Milestone #2- Happy Anniversery to our Sol Llama! We're keeping fingers crossed that Zoe too will soon be able to join us for hikes and outings. And below, a glimpse of my Christmas afternoon hike with Farley. Here's a pic of Zoe the couch potato (above) on Christmas morning. Also, much love and thanks to our good friends Dick, Gale and Jackson for taking Farley into your home so Zoe could rest. Kurt Shulz and the staff at Peak Veterinary Referral Center in Burlington, VT for taking such good care of Zoe. It was a very happy family reunion for all! Her positive report also meant that Farley, her brother who has been staying with friends for the 8 week window of her recovery, could come home again. This is one of the best gifts we could ask for. Although she still has along road to rehab ahead, she appears to be walking without lameness. Her xrays on December 19th hold promise – good healing from the surgery. As some of you may know, she's been convalescing from radical surgery back in October to address severe degenerative joint disease in her right elbow. The week before Christmas, we had some encouraging news for our Zoe, our 1 year old Golden Retriever. Milestone #1 – Hooray for Zoe and Welcome Home, Farley! We celebrated arrivals and marked several milestones this season. These are two great positions to put them in when needing to do anything with them such as trimming hooves, giving shots, and shearing.Mike and I celebrated the holidays quietly at home this year, enjoying the company of our flock, dogs, llamas, goat, donkeys – and each other. They also totally relax when placed on their bum, off their feet. By putting a hand under their chin and lifting their nose up a little in the air, they will usually relax.
