Today was a little chilly and before we started the day we turned on the heater. Patches thinks that toasting his feet and napping in front of the heater is the greatest.

Feisty found that the microwave provided the best nap place.

We had many chores to do today. We had a load for the dump and had to go for a trailer load of hay, but first we hooked up the horse trailer and set off.

Lake Oroville is filling. In fact they had to release some water today. Just where in the world are we going?

It was off to Look Ahead Vet Services to get a new family member.

Who is this boy? It's Kim, a 17 year old Tennessee Walking Horse who was surrendered to HorsePlus. He has a knee injury and his owner could no longer care for him. He is not rideable, but should have a good quality of life for years to come.

Hey!! Where am I ?

When we took the trailer down to the lower well, the herd scattered. All except Tucker who came at a gallop to see who was new. Tucker is one charismatic mule. Tucker wanted Kim to feel welcome.

Then Smoke came to say Hi.

Smoke and Kim

The boys have a meeting. Kim, Tucker and Smoke have a gallop together.

Kim is a beautiful boy. He is our St Patty Day's leprechaun. He was standing alone tonight, not too sure of the big herd. I took hay in to him and he came right up to me. He knew the hay was for him. We'll watch and hope that he settles in. If not, we'll move him to a different herd. It sometimes takes a few days to get used to things.
Thank you Ursula C and Ruth C for your continued support. You are important part of Home At Last.
More rain tonight. The horses are soooooo cranky. They all would like a few warm days in the sunshine without the slippery, slimely, gooey nasty mud and without flies.
