Hi Jean, 
 
In re: to giving that unconditional love to the other horses:
JP>     I know ....... and, I give it to them and they give it back to m
JP> BUT, "Baby" was the special one -- that little extra bond was betwee
JP> .... hard to explain.
It's not explainable But I do know what you mean, When you bond with an 
animal and they die, it's very hard and that one special animal is not 
replaceable in your heart But eventually you go on and there is another 
special love and another and they all have their own special place in 
your heart.....and you are the one who was blessed for having that 
special bond, that unconditional love.  So hang in there, Please.  I 
worry about how you are handling this.   Onto another subject I saw 
this beautiful horse that maybe you can fill me in on some information 
about with your knowledge of horses.  My boyfriend and I went to the El 
Dorado County Fair, In Placerville(Hangtown), CA and We saw this horse 
that we thought at first was part Clydesdale(sp?) But he was Belgian 
work horse, used for pulling plow equipment or for working on a farm.  
He was beautiful, Big, stocky type of horse, I had never seen that kind 
of horse before in my life, Just saw the Budweiser Clydesdales once 
when I was about 14 But not this kind of horse, Have you ever seen 
them?  
 
In re: to kids shooting Andy.

JP>  > Andy, they had too.
JP>  > But he is doing fine now, thanks for asking.
JP>  
JP>     Oh noooooooo -- how can anyone (even a kid) do something like th
JP> Stuff like that is hard for me to understand.
Some kids are not taught how to value life, Just how to put a gun in 
their hands and shoot things, That is especially true in South 
Sacramento, Not too far from me where there are alot of gangs, Those 
gangs recruit many a young kid, and they don't respect life, Not any 
kind of life, Human or animal.  It's sad because these kids should be 
just that kids not punks.
 
So tell me where is this beautiful ranch of yours, Not exact location 
just the state and city that is closest to you? 
 
I live in Antelope, CA and my boyfriends Mom's ranch is in Granite Bay, 
CA which is near Folsom, CA about a 20 minute drive from us.
Antelope is okay it is a suburb of Sacramento, not as bad as South 
Sacramento, or even as bad as Rancho Cordova where I grew up, Rancho 
has been nicknamed, "Rancho Cambodia" by the Sacramento County 
Sheriff's Department But where I live I am still in Sacramento County 
but about a mile from the Sutter and Placer county lines so it's still 
kind of rural But not like Folsom or Granite Bay or even Placerville is 
very rural.  But I am very tired of California if you tell and I am 
really wanting a change to a quieter life But it probably won't happen 
until after I get all of my schooling in which hopefully will get 
started by spring semester.
 
Well, I hope you did receive my other message which was a continuation 
of this message, I'm sorry I had to cut it short but I had to get off 
the computer before the computer updated itself.  Look forward to 
talking to you again.
