New Puppies

 Rosaleigh is in her foal heat and was covered this morning after making breakfast for Mark. She and her colt were turned out in the pasture next to Evan to graze then I left for the walk. This morning was cool and not raining, the rain came later.  We had new guests coming for the barn apartment so the barn was cleaned and the cookies pulled out of the freezer for them.  Jamie sent a picture of her Valiant daughter Legacy that needs to be posted here. She is just gorgeous. 

Karin took out a group of riders today but I wasn't around to see which horses went and which stayed back. We have had so much rain yesterday and last night that the paddocks are muddy and each time I come inside I need a dry pair of socks. Should have worn boots. Rhoda's miniature Poodle Hazel had 3 puppies, two female and 1 male and we are thrilled for Rhoda. Hazel is pictured below. She is a whopping 8 pounds soaking wet. 

Last time Hazel had puppies Dr. Hoerr had to do an emergency C section in the middle of the night and this time Hazel went into labor and had no problem delivering them. These are Cavapoo puppies and they are all spoken for. Check out Gardner Lane Puppies for pictures by clicking HERE. Pictures will be posted later.  In the picture below Rosie belongs to Taunya and Ben's family, Ruby and Hazel belong to Rhoda and Lee's family and Arrie and Ivy belong to Sarah and Nolan's family. 

It is always so much fun when the puppies come. 

More branches were down at the playground from the storm last night. When the trail ride was over Karin worked on cleaning up the yard. The recycle man came again tonight and took more junk. Mark helped load with the skid steer. A big storm came through this evening with lots of lightning, thunder and big drops of rain. The weather report is 3 to 4 inches of rain in the next few days. Sure glad we are on higher ground. The good news is from all this rain is that the fields are growing fast. We will get a good second cutting.
