So now, still traveling backwards in time, we come to a special day for me. I made some new friends.

I had just found out that my mom had passed away very recently. But it was my birthday, and my family got me a wonderful gift.

I got to go horseback riding, but, since these are in reverse order, this shows some friends I met after the ride, just hanging around the ranch in the San Diego hills.

Awwwww. Look at that sweet fuzzy face!

Once again, animals love me, and will always walk right over to say hello. It is a gift.

Dogs and babies love me too. How lucky am I?

Join me next time, when we go back in time just a few hours, and meet some really cool horses.
