2007: Mercedes and Bugatti

Using 335 as our (E.T.A.) Gestation Calendar, Mercedes was due July 30th. 16 days later, after spending most of her last few months hanging out in the barn where the fans were (very HOT summer), she wandered out into the pasture and lay down.

2006: Ebony and Sid

Here she comes!

Tassie is checking things out...(no pun intended)

Almost all the way here... taking deep breaths.

Another big breath!
