MEET "ANGEL" - WELSH PAINT MARE

We couldn't move to the country and not get our youngest daughter the PONY OF HER DREAMS!!! Here is Amy and Angel -- bonding. Angel is a 13 hand Welsh Paint Mare -- and VERY stout. Amy got a new bridle, reins, halter and lead rope in NEON pink! Oh my. Somebody should've told mom the "tack" and food cost more than the horse.



Here is Daddy renovating the barn for two horse stalls and one hay / tack room. Oh yeah, and the wee exercise corral cost more than the horse too. Ha. That's what happens when city slickers move out to the country.

A PIG NAMED "WILBUR"

Meet "Wilbur" our new 6 month-old pot-bellied pig. He is such a good pig! He oinks and runs to us when he sees us coming. He thinks he's a basset hound as he was raised with one. You can see he lets the dachshund pups climb all over him & chew him.

He will "sit pretty" and shake a hoof for grapes. He'll do ANYTHING for grapes! He figured out the dog doors in the kennel the first day he was here and can even open the dog food container with his snout! My, we are sure enjoying living on a farm! (Perhaps folks think this is the funny farm?) Ha.

Wilbur LOVES bacon. Kinda sad, huh>?
