my little 'pony' was from a friend of mine who had lost his job and may be losing the family farm as well. Anyway, I had seen Tomas a few times before and was absolutely in love with him, even quite a bit intitimidated. 6 foot at the shoulder/withers makes for a big horse. I said I would keep the stallion at my house while he was trying to sell him ( he was working out of state and not available to show the horse to prospective buyers) both of my girls were all for outright buying the horse but I wasn't sure as he is a stallion and is a big horse. Once he got here we fell in love and Tomas will never leave the farm. It's quite a sight to see him gallop and buck. He is broke to drive and ride, best horse I've ever had. plus he has great Fabio hair.

I got my parakeets from the pet store. I got them after my mom died, she always had them. They remind me of her, and the safe home she gave her children full of nature, and respect for animals. In a small way, when I hear them singing, when I sit and talk with my kids about them, I feel a little closer to her.

long ago in a prior relationship, we heard this crying in the backyard, it was a little putty cat, just a day old. we took it in (domestic cat) & fed it milk from a little baby doll milk bottle. placed in a shoebox in the wall unit where the halogen lights were hot enough to keep it warm. it survived & we were very happy.

it grew up spry & lively slim & trim. till one day had to get it fixed & she blew up into a fat cat!

I left the relationship but the cat lived on for yrs!

wondering if I should take my friend's offer to adopt her cockatiel & give it to my inlaws since they like birds.
