UPDATE: Trabuco Canyon: Brutus (3 y/o TB)

By

Many people have asked about Brutus, and how he is faring.  He is actually doing very well!  His surgery went well, and although he had some discharge for the first few days, and some swelling in the area, he is feeling well and things are looking healthy and normal.

Venus’ New Shoes

We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]
