Whisper Update ā Dec 14 2008
Dr. Hannah was here this morning to check again on Whisper. Her temp was 98 degrees so she is still staying warm, but we added a 3rd blanket on her because it is just so cold out there, and very windy as well. We put some ointment on her wounds, and we really wantedā¦

Sasha ā Dec 6, 2008
Happy Saturday to all! I hear you on the dream barn. I think Iād probably clone Pond-a-Luceāa with a few slight changes. They have a nice hay loft and a wash rack with warm water. It came in handy today when Sasha had her first dental! She did very well and had twoā¦

Silly goose!

Sasha, Rest in Peace
