“She Will Be Yours”
“I’m going to name her Jackie because today is my Dad’s birthday. His name was Jack.”
“She will be yours then.”
Although we had never met before, Ashley flung her arms around me, weeping as she said, “Thank you. I love her already.”
Now nearly eight months later Jackie left today for her new forever home with Ashley Shinkwin. But she didn’t go alone.
“I’m going to call him Charcoal.” He was less than a month old when Ashley looked into the gated pen where momma Shat Acres Brandy Onyx lay chewing her cud, with a black bull calf by her side. I like him a lot. That's the one I want”
“He will be yours then.”
Shat Acres Charcoal and Shat Acres Jackie were pasture mates and best buds all summer. And today they left to live together happily ever after with one of the most caring Highland breeders we have had the pleasure to meet.
Ray and I could not be happier than to lead Jackie and Charcoal to the waiting trailer of Ashley Shinkwin and Kevin Kukucka, knowing a pampered and loving life lay ahead for them.
