my daughter rescued a lovely mare, who was quite saucy, heartbroken over the death of her previous owner. my daughter became pregnant, the mare changed dramatically-she knew and she mellowed almost instantly. these days, my grandson could sit between her feet if he wanted to - while the mare will not even twitch an ear, being so careful. love brought her back!

Years ago, on a visit, my vet was astonished when my mare persistently gently nuzzled her tummy. She had recently learned that she was pregnant. Not even showing, and hadn't even told anyone. It was amazing. She was a most special mare and partner.

They do know! I had a friend who had a Tennessee Walker and I brought apples out to him. He was NOT interested in the apples as much as he was my belly... It was so cute because he was a big boy and he was so gentle and snuffling around as if to say, "Hey buddy!" That was over 40 years ago, and I still have that memory!

Years ago my old nanny goat sniffed my face when the novocain wore off after having a broken molar removed. She rubbed her fuzzy nose on my arm and very quietly said, "Ma-ma!" (She picked that up by hearing my kids say it.) She knew I was hurting and did her best to comfort me. Brownie left us a long time ago, but I still miss her, a LOT!

Several years ago, I went to visit my daughter in Michigan for the weekend. At the end of my stay, I noticed their black lab had begun to get more protective of my daughter. They'd told me they were trying for a child already. When I started chuckling, they asked why. I said, "You're pregnant. Congratulations." Then I had to explain why their dog was acting so strange. Two weeks after I got home, she called me and said, "You were right. I thought our dog was just being picky, but you nailed it." I don't mention the dog's name because I totally forgot about it. *Sigh* Was a good story to tell.
