Isla is now 8 pounds 15oz as of 24/04/2026 - she is a bit overweight for her age but is definitely thriving. Grandma and Poppy's little ray of sunshine.
I have a wonderful update on my first grandchild, my first grand daughter was born in the very early wee hours of this morning (19/02/2026) via caesarian section, her name is Isla Jae, born 8 week premature and weighing just 1099g (2 pounds 4 oz in weight).
She was in the Specialist Neo Natal ward for the first 6 weeks of her life before graduating to a proper baby bed in the RHH (Royal Hobart Hospital). She has since been transferred to one of the hospitals on the North West coast of Tasmania (closer to home) where I would assume she will be there till what was meant to be her true due date where she will be discharged into her parents care. During this time, she was on the really good milk (mother's milk) but that changed when mum started to dry up, so she has been put on the bottle and is drinking like the little champ she is.
Rest easy Dad, 1936 - 2025, you're home now and with mum. No more strokes or dementia, give mum a kiss & cuddle from me please 
As of the 31st December 2023 I have been on this game for 6,000 days. That's an achievement in itself!
If you are in need of blupping schedules that cover all the current breeds of horse, pony and donkey including crossbreeds, as well as the Poitou Donkey (2nd last blup schedule in my forum), go to my EC forum, its all there.
Rest easy mum, 3rd Feb 1934 to 30th July 2023 Love you to the moon and back
Can everyone who congratulates me take the time to check out my EC's home page - its in need of help with how many see it (helps with rankings too)
Happy to accept all friend requests.
Something for you to think about:
This game is the mirror image of yourself, so think carefully before you do or say anything on this game. If you are kind in real life then you will be kind here, however if you are rude to others then this game may not be for you.
A little about me, my name is Janet, I am a mature player and have been playing this game for over 10 years now. I still enjoy playing this game and hope to for some time to come.
My username came from my beloved mare, Bronze. Registered name Indian Bronze. She was a registered part bred Arab cross Thoroughbred mare.
She was also the greatest love of my life. She laid down in the sun one morning to have a warm after a bitter minus 6 degree C frost here in my small town and never woke up - 27th June 2017. She was 34 years of age when she left me and had owned me for 32 and a half wonderful years. Missed daily but dearly loved by all who knew her.
I still really enjoy this game. However there are elements of this game I really do not like:
Admin stopped listening to us older players who have been here the longest sadly a long time ago (those of us who still play the game).
