Hello everyone,
INITIAL PIP HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TODAY AT 15:09. THE PIP IS CIRCLED IN THE PICTURE.
Congratulations Jackie and Shadow and the entire eagle family! We’ve been waiting for almost 3 years.❤
Jackie and Shadow’s previous chick Spirit pipped exactly 3 years ago to the date.

Hatching is a long process. It may take a day or more for the chick to fully emerge from the shell. Meanwhile, we will remain patient and hold the most positive thoughts.

Eddie Sweat once told a reporter, "I guess a groom gets closer to a horse than anyone. The owner, the trainer, they maybe see him once a day. But I lived with him worked with him."
While the world was elated with the 9th Triple Crown winner--Secretariat, it was a very sad day for Eddie and Secretariat...it was the day he boarded the plane to Kentucky to start his stud career at Claiborne Farm.
Eddie flew with Secretariat for the last time, shown here, Secretariat nibbles his sleeve and Eddie reassures Secretariat. Charlie Davis also has to be mentioned, as he was exercise rider and so close to Secretariat too!

Ancient Puppers

Five Assyrian dog figurines, made of clay with pigments, circa 650 BC. Names inscribed on the figurines represent protective qualities. Now on display in the British Museum.⁣
⁣
Each dog features its own name, emphasizing their symbolic roles in warding off evil and protecting households. Figurines like these were often buried beneath thresholds or placed in foundations to guard against evil forces.⁣
⁣
“Expeller of evil” (mušēṣu lemnūti) with white pigment and red spots⁣
“Catcher of the enemy” (kāšid ayyāb) with red pigment⁣
“Don’t think, bite!” (ē tamtallik epuš pāka) with white pigment⁣
“Biter of his foe!” (munaššiku gārîšu) with turquoise pigment⁣
“Loud is his bark!” (dan rigiššu) with black pigment⁣
