Hi Group and a special hello to Sharon,

We just wanted to send a hello since Clyde and Norman's one year anniversary was a few weeks ago. I can't believe it has already been a year. For their anniversary they got 8 dump trucks full of sand. We put it in front of the barn with hopes to help Clyde with his leg soreness. At 30+ he deserves all the comfort we can give him. Clyde now sees no reason to ever leave this area; even in the rain we have to push him on to go back into the barn. I can sit down right next to him when is lying down. My husband laughs because sometimes we can not even wake him up. He is very comfortable here.

Norman doesn't mind staying in front of the barn, because he can play ball just about anywhere. We also made them another mound so they can continue to play king of the hill but now in the field so we can watch from just about any window in our house. I tell you, watching them is better than TV.

Norman has learned a new job. He has to help me carry the muck buckets to the trailer and carries back the empties. He also is now excellent on lead and gardens with me in the back and front yard. He is such a lover, his favorite thing to do is cuddle with me when I am sitting on a lawn chair. I know this sounds weird but it is true, he is awesome.

Chelsea our 3 1/2 year old daughter now feeds and hays the horses and donkeys. She also brushes Clyde and Norman just about every night. She says, Clyde is her good boy and Norman is Clyde's good boy.

I can honestly say, they have brought us so much happiness and love, we can not imagine our family without them.

I think they feel the same way, especially since they have not had a day without some carrots, apples and/or treats.
