Annie Update from June 7 2008

Annie received her vaccination boosters, a dental float, and a trim on Friday. She was very good for her front feet, but still required some sedation for her back feet, although Daphne was able to handle her back feet a bit better without sedation. Annie is also...

Annie Update from June 1 2008

Just a quick note — Annie was FANTASTIC getting in the trailer today! It took us only 5 minutes or so and we didn’t have to use anything to get her in, just a little grain to encourage her. She was SUCH a good girl! She is now at Julie’s (with Cedar) to get some...

Annie Update from Apr 25 2008
