Six beautiful donkeys (4 geldings, 2 females) now call Critter Farm their home.
There is so much going on around here today that I leave you with just one more picture for now. The picture below pretty clearly illustrates what yesterday was like. More on everything and everyone tomorrow, but after a rather stressful two-day journey from California, these donkeys...as Devin, the med tech who accompanied them, told me...were "wound tight".
My fuzzy friends were not at all certain that this new barn was a place they wanted to be. It took a lot of human "convincing". This convincing came in the form of pulling, pushing, clapping, coaxing, tempting, and, at times, carrying the hindquarters of cement-footed longears:
All six are now safely in the barn, loudly munching their hay.
Congrats Danni! I am so happy for you...are they noisy at night???
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait to hear more about them.
ReplyDeleteHooray!! I've been checking back all day hoping for an update.
ReplyDeletePoor donks just need some down time. More story and pics when you can, please.
Wow! Thank you for the photos. I am looking forward to more when you get a moment to rest. Yay! The donkeys are in your barn. You are truly a Critter Farm now.

ReplyDeleteYou aren't on your way to Critter Farm - you've definitely arrived. I know I've said it a half dozen times since you told us the donkeys were coming but I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
ReplyDeleteYeah! And super-dooper hooray! They are just lovely--and those smart, sensitive eyes melt my heart all the way over here in Maine. I can't wait to hear more about your new friends and their new home!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I know how busy I get caring for my goats, llamas, horse and chickens, but they arrived sporadically.
ReplyDeleteI know you are one busy donkey foster mama with all of those long-ears arriving in one day.
Post more pics when you can.
Congratulations! I know they will settle in quickly with such a good mommy to take care of them.
