The Woolly mammoth finally got her bath and haircut today, just in time for the 90° weather that's about to hit! Just last week we were in the freezing temps! Mother nature, you can pick a season now! Preferably spring and a few spring showers would be nice. 😉

Fantasy was not a fan of the bath, but when the clippers came out, she understood the assignment and stood like a pro! She'll be much happier now. 💗🐴

Thank you to the supporters that provided the supplies to make this happen!

We have updated our Amazon Wish List to include fly sprays, clipper blades, sprayer nozzles for bathing, sprayers for concentrated fly sprays, and dewormers for our very welcome spring🌷 and summertime 🌞 weather. Ready for all this cold ❄️🥶 to be gone. 👋

We have a few woolly mammoths that need a little extra help in getting rid 💇‍♀️ of that winter sweater,
some that are a little more sensitive to bug bites 🦟, and some that could use a little extra time at the spa.🧼 🛁 🧽🚿

Take a look at our updated list! Your donations are always and forever appreciated!

We thank you always! 💕🐴

Ok ok. Usually, he can't beg me out of an extra cookie, but who can resist that pathetic face. 😂

We said Goodbye to Onyx today at the age of 36, a very long life for an OTTB. She came to us Valentines Day 2006, belonging to Lori's best friend, who passed away several years ago. Onyx was a character. Cora affectionately called her "Crazy Lady ". We will miss her.
