Sometimes pictures speak louder then words...

When I can look at this picture and not cry
Sadly my dad passed away months before we went to closing on the new farm.
He's always with me...

Sometimes pictures speak louder then words...
I grew up one of those kids that their parents always said no when I asked if I could bring home a pet... and I asked a lot.   If you grew up like me you know what happens when you finally get the chance to bring home those pets...

My dad built and Owned the Village Inn now called Wisp Resort, needless to say my pets were the occasional kitchen mice I always showed my parents when I managed to catch them... and a flock of ducks in our pond out front, I sometimes thought they'd enjoy a new place to swim so I brought them into the hotel pool... and the best one - the eggs I thought I could help hatch over the wall heater in my room - I hatched them all right, I guess I figured out why their mom got tired of sitting on them.  I happened to pledge the kitchen floor to make it shine (cleaning it was one of my chores) and when my dad went running from the smell of Old Spice (I wore a mask to try and clean up the mess...) mixed with rotten egg,  he slid across the kitchen floor right on his bum.  Oh, I have lots more memories...
My dad has since passed away.  One of the hardest years of my life.  He always believed in me and was the one who taught me any thing is possible.  My mother has also been a huge support for me, now you may even see her at your parties!  I hope I give to my children as much as they have given to me.

I am so blessed to have the most wonderful husband Dale Cossette. Not coming from a life of animals  - but being an Air Traffic Controler he's managed the chaos, stuck with me and supported it all...  I think when you have great parents it makes great people and his family is wonderful too.  Besides giving me a life I've always dreamed of he gave me two incredible kids I cherish. 

I love sharing my love of animals with my children and all the children I meet.  There is something about the look on a child's face when they see that pony pull up in their driveway...  My Family has helped me with my goal of having my own ranch where I can have summer camps, day camps, lessons and evening camp fires on Friday nights with friends. 
A place that's "fun."  Pony To Go is far more than a job for me, its something I enjoy every day.

Please share my family photos and more about my life in the links below.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing in whatever you are celebrating!
