Boris This was our dog Boris with his son Boris, Jr in the foreground. Two of a kind in looks and personality. We were devastated when Boris was hit and killed by a car, but we are so happy to say that Boris Jr is living to a gentle old age.

Jazzy Rhythm Jazzy was a 6 year old Thoroughbred horse we fostered for Horses’ Haven (Howell, MI), who had been left by her owner with sand colic and founder. Jazzy was lame most of the six months she was in our care, but she was free in the pasture and did canter once again. The last time an old abscess burst from her coronary band, Jazzy had her head in Amy’s lap, letting out a deep breath, letting her know it was time, that she was tired.

 

Wild Fawn This is our son at the age of eleven. He and his friend found this baby fawn while camping. Our son learned a very hard, sad lesson that day, as the fawn didn’t make it. If you come across a baby deer, it is almost always best to leave it alone. This is what momma deer do; they leave their young in the day for protection and come back to feed them at night.

Sheba This mare was a rescue we picked up and helped for a while for Horses’ Haven (Howell, MI). She obviously was starved and should have been all white. The dark you see is frost bite. When we went to get her, she had on a wet and frozen blanket. When the blanket was thawed and lifted from her back, it took some of her skin with it. Sheba eventually died of liver failure due to damage from the starvation episode.
