LADYBUG, APPALOOSA MARE

SHOWN AT AGE 21

Before we place the photos of some of the more unusual beings who shared our lives, I want to tell you the story of this special lady.

LadyBug was the lone survivor from that cruel event, which had left her pastures mates all victims of cold-blooded murder.

LadyBug lived out the remaining years of her life
in the company of kinder humans. This easy going mare was a participant in a program where horse-back riding was a new form of physical therapy for persons with disabilities.

PUPPY WHISPER DISPLAYS UNUSUAL

TALENT AS SHE SPREADS THE DIGITS OF HER FEET. HER ADULT COMPANION SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED,

14 week old teeny Chihuahua puppy (1 lb 8 oz), WhisperLily, gives us a good look at a rather unique ability she possesses. Note the joint articulation and position of the paws as she is shown here standing on her hind feet and reaching out with the fore paws in an almost cat like physical demonstration. That qualifies as exotic in my book. This little dog is showing a propensity to manipulate things by moving individual toes to achieve her goals. Exotic for sure, maybe weird is another appropriate adjective. Stay tuned; we are going to monitor this fascinating ability.
