Baby Hanna on her first day in our world.    I had just eased her off of my lap, what is cute as a newborn probably isn't so cute when they get a lot bigger.

This is Bella.  She is a miniature that recently came to live with us when her former owners couldn't keep her anymore.  Somewhere in the past Bella was badly treated and so is very shy, but she is learning to trust and will now take treats from our hands.

Bella is cute as a button, isn't she?

This is our grandson at 2-1/2 years old on his first pony ride.  Lorenzo says a lot of things we can't understand yet, but he can clearly say "Rosie the pony".   This pony is an 8 year old POA mare, you have to get right up to her to see her little tiny white spots, only a handful of white hairs in each spot.  Unfortunately, this girl is just a bit too much for Lorenzo yet, and he prefers to get up on one of the bigger mares with me.

Here is Rascal, our rescue Pomeranian.  He only weighs about 8 pounds and is the littlest member of the family, but he makes up for his size in his voice.

My husband, Jeff, with his TB gelding the day we went to get him.  Several weeks of good food and medicine, and this gelding is now in excellent shape.

Lucki trying to eat the camera.  She is really hard to photograph because she is so curious she gets right on top of you to see what you are doing!

Angel on the day she arrived.  Fortunately she has put on weight and looks a whole lot better now.

Another pic of Angel on the day she arrived.  Poor girl needed some serious groceries in her belly.
