Our little girl communing with Mother Nature......... she is an animal lover, which warms my heart, having been one my entire life.  How this child was matched with our family brings to light the many forces at work...... forces that are beyond explanatory reasoning or coincidence.

The horses and ponies here are rescues..... the horse below is a Grandson of Secretariat, and wound up on its way to the Slaughterhouse......   We are at Baiting Hollow Farm and Vineyards on Long Island, I recommend this place to everyone...... 

It's amazing the changes that have taken place in our little girl.  She grows up everyday........ she's such an adorable, sweet and funny child.

We are so blessed !!!

My Baby's Growing Up 5/18/10

Settling Into Routines

We are settling into a wonderful routine these days.  Baylon IS sleeping better.... sometimes not as much as I'd like, but she is definitely sleeping.  

Here she is in a typical afternoon of play.  She has numerous toys, as does Pirate and Chelsea..... mostly Pirate, as Chelsea isn't a big toy pooch....... BUT, the amazing thing here is that there is a mutual respect amongst Pirate and Baylon.  He leaves her toys alone, and will seek out his own, and only his own, and Baylon will pick up a toy, a toy that is mixed in with her toys, and she will hold it up and say Pi Pi......   (I know, I know..... gotta fix those wires !)

Here we have a typical breakfast...... well, Baylon will munch on Cheerios with her brother Timothy. They each share the Cheerios while I make a real breakfast.  Timothy is so gentle with Baylon, and in everyday life, this little guy can try to take your finger off...... but not our little girl.  He's as sweet as pie with Baby Baylon......

Easter Sunday 2010

My little girl is growing up...... she has changed so much in the last four months, since she was placed in my arms.  This was her first Easter, and she dazzled, and wow'd our family...... just as she dazzles and wows us everyday !

March 28, 2010 *Sunday Morning Breakfast*

I've been allowing these two to get to know one another gradually.  Timothy has been so gentle with Baylon, it's wonderful to watch.  He'll gingerly accept a Cheerio from her small extended hand.  


Our whole family has come together as one complete happy unit.  I can't wait for each new day to begin, and feel so Blessed to awaken each day with all that I have to look forward too.


Pirate is back on track with his training, and soon, we'll begin with Chelsea as well.  Pirate is doing Obedience.... and Agility, and if this weather EVER breaks, we'll be back Sheep Herding as well.


We're even going to head back into the Show Ring in a couple of weeks.  We are going to Special Pirate here and there, just to keep him ring savvy.  He won't be truly competitive till he matures a bit, as he's still a baby at just 2 yrs. 4 months..... Briards mature slowly, and can fill out till they are three, sometimes four years old.
His true color still hasn't appeared as of yet.  His half brothers are a couple of months older than he is, and they are just starting to change.  Tawny's can go through various color changes in their early years.  I can see red roots on Pirate, which I love....... hopefully I'm not just seeing things.

Our lives have been enriched 10 fold.  We live each day with renewed purpose, and directive.  It's amazing to me that someone so small, can have a presence so large.  Baylon, you have always been in my heart, my mind, and my soul, now you permeate every breath that I take.

l

Baylon and Pirate you both fill my heart with sunshine.

March 20th, 2010 FIRST DAY OF SPRING !!!!

Pirate has a play date with Halle, a female Briard from the neighborhood.  They got along famously, and we all had a lovely day in the park.  Hopefully there will be more "hot dates", this Season !
