Can’t even put into words the emotion this perfect headshot made me feel. Souti is a freak yearling filly from a spectacular pedigree, that bares the name of my incredible special doggo who sadly passed away in 2020. When I made the request, I asked that the snip resemble a cross like marking that Souti had on her chest which was especially prominent when she was a puppy and had darker fur. Sara even contacted me to make sure she got the cross like snip as close to the real thing as possible. I didn’t have the best examples for her but she did an absolutely spectacular job and I genuinely shed some tears as I looked at this wonderful portrait today. I know it might seem silly, but this just feels so so special to me. Thank you so much Sara, I cannot begin to express my gratitude ❤️

A few days ago, I got a surprise in my PM box.

A wonderful player here in the Sim, gifted me a headshot of Wolfman Jack.
I've been struggling with health issues and also with a month long thing in trying to get a beloved dog put to sleep, so I've been pretty down and out for some time.

So this gift really meant a lot to me, I was so touched by getting it that I cried...this time though, not in sorrow or feeling hopeless about things, but because it was something really nice to experience, and it just seems like lately there hasn't been a whole lot of that in my life.

I am just so Very Grateful to the person who gifted the headshot.

I also want to thank the artist for doing such a great job on it!
I love how Wolfman Jack has his ears pinned and his neck stretched out as if trying with everything he has to win a race. I also like the orange shadow roll, and the headband-strap...as that is the main color in my silks.

Just wanted to get hyped about the All Weather Horse of the Year, Optical Phenomena!

And she's a chestnut mare who does not like to be headed at any point in any race. Very strong willed this one!
