Sonnet finally comes home from Alamo Pintado


Sonnet was finally released from the hospital and thanks to our wonderful families she was able to come home! Luckily the day we went to pick her up, the girls were on their first day of Spring Break! So me, Ashley, Brooke, Julia (& of course Little Dish) jumped in the truck and trailer and headed to Santa Ynez. It was very exciting! The girls took Dakota and found Sonnet in the pipe corrals with the racehorses. Dr. Erin, her wonderful vet, suggested the girls take her to graze while I dealt with the paperwork. While the girls were enjoying the sunshine they got to see a stallion collected! It was very entertaining for them and I heard about it the whole way home. Sonnet was clearly so happy to see Ashley - she missed her so much and their reunion was very touching.
 
While driving home we saw a huge field of wild mustard flowers. The scene was so beautiful we decided to pull over and have an impromptu photo shoot. The beauty of the scene really captured the moment and the pictures are some of my favorites!
