Meeting


Honey Dog checking out Gracie. Honey Dog is 8 years old and has never liked children, yet here she is accepting Gracie just fine. In fact, Honey Dog doesn't like it when any of the other animals gets too close to Gracie.






I'm sure most of you were wondering how long it was going to take for Gracie to meet the horses and donkeys. Well, it is time. Here is Cookie introducing herself.

Another surprise was Mr. Worm being very gentle with Gracie. Mr. Worm at one time was dumped off at our old house and he had turned feral. It took me about 6 months to finally be able to pet him. Ever since that first pet, we have  formed a bond. 



More pics tomorrow of Gracie meeting the other critters around here. 


Until next time...................

  1. Hi,

    I found your site doing a search for my daughters name. Well, the name that is on her birth certificate. Her name is Gracelyn Kay. We are going to be changing the middle name for her protection after her adoption is finalized.

    Just wanted to congratulate you on a very beautiful grand baby. I started reading this blog just a moment ago and as you were typing this post I believe because when I hit refresh this post popped up.

    Had to kind of tell you that it is possible to be pregnant and not know it, even up to the labor. So please tell your other daughters that just because they don't believe her doesn't mean it's not the truth. A woman not too long ago had 2 other kids or more and she recently went to the bathroom and gave birth not knowing she was even pregnant. She wasn't in denial or keeping it from anyone. You can still have periods or not have signs or symptoms of pregnancy.

    And if she was aware of it there is also another level of denial that some just can't handle the situation until it's here.

    That being said she's here. Also...the birth mother to our little baby girl was a severe smoker. She smoked all the time through the pregnancy. The baby was about 3 weeks early but she was healthy and is still very healthy. As long as she stays away from cigarette smoke outside of the womb she should be healthy. Neither one of my husband or myself are smokers. Not saying that I support smoking during pregnancy but her first pediatrician tried helping us feel better when we were concerned for her health because of her low birth rate. Her lungs were fully developed and she never needed oxygen.

    If your daughter did know about being pregnant and was in denial, might want to see if she can see a therapist or something. Just a thought.

    Anyway congratulations. She's a very beautiful baby.

    Our Gracelyn is almost 13 months old and almost walking on her own. She's our heart and our joy as I am sure your Gracelyn will be the same to you all.
    Take care.

  3. I love the way that animals have of being so gentle around children. They seem to instinctively understand that they need to be treated differently.

    Gracie certainly is a really beautiful baby.

  4. Cindy, those were precious! Amazing, but not surprising, how gentle animals are with babies. They 'know' that they are special little creatures.
    Good to see that everything is 'moving right along'.

  15. Yes, she will be just like her grandma. Being introduced so early in life to so many different critters will really imprint on her heart. At least that's what I believe.--Inger
