Misty was a wonderful mama, to all her babies


Fast forward, growing up on the old farm.

Back home, working over obstacles.


We first see Misty and Pete at one month old.


Mama loved her new baby boy.



And the baby boy grew up. Entered his first show at seven months old.

Boys will be boys.

Pete loved to run run run.

It just makes me marvel how much love and joy animals bring to our lives.

Look at those long eyelashes on Little Pete!

The head in the swing is hilarious!
