Nie Nie fell asleep on my arm after a long trip to the emergency clinic in Mobile. Took 8 tries with my phone, with my other hand (pulled over mind you) to get this picture. Yes, she insisted in sitting in my lap while I drove.

Happy Thanksgiving! & Happy Wordless Wednesday.

Note: This was early on in Nie Nie’s medical history. She’s doing well now, running around like she owns the place. Something I am definitely thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Each cria season I have some favorites. Occasionally I fall hard for one. Like George here, who was born on President’s Day. He makes me weak in the knees.

Happy Wordless Wednesday.
