Original: We are thrilled to announce the arrival of GTS Hawa el Adhar, (Dharby) born on March 30, at 11:50 PM. His name means "Winds of March" and since he was literally born in the middle of a pretty good rainstorm, I felt it was very appropriate. Julya was gracious enough to not only warn me that afternoon of Dharby's impending arrival, but also allowed me to be there when Dharby made his appearance. What a rush that was. It had to be the second hardest thing I've ever done in my life, to sit there holding my breath and NOT jump in to help Mom. After making mistakes with Bitty last year, I was determined to do things right this time around. Fortunately, Julya seemed to be an old hand at this, and delivered Dharby without a hitch. He turned out to be a pretty quick study in this new game, and was up on his feet and nursing within 20 minutes. He didn't have much choice; Mom couldn't have made that any easier if she'd had hands to place him at the milk bar with. ;-)
One other interesting note: Dharby just missed being born on his Daddy's birthday by only 10 minutes. Talk about a coincidence?
The jury is still out on his color. He could be very dark bay, black or gray. I guess only time will tell on that. But he has some very interesting facial markings, namely a large snip with a disconnected stripe and a very small star. He also has a left hind pastern that is white.
It will be interesting to see what he turns out to be
