Kasey update


Kasey is doing extremely well, but as it turns out, I have always wanted a Standard Poodle as we had one when we lived in Rhode Island, and the opportunity came up when one of our neighbors new of one who was looking for a home. That was all I needed, so one look, and now Kasey has a brother, Angus who is 4 years old. Yes there was a little adjustment initially, but they both get along great now.

As Angus is what you may call hyper, Kasey does not share breakfast with the guests any more, as Angus can get somewhat uncontrollable when he sees birds at the feeder outside the dining room door.

They both get to see the guests during one of my three walks a day, which seems to be needed to calm down Angus.

Our Horse update


Realizing many of our guests enjoy our horses, we feel we should provide an update for you. 2007 was a bad as well as good year for our horses. On the sad side, we lost Big John our Shire Draft Horse. He got sick on Memorial Day week end and by the next morning we lost him. Much to Carol's dismay, I couldn't leave the stall empty, so by the end of summer, we got Billie a Percheron Draft. She definitely is one of the quietest horses we have ever owned. She's also extremely friendly. In case you're wondering, she was named for Billie Holiday, the famous jazz singer.
Thought you'd like to see a picture of her.
