The Perfect Puppy

Phil and Anna's daughter Braelyn has been praying for the perfect puppy each night. Well today after Braelyn's birthday party Phil and Anna took the girls to Rhoda and Lee's house where they were holding a special surprise.  The 3 girls were then presented with the 'Perfect Puppy', exactly what Braelyn had been praying for. To see the video clip of the girls getting this puppy click HERE.

We had another great Sunday only this one was really special. Rick and Mary Plattner were visiting Peoria so we got to hear Rick for the morning. Mom, Sarah, Mark and I had to leave right after the first service in order to get to the AC church in Tremont, IL for cousin Mike Meister's wedding to Joyce Kaiser.  That was like one huge family reunion. It was so good to be there.  We didn't stay for the reception as there was no one home here to take care of the horses. 
Jared sent news from Kansas, his big Percheron mare Whitney delivered a big black filly by Valiant this morning.



Whitney is 17.2 hands tall, this filly makes her look like a pony she is so big. Jared reports the filly is nursing well. Congratulations Jared! That is TWO fillies born this morning, Rosalie's filly by Evan came early and Whitney's filly by Valiant came late.  
Rosalie is anxious to get out of the stall but with so much wet sloppy snow on the ground we can't let her filly get wet.  Marika and Lola were stalled again tonight. It looks like I will be cleaning stalls and the indoor arena for a while. Once this snow melts we have rain predicted. I may need a bigger barn.
