Animal Farm Redux

I'm completely at a loss for words today after reading Manuela's terrible news.

While I gather myself together for a real post I'll leave you with a few more pictures from the farm. You can see that Piggy Sue is, indeed, a pot-bellied pig; at two months her tummy is already almost dusting the ground. Lastly a couple of shots of Blue. He's seldom out of his stall when I am there, but the other day his owner was walking him back and forth in the sunlight, letting him dry after a soap bath. He's an 8 year-old saddlebred full-blood pinto, for you horsey types. For everybody else, he's one gorgeous creature: blue eyes, black forelock and tail, white mane and crisp white markings.

  4. Love that piglet.

    Just came back from Manuela's blog and there are no words to describe ... This life can be terribly cruel at times.

  7. Thanks for taking the pic with your hand in it with Piggy Sue-- I was wondering before how big (small) she is. :) And I am still amazed by that beautiful horse!

    Manuela's news hit me like a ton of bricks.
