Good Morning,
Look who arrived to share all of my ‘new experiences’ with ME during the next several days….MY OWNERS!
I am so, so excited. Yesterday, we spent some time out in my paddock area together for a bit….and then some more time together indoors in my barn. We cuddled, we snuggled, and we just ‘hung out’. No treats…as my diet is being so carefully monitored these days….just sharing TRUE LOVE, FRIENDSHIP and JOY!
As you can see, it was a bit chilly and the snow is definitely on the ground…but it didn’t change anything for us. We had a great time sharing so many cherished moments together!
I am so HAPPY!
Lane’s End is also TOO CUTE! They had special coveralls made for both of them. Their names are personally stitched on the garments. This way, they’ll have something special to wear when ‘hanging out with ME’.
Everything is STATUS QUO with my ‘physical signs as I progress towards becoming a MOM’. Each day is a step closer…but other than that no further news.
I must stay, MY OWNER looks pretty terrific here….but I DO TOO (Blush, Blush) …especially when one considers I’m right at full term in my pregnancy!
A HIGH HOOF to our great photographer…who knew exactly how to capture the perfect pose.
This is truly a photo for our memory books!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~(Yeah, Barretts on a great sale last night. Numbers are UP!)

I’ve been stewing about how I’m going to find out any Zenny news while I’m at work. Can’t get on to Facebook and I don’t tweet; I can get to Bloodhorse, DRF, and HRN. So, I’ll just check back with website and rely on the Zesters to post something, or other general racing sites.
Wow! Over 100K ‘likes’ … that’s amazing!cv
kelly-Allentown, Pa
Oh Zenny. can’t stop thinking about you. Starting to feel like Mel Fisher ( the late great treasure hunter) Everyday he would wake up & say “today’s the day.” I feel like today IS the day. Love you so much!
Kendra
Joanna, someone earlier suggested setting up a Google News Alert. Just a thought.
Beth Buckley
Come on Z…cross the finish line already.

Another great poem, Trina! Zenny has 100,079 FB friends, just like that! No new tweets or twirps yet.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the birth of this baby foal, no one is more anxious than Zen and Team Z, I’m sure! I’ve had a feeling it would be on Wednesday and Zen has a little girl on the way. We are all praying for an easy delivery and healthy foal! Zen has been such an inspiration to so many young and old that this baby is loved by many and she/he isn’t even here yet! How I wish I could be there to see this wonderful event! Will be checking website all day!
Darlene Daniels
I had a dream of all the angels and all the animals at the Rainbow Bridge leaning over the edge of heaven, watching and waiting with all the rest of us. John Henry was right in front.
Stephanie in San Diego (been calm but now pacing with everyone else..)
What a wonderful dream Delrene!
Does anyone have an updat on Tasty?

Dallas from Texas
Good morning baby girl. Sorry to be late posting but I’m sure you still have a few more days until little baby comes along (10th). I was happy to hear that your family was in town to be with you. You’re in my prayers, love baby girl.
Allie from Texas
Thinking all things positive, Zen.This morning I watched your 2009 Breeders Cup Classic win and have been sending calming thoughts to your picture, Girls Relaxing in the Sun. Kisses to your soft nose.

Here’s an AMAZING shot of a Street Cry colt who is DEFINITELY RELATED TO YOU, ZENNY!

Wow!

Dear Abigail:
That photo is amazing. You can really imagine what Z’s baby might look like. This colt really resembles her. Thank you. Hugs, JB
Trina Nagele in So Cal
“Mini-Zenyatta”–but going to get bigger–where will this handsome fellow be? Thanks, Abigail!
Rosemary McCauley - So. Cal.
What a beautiful colt! He could be her twin, right down to the hind socks and the blaze, complete with dapples. Does anyone know anything about him, who owns him, his name, etc., etc.? This is one I would like to follow up on.
AmyK
I saw the picture of him last night while waiting – He really is a “mini Zen” in appearance and if he has a fraction of her talent he’ll do very well. We need to find out his name and connections to follow his progress.
Lauren
Dear Zenny – Good morning beautiful girl – I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family. I am anxiously following your foal status on Twitter. It is so sweet that you have your own Twitter account. God bless you and the beautiful prince or princess you will soon be delivering. A special kiss to Tasty also. Love you beautiful girl.
JAG Excited More Than Ever ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Auntie Judy / So. CA
♥ WOW Zenny you reached over 100,000 fb fans! ONLY YOU could manage that, Big Mamma!
I fell asleep last night, but held my breathe as I opened the diary – I hope things are on track (with Tasty, too!)
I’ll be back to see if there’s an Official Announcement from your “voice” ♥ Dottie.
Giddy Auntie Judy (almost over the Full Moon with anticipation!) :-D
XOXOXOXO

“Over the full moon…” TOO CUTE! High hoof!

I am definitely over the full moon. This is so exciting!
Delrene in Carlsbad, Ca
Hi Zenyatta and fans. As most of you just checking in for any news.
Stephanie in San Diego – It was Darlene Daniels that had the dream. Me, I was so tired after being up in Ramona I slept with no dreams…..
Look at you with over 100,000 Facebook fans and still climbing.
Yeah.
The poster (can’t find it now) that said, something to the effect that perhaps you are “going to go through the birthing process like your famous stretch run, ” that theory certainly has merit!
Patience and typing today is certainly slow, website is very busy. May you have a wonderful day and we all look forward to any news. So appreciative Dottie. thanks so much.
Shannon From Cool
For mares foaling for the first time, the date can be a bit unpredicable. We have no choice but to wait patiently. Thank heavens for this blog for us all to pour our love into for her. But when Zenyatta does foal, we can expect fireworks across the country.
Barbara Wood (Texas)
Happy Birthday, Christy, and thank you again, Trina!
@Darlene–beautiful dream. Wish I could have some of those.
Just checking in–off to Wal-Mart. Back later/ Hang in there, Z.
Trina Nagele in So Cal
WOW-over 100,000 fb fans before the baby comes! Congratulations to Gloria Jeanne and Amy K for in true Zenny-like fashion crossing the finish line in front though the goal when set seemed so far away! High hoof to Gloria Jeanne for her eye-on-the-prize stamina and to Amy K for inspired outreach in the final push last night!
AmyK
Thanks Trina,
Have been reading the diary daily with poor internet reception so haven’t been posting. Yesterday, (and hopefully still today), I was able to do more than I have in months. Thank you Zen for the intervention – happy to assist you in any goals you might have. Enjoy all the information, banter, jokes, even the tears of both joy and happiness for the stories shared here in the world of Zen. Zen and her family inspire us to be better people. Can’t wait for her to be ready to present Baby Z for all the world to see!
Judy from South Carolina
Good Morning All…….Good Morning QUEEN Z……….
After reading Mike’s tweet from YESTERDAY and now the one from TODAY (and after two hour’s of trying,finally reactivating my Twitter account during the wee hours and finding I STILL don’t know how to tweet, twitter or whatever it is that you do LOL) I will be with all of you here today anxiously awaiting THE BLESSED EVENT.
I found the information about the solar flares from the posting in Arizona REALLY fascinating and ironic in timing and the FB numbers reaching the golden number tell me that today may truly be THE DAY.
It better be LOL because my husband has the phone number of the local psych facility on our speed dial now……………..
SO glad I found all of you to share in this with! LOVE YOU Z!
Karen Gogue /Nanny-Granny status: notyetnotyetnotyet ... aaugh! Zombie Coma!
Well dear girl! I am going to take a break from b♥by bundle watch and go see me a ROCK! Yes, that’s right girl, that huge rock is right here in Long Beach in Bixby Knolls. It is just a few blocks from me! YIPPEE! I need a change of pace – TVG just reported that it may be couple more days! But what do they really know? Dottie can’t wait for your next update. See you when I get back girl! Love you and b♥by too!
JAG Excited More Than Ever ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Auntie Judy / So. CA
Hey! If it’s a couple of more days that would take her to the 8th or 9th… drum roll please………………….
Go get a change of scenery, gf!!

Ms Zenyatta, Sweetheart, I will be leaving for lunch in a few minutes. Do not do a thing until I get back, OKAY, PLEASE! I will have to take the whole hour away from my desk..the puter…the lifeline to YOU right now. I love you, I am wondering since Tasty is right across from you, what does she have to say…she will learn alot from you and what she should expect. I love you….Lisag
Linda Edwards in NJ
Hi Zenny: Missed writing last night but I am thinking of you! You do look great in this photo–both you and YOUR Mom!
I can’t wait Zenny, can’t wait.
Love you.
