Z's Diary

Diary Post #323

It's BATH TIME! Photo by Sarah Campion

Happy Friday!

I hope all of you are making some fun plans for the weekend. I am! This morning I had the most relaxing time. Not only did I have a very cool and refreshing BATH, but I also got to play in the water with my guys! It felt terrific!

As you can see, it is a very pretty morning in Lexington. Lane’s End is such a beautiful place to live. I am really enjoying myself.

Sarah took these photos this morning so you could get a chance to see ME as I am at this very moment. I’m doing everything just as a should….as an expectant MOM…. and I am really starting to have that ‘IN FOAL’ look.

Baby-to-be and I are doing GREAT! Everyone is so gracious to ME! My dear paddock pal, Tasty Temptation, and I are enjoying every single moment of this attention. I must say…I really feel SO PAMPERED and LOVED. LUCKY ME!

Gotta' love those SUDS!

This weekend, as has been the case often this summer, both Del Mar and Saratoga are featuring some very competitive Grade 1 races. This time for 3 year old fillies….one on the main track and one on the dirt. Other race tracks are also offering some terrific races. I hope you have a great time handicapping and enjoying our SPORT!

With Love,
Hugs to All~
Z

    True to form, you’re looking at the camera just knowing someone is taking a picture of you. Funny girl.

    There is a lot of horse there to rinse down. I’m glad you enjoy water sports. I remember one of my favorite things to do in the summer was to give my mare Candy Buck a good bath and grooming in order to see her buckskin coat shine. It gave me a chance to cool down and play too! And then the two of us would go relax under a tree and I’d give her plenty of kisses on her soft muzzle. Ah, summer is winding down, and fall is just around the corner. The passing of each season is just a little sweeter this year because as each new season appears we are just a little closer to the arrival of Baby Z.

    Does your tail get “done” with conditioner?

    I always loved combing tails so every hair was silky and separated when I washed my beloved horses.

    You are as beautiful as ever, Queen Z!

    Zenny – you are starting to really fill out in your tummy area – it’s really great to see you. I miss you so much – I can’t just go see you are Barn 55 any time I want…. But I am happy you are safe and sound. Love

    Zenny- you look gorgeous! As others have pointed out, you really know how to “strike a pose” when there is a camera around- too cute! It does my heart good to see you as you are “right now”- please thank Sarah for us! Love you much <3

    @Judy Berube and Terry Crow: “Let It Ride” is still on my “wait list” on Netflix-grr! I might have to borrow one of yours after all! I have the documentary “Jockey” right now- haven’t watched it yet.

    Still posing for the camera I see! I guess old habits don’t easily go away. I want to go live at Lane’s End and have all those cute guys work around me!

    Hay Z I washed my hair in the shower this morning. I know pretty much how it felt. All that cool/make that hot for me!, water, bubbles and rinse.

    Just make sure to close your eyes so you don’t get soap in them. Soap stings.

    Oh, Zenyatta! I miss seeing you! Will I ever get over it?! Doubtful! But to Dottie, John, Mario and the Mosses you must, at times, seem so far away.

    Thanks for the photos Dottie ;=)
    Will have to settle for that for now!

    Zenyatta you are so beautiful. Glad to hear they are taking such good care of you. Wish you were here though still settng the track on fire. Can’t help but notice that in both photos above, you have direct eye contact with the camera. Are you imagining yourself having your picture taken in the winner’s circle? We miss having you make our hearts jump. Have a great weekend with your pals.
