More Pictures of Zachary

Yup the new owner decided she liked Zachary for a name... the little guy was sold the day after he was born!
After work today I opened the gate so that XZachary and his mama could stretch their legs a little while I was there to supervise... but instead, everyone else came in! They all want to check out the new arrival...

Where did he go???

Once out of the pen, mama kept close tabs on him...

And she did her best to keep him away from the other donkeys.





I just love this picture, these are 3 of his older half-sisters (all have the same sire), and they actually lined up by age!!! Sarah Beth in the back was born 11/02/09, then Emily Ann born 10/02/10, and Jessica DeAnn born 01/30/11... guess what they are looking at?

Yup they wanted to see their baby brother, but his mama is having none of it!

Just a little bit closer...

And then she made sure he walked right on by!
It's ok girls, just be patient and before too long mama will be HAPPY to have you babysit for her ;)

Foaling Season Ends on a Good Note!

FINALLY Ellie Mae had her foal... I was beginning to think I was crazy, per my records from last year she was due no later than April 24, but she had barely an udder, and then it went away! Being a maiden jennet she wasn't REAL huge but big enough that I sure didn't think she could hold off until October... I was hoping for another boy so I could sell him and put more in the hay fund, prices are crazy... but the first thought in my head when I saw the foal this morning was OH I HOPE IT'S A GIRL SO I CAN KEEP IT! What a cutie... BUT it IS a boy, so someone is going to get a REALLY adorable lil donk!


Yes, he has spots in his blaze!



Looks just like Nicholas but MORE white on his hips...




Victor wants to know why he can't come in and play!

Still not much of an udder under there but lots of nipple and the lil guy is nursing away - just goes to show that like people, some donkeys are just different!

Happy Mother's Day!

Lindsey got me the cutest card...

On the inside it says:

Thanks for always putting up with me, even when I was a little pain in the... well, you know. Happy Mother's Day

Then a gal from the mini donkey yahoo group shared with us a card she got for her mother:

On the inside it says...

SO I GOT YOU THIS CHEAP-ASS CARD!

I about fell off my chair laughing and I figured it was a good thing Lindsey hadn't see this one!!

Groom Creek for the Day

Forgot my own camera but did manage to find a shot of me and Sherman riding Glory through the forst that one of my friends took :)

Another fantastic ride!!!
