Hello everyone! I recently got to spend some time with Coal and his band. He has been spending a lot of time near the road lately and makes it easier for us! He is still holding his band of Betty Blue, Busy Blue, Maggie, and Dixie. I have not seen the band close up since this past fall so it was a treat to find them one afternoon. Everyone looks well despite our harsh winter.
The last few days have been very cold but are slowly starting to warm up. I am hoping to get out in the park several times this week and possibly make a hike out to check on Lacey, so stay tuned! Enjoy this look at Coal’s band and thanks, everyone!
