Winners will be announced today for Dryandra, a numbat (banded anteater) from Australia who is part of Breyer's Wild Animal Series.

Generally winners begin receiving emails late in the morning, but I won't be home.
It's time for another double injection into my sacroiliac joints. They are not something I look forward to doing, but they are over fairly quickly and provide pain relief for a while.
The doctor who does them is very good and this will be the fourth one she's given me.
She surprised me this past week, though. I had an appointment with her Monday morning and I showed up in full horse-girl wear.
She strode into the exam room, paused, and said, "Oh, I love your shirt!"
Turns out she is a horsey gal, too! We started gabbing and talked horses for about ten minutes before getting down to discussing my back and today's injection. I walked out of there not only with directions for today's procedure but with her cell number so I could text her and make arrangements for her to join me at the barn to see the horses and Tim's horse drawn vehicle collection.
So, wish me luck on two counts today - that the procedure goes well and that I get the pain relief I am hoping for, and that when I get home and check my email, I find one from Breyer telling me that I've won Dryandra.
Stay 'tooned!
