Indy... is Destry’s older brother, AKA ‘equus perfectus’

A sad, sad day for Coolwater Ranch. Toby, my true blue steed for the past25 years passed away in July. He bounced back time and again from age related problems, but he finally went his way in July.

The days just prior to his final bout he was well and happy, trotting and cantering around the ranch, prying open gates and as always, always up to no good.

Happy Trails Tobe! you were the best teacher I have ever had.

Tiff the harp playing cat. She has an evil brain, plays the harp to throw people off.

Welcome to the latest feline to grace Coolwater. He replaces the sweet and loving Graystoke who finally succumbed to thyroid cancer. Vger was a feral cat, turned hopelessly tame by a can of tuna. He seems quite pleased with this new arrangement.

Suttree, named after one of my favorite novels, this drifter slunk onto my property and stayed.  He was recently taken for a test flight by a gray owl, but weighing in at nearly 18 pounds, the big bird decided Suttree was not worth the trouble.
