – it will make the transition easier for her. As for us humans that are watching her go, well, I keep telling myself that this is what we do. With help from others we did our part with Kiana and now it’s time for her to start her next chapter in life – but she’ll always be part of our family. And she’ll only be 30 minutes away. Have a good night everyone.
This is JoJo going exploring with Sylvie. He’s so funny!
Kiana, Cookie, and Betsy.
July 7th
I never say good-bye – they are part of our family, always. It’s always hard when they go.
Kiana settled into her new home today without any concerns. We’re so proud of this little filly!
“You’re Gentleman! Oh my gosh – you’re so big up close and personal! You look a lot like Donovan! I’m JoJo and Freckles told me all about you and the others! She says you’re the senior here. Well, I’m the junior! Can we pal around sometimes? Why is Mommy Theresa putting braids in your mane? That’s ok – they put a little blue bow on my butt one day. The humans thought it was cute!”
This is Judy holding Donovan so I could hose him down and treat a new boo boo on his back leg. He has stopped sweating and is staying in under fans during the days now.
Betsy Rose – gotta love her! She’s so expressive!
Oscar and Pistol will be going to their new adoptive home tomorrow. It just isn’t going to be the same here. Kiana and now these two. But – this is what we do. These two will literally be just down the road, less than 2 miles away. They are going to a friend of Dr. Julia’s and we’ll get updates and photos often. I’m so glad they found a home together.
A VERY SPECIAL FUNDRAISER!

The 4th of July at Beauty’s Haven
Look at these itty bitty feet! JoJo getting a lesson on picking his feet up and keeping them up for a couple of minutes. Future farriers will appreciate this.
JoJo has trained us humans to open the door when he knocks.
Betsy Rose was painfully thin at this time last year. She lived in a sling for the first 2 months after she arrived. We had to do just about everything for her. But she was determined and she believed in herself. We believed in her too.
Betsy Rose was a walking anatomy lesson – the vet’s couldn’t believe she was defying the odds. She’s a survivor.
On this day last year, we wrapped a red, white, and blue sheet under her and took her out of the sling. It was her Independence Day walk! Oh man – we are so proud of this little mare!
Betsy Rose and Kiana racing happily on June 23rd, just one year after Betsy’s arrival at Beauty’s Haven
JoJo also got his first halter lesson yesterday – not sure he was very happy about it.
JoJo is getting all sorts of desensitizing! He got a much needed warm bath (medicated) to help treat his rain rot today. Poor boy has it all under his pretty white coat that causes him to itch. Popper also got a bath – unlike JoJo, Popper loves the water. Actually, JoJo didn’t seem to mind very much. This was his 2nd bath.
Kitty Kat, another rescue from a few years ago, loves to engage in conversations with anyone that will talk to him. He talked with Roxy for quite awhile today.
"Duke – the fireworks are coming! I don’t know what that means but Mommy Theresa says we’ll know it starts!"
"Kiana! The fireworks are coming! Have no worries and have no fear! Little JoJo is here! This is my first Independence Day too but I think it’s going to be fun! Noises and bright lights don’t bother me! I can’t wait!"
Oh Lord. Here we go. Snap. Crackle. Pop. Boom!
"Betsy Rose come on! Let’s go see the fireworks! Don’t you hear them go kaboom? I haven’t seen anything in the sky yet though. Well, there was some lightening. I think it was lightening. Come on! This is my first ever Independence Day!"
"Happy 4th of July everyone! It’s Independence Day! JoJo and Kiana are anxiously waiting for the fireworks – there’s lots of booms going on all around and there’s been a few bright flashes of light but no real fireworks that we can see yet. I hope the kids aren’t disappointed."
"It’s over? Really? That’s it? The snap, crackle, pop, kaboom’s are over? I didn’t see all the big flashy things we were supposed to see? How did I miss them? Kiana – did you see them? What happened???"
"Sorry JoJo – Auntie Lynn texted and said the Williston city fireworks were rescheduled for tomorrow night. What we heard and saw tonight were just neighbors setting off little fireworks and noise makers. So tonight was just sort of a practice to get ready for tomorrow night. Now everyone can get some rest, ok? Freckles is waiting in your stall for you – she’s got a story to tell you about Betsy Rose’s Independence Day walk last year."
Have a safe and blessed 4th of July weekend everyone!

Theresa

BH Update June 29- July 2, 2014
CJ and his BFF – thank you Elizabeth for giving him a forever home and lots of TLC!
Look how tall and strong Kiana is standing!
Some happy news – we have an adoption application for Oscar and Pistol TOGETHER and they would only be a mile from the farm. I’ve already done the site check and so far everything is awesome! These two are hilarious – we will for sure miss them and their antics. I’ll update once the application is processed! This is Kylie trying to get a sandbag back that they “borrowed”. These boys like to play drums on the empty poop buckets every morning around 2 am.
Auntie Barb had a blast with JoJo this weekend. The little guy wants someone to play with.
Bob brought JoJo up to the house to visit with me! He’s so stinking cute!
JoJo even sang to me while he was here!
Betsy Rose out for a walk.
JoJo is about the same size as Donovan’s head!
Another day coming to an end. Storms can’t decide to come or go.
Remember Silver Belle? Look how beautiful she is! She was one of the three babies that Momma Sue raised. When we picked Silver Belle up as an orphan baby in 2008 she had several big injuries – one in her chest, one on her side, and her left leg/knee. But look at her now!
We’ve had this fundraiser ongoing for awhile but one of the bills included in the total amount needed is due so I’m going to keep bumping this until we can raise at least $1700 to pay for Sisco’s eye injury bill. My stress meter is sky high to get this done. So, please share with family and friends. We need help. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Thank you.

Babies JoJo and Kiana, Betsy Rose, and Many More!
Friday, June 27th, 2014
Finally! He’s got it figured out! No more 2 am wakeups! Go JoJo!
Take your donkey to work day! He’s a good helper!
A bittersweet update on Kiana. The family that fosters Bella has been coming to spend time with Kiana over the past few weeks and they have totally fallen in love with her and Kiana looks forward to their visits. Kiana is doing great – she’s more active and independent each day. We’ve been turning her out with the boys to play with because she’s just become too energetic for Betsy Rose. Kiana likes to run and kick and play like babies should – and it’s a wonderful and warm sight to see! Sometimes, we lock up the mini’s and donkeys that stay around the house and let Betsy Rose and Kiana out together and Betsy Rose will run with Kiana too. But I won’t risk Betsy Rose out with most of the others – she is too fragile. Her hearing and sight are not great and she startles easy. Betsy is fine about Kiana spending time out with the young ones – she doesn’t fret nor does she get anxious when Kiana is out of her sight. Betsy is a wise healer of sorts and will be here to help future arrivals. I think this was her destiny and she knows it. I thank God for her each and every day.
I assure you that nobody could love Betsy Rose or Kiana and care more about their welfare than we do. This decision wasn’t a quick one – it’s taken some time, observation, and prayers but Kiana is ready for her forever home and we love her enough to allow her to go – she deserves this. Jody home schools her sons and there is someone home around the clock. They have a mare with a baby that is about Kiana’s age. Their farm is beautiful and it isn’t far from the rescue. They will keep us updated. This is never easy. But this is what we do – we must in order to make room for others that need help. Jody and her family will be here again tomorrow to spend more time with Kiana. We have other visitors coming tomorrow too – it’s going to be busy!
Kiana palled around with Lucy a bit this afternoon. It was so hot and humid today, the boys didn’t even run and play. We have 3 sets of visitors coming tomorrow – I sure hope and pray the weather is a bit kinder than today.
Kiana has had a growth spurt. She got a hooficure yesterday. She’s also starting to get some needed muscles from running and playing with the mini’s and donkeys.
Saturday, June 28th
“JoJo it’s time for you to go back in your room now. The morning sun is out and Kiana wants to come out for awhile.”
“Ok Betsy Rose. I’m ready for a nap anyway. I helped mommy Theresa and Kiley with morning barn chores while you and Kiana had breakfast. It’s gonna feel like 106 today – we’re all going to bake!”
It was a very busy day today – lots of visitors and smiles! I love to see others interact with the horses and donkeys!
Roxy bathed a few horses including Serenity. I know they all loved it – the heat and humidity were horrible. Serenity and her brother, Bryce, are looking for a forever home.
Aaleyah Belle, Sisco, and Victoria.
This is Valerie Goldsmith and Ted meeting our little Betsy Rose.
Jody and her family will post updates on Kiana. Its so hard to let them go. We spend days and nights helping them to heal mentally and physically – we love them all dearly. We love them enough to let them go when the time and circumstances are right.
Kiana got to spend time with her adoptive family. She just eats up the extra attention. You certainly can’t tell she got a bath 2 days ago. LOL
Is this not simply adorable? This is Violet visiting with JoJo. Violet’s 3rd birthday is next weekend – happy birthday Violet! I enjoyed meeting you and your mom and dad! Thank you Ashley and Lyle!
Pistol and Oscar – what a pair they are! They are both ready for their forever home and it would be simply amazing if they went together – they are so very bonded. Donkeys have been known to grieve deeply when they lose their best friend – I don’t want that to happen.
Baby Ray got a much needed bath and some playtime with Kylie Chapman today. He’s a stinker! He got a hooficure too. Baby Ray is also looking for a forever home.

Orphan Baby Mini Donk JoJo, Kiana, Betsy Rose, Harvey, Oscar & Pistol
June 24th, 2014
Meet our late incoming arrival last night – a few day old mini orphan donkey. I named him JoJo. He’s the result of irresponsible breeding. He has learned to drink from a bottle and he’s gotten really good at it – thankfully. I need to get going… – something happened with our dishwasher and the kitchen was flooded this morning. I’ve been on my knees with the Rainbow vacuum for what seems like hours – we have wood laminate flooring.
June 25th
JoJo has a couple of nodules at his left eye that we’ll be keeping a close eye on. We are still waiting on his blood work to come back. He’s a good boy.
JoJo was vetted this morning by Dr. Julia Simonson. She thinks he’s about 7 – 10 days old. We’ll have his blood work back this evening. He’s doing ok and has a great appetite (thankfully). Around his eyes are so sunburned – he’s got pink everything. Does anyone know where we could get a tiny sunsheet to protect JoJo? And a baby mini donkey long nose mask? He’s only like 30 lbs.
Aunt Judy adores JoJo! I asked her if she’d babysit for a few minutes this am. She was on his level playing with him before I could finish asking. LOL
Betsy Rose was thrilled (so were the rest of us!) when Auntie Karen stopped by unexpectedly today! Karen spent many hours with Betsy Rose during her rehab.
Oscar and Pistol are like bookends. Where one is you’ll find the other. They love to play tug of war with anything. And they love to upside down poop buckets in the early morning hours and pretend they have a 2 donkey band.
Kiana enjoys her play time out of the barn area. She’s had a growth spurt! I’ll update in more detail about her tomorrow.
Kiana and Harvey grazing while Betsy Rose opts to nap in her stall in front of her PortaCool.
June 26th
Guess what?!? I have a name! It’s JoJo! I met so many humans today – it was like – wow! And they all drooled over me! I’ve never had so many hugs and scratches – I didn’t know a little guy like me could get that many in one day! I wish you all could meet Betsy Rose – she is like the Queen of this barn! She’s very kind and she’s quite talkative when she gets hungry. Freckles told me what h…happened to her before she came here – that was really sad. Everyone here is just so, well, like family! I saw some really long ears today on a HUGE mule named Matilda. I mean – her ears are as long as my body! And then there are Oscar and Pistol – more long ears. They are like brothers. And there’s lots of other horses I haven’t met yet but I will. Mommy Theresa says I have to stay inside when the sun is out but I get to come out when it’s cloudy and in the evening – my skin is so pink – around my eyes was already sunburned. I need to get to bed now – lights out soon. Nighty night everyone!”

Sisco’s Eye Injury, CaryLou, Betsy Rose, Kiana and More
June 16th, 2014
The lavage was removed from Sisco’s right eye today – finally! This has been one heck of a challenge – he’s got a pretty good scar in his right eye. He’s still confined to a stall for a couple of days with limited and supervised turnout in a small paddock. I hope and pray he doesn’t rub it. He’s still wearing his hard cup mask. Would anyone like to help him – he could use help with the expenses related to this eye injury. Morgan and Victoria had their tear ducts flushed today – they could use sponsors as well.
Dr Ted Specht removing the lavage from Sisco’s eye!!!!
I have to get some paperwork done for my medical appts in the am so I’ll be offline until tomorrow evening. CaryLou – he’s a hoot!
June 17th
Good morning everyone! Busy day here today – I’m headed to Gainesville for an appointment with the neurosurgeon and for my physical therapy. The farrier is here this morning.Here’s Betsy Rose escorting Kiana out to explore around the house with the other little munchkins. She’s feeling better each day. Have a great day everyone and thank you for your support!
June 18th
Guess what just arrived?!?
Come on over girls and help me open the box – it’s a surprise from two of your Aunties! Betsy Rose simply loves it when new boxes arrive. She’s teaching Kiana it’s a good thing. LOL
“LOOK Betsy Rose! It’s one of those things that blows… cool air into our stalls! Oh wait – there’s another box! There’s TWO of them!”
“Oh wow – this means Ruby and Cookie can have one at their own coolers at their stalls! I’m going to tell them! Mommy Theresa – daddy Bob please get them set up soon! Come on Kiana – let’s go tell them the good news!”
The barn is a much cooler place now. These PortaCoolers are great and make such a difference! Many thanks and cyber hugs to our friends that donated them!
June 19th
“Oscar – tell mom we want to sleep in. Our bucket toss game until 2 in the morning wore me out. Just five more minutes, ok?”
Morgan is happy to be back with Santana.
Both kids came home this evening for dinner and short movie for Father’s Day. It was really nice!
Kamachee and Sayan love their new home! Especially the grass and wonderful shade – and their human mom!
Somewhere out there is the perfect home for Serenity and Bryce. I need you all to help us find it. Please share them and let’s find them a good forever home. More info can be found on our Beauty’s Haven Beauty’s Haven Equine Rescue Adoptions page.
Even in the shade and under a water hose it’s hot. Shade is scarce here but at least we have a few trees now that we planted a few years ago. It really drives me nuts to see properties that offer no shade or cover whatsoever for their animals. I can’t imagine baking out in this heat/sun with no relief at all.
Giving Gentleman a big hug while Dr. Julia worked on him on Monday. The heat has been really hard on many of them but the older ones are having an extra hard time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETSY ROSE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY ROSE – WE LOVE YOU!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHNhNAKh8Qs
Jenny visited today and helped get Betsy Rose ready for her big day!
Lynn Lawrence and Kathy Prevatt helped get Betsy Rose ready with decorations.
Bob made one last trip to the post office and voila! Lots of birthday cards arrived today! Betsy Rose loves each and every one of them! We hung them up over her birthday table to surprise her! When we take them down, we will read each and every card to her – she thanks everyone very much!
Let the party begin!
"Vermont Teddy Bear can you believe this birthday party? Look at all the cards! And the cakes and gifts! Our human friends really do love us – all of us! Do you realize that on this day a year ago I was very, very close to Rainbow Bridge? I was so weak – I was on the ground in a corner, unable to get up, and I heard the humans talking about "putting me down" and how they didn’t know why I was in such bad shape. How could they have not seen me starving to death over the months? They said I was too far gone to help but I never stopped believing that help would come. Giving up just wasn’t an option – I’m glad Mommy Theresa believed too and sent angels to pick me up and bring me here – this is my home, always. I love you all!"
She loves her cake!
"Auntie Blodwyn made be the BEST carrot cake in the world!! And there was carrot cake for the humans too! And lots and lots of carrots for my friends!"
The carrot cakes were yummy! Thank you Blodwyn and Bill Newton!
"How do you like my very special visor?"
Kiana had a great time too – we all did! She’s looking forward to her first birthday party next year.
"Hold on Mommy Theresa – I have something I want you to post to our friends for me, ok? I got presents and lots of cards today which I really appreciate – I feel very special! But I have an idea I want to share! Here’s a hint – it’s about carats!"
"Ok Betsy Rose – it’s your day – go for it!"

Kiana’s birthday present to Betsy Rose – watch the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ5hAKNMr2I&feature=youtu.be
Ok, so someone obviously told Kiana about the "Cricket Dance"! That’s a little thing Aaleyah Belle started when she was a baby and every baby that has lived here has learned it too. Kiana still needs to work on it a bit but she’s trying!
Good night everyone!

Theresa

Sisco’s Mask, Kiana and Betsy Rose, Mollie, Princess, Parties and Rainbows!
June 8th – 9th, 2014
Sue Sefscik visiting with Kiana and Betsy Rose. She can tell you – the girls are not spoiled at all. Nope.
Sisco is a giraffe when he wants to be!
Here he is in his mask – I like this kind – it lets air get to the eye.
I’m happy to report that Mollie is doing fantastic with her new family! We’ll let Joan Schaffer, her adoptive mom, keep us updated on her progress. Thank you Joan for giving Mollie a human family of her own! Mollie was almost at Rainbow Bridge when we picked her up last November. She’s an Arabian that has a heart of gold and is a determined little filly – she reminds me very much of Beauty, the namesake of Beauty’s Haven, when she came into my life at about the same age as Mollie.
And now a message from Betsy Rose:
“GUESS WHAT? Mommy Theresa says there is going to be a virtual birthday party on Facebook for me on Saturday! I came to Beauty’s Haven on June 14th last year in very poor health – a lot of people never thought I’d live to see my 24th birthday but I believed I could do it! The humans here supported me and helped me for many months before I could live on my own again but they did it because they loved me and they believed in me too!
Mommy Theresa said some of you have asked what I need or want for my birthday. Well, my wish list is short – if anyone wants to send me a present, please consider sending a card with a donation instead so that I can share with my horsey friends here. Some of my friends have no sponsors at all – they all deserve something and I want my day to be their day too! I’d LOVE to fill up my stall wall with cards! And Kiana – she doesn’t know what a birthday is – she’ll love it too! You know what the first thing is we all taught Kiana? TO BELIEVE! Not just in herself, and that she can overcome her obstacles, but to believe in others that love her too and that the Beauty’s Haven “Village” will never abandon her. Thank you all!
Oh – one more thing! I’m going to make a BIG announcement at my virtual birthday party on June 14th on Facebook so please make sure to participate, ok? I’ll give you a hint – carrots!”
~ Love, Betsy Rose
An Arabian at the end of a rainbow! How lovely!
Kiana was moving a little faster today. Slowly, but surely, she is improving!
Since we have had a number of medical emergencies within the past few months, we have started a new Youcaring fundraiser to assist with the veterinary bills.http://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/medical-emergencies-/188403
Have a great night everyone – I’ve got physical therapy in the am so I’ll be offline for much of the day.
Sincerely,
Theresa
