**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I understand Anja’s dilemma….. She could survive on air alone….. We’re trying to reduce her princess-pony-zaftig-ness….. Anja does enjoy her meals….. Where Claire needs all the calories we can spackle on her….. Anja requires a minimalist chef….. You know sometimes when you look at someone every day…you don’t realize when they’re changing…..?….. …..and then for some reason there’s a flashbulb realization that things have changed right under your nose…..?….. I recently had one…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** I’m not actually sure if we did have a hard freeze here…..

I haven’t written about the advent of Anja yet… Anja is now my younger daughter’s new horse. She’s a Norwegian Fjord horse. Just like my daughter’s previous therapy horse, Sonja (who died tragically from botulism poisoning in the Spring of 2018). *****Post-April 24, 2018: “Sad, Sad, Gut-Wrenching & Sad” Plus, Anja is also related to Sonja!              She really is!!!
