Delilah Update from Apr 8 2010 and April 19 2010
Sampson got his own photo essay this morning. Heās strong in mind and body ā and there is not a shy bone in there ā he takes after Delilah in that respect. Jet and I tag teamed on the attention, or all the pictures would have been closeups.ā¦
Aiden Update from Mar 31 2010
Iām Aidenās foster mom, and the cutie is doing well. He always tries hard, even if he could still use more confidence. It seems like heāll have a great work ethic without being hot. I think once he finds his āpersonā his confidence will flourish and heāll be totallyā¦

Ben has been identifiedā¦
Weāve checked Benās tattoo and discovered that he is a 2004 gelding named Babe Hoolihan, bred in Washington state, and raced twice as a three year old. (He came in dead last in both races, so obviously horse racing didnāt suit him.) In 2009, he was rescued from anā¦
