This is Susie Q. She is as wide as she is tall... kinda hard to see though since Ellie Mae decided she was important enough to get her picture taken too! Susie Q doesn't REALLY have two pairs of ears lol...
Unless you want to count the upside down ones underneath! The picture I took of those didn't come out very well but this is Taffy Jo:
Oh, forgot to say - "warning, donkey porn!!" ;) Seriously, THIS is Taffy Jo...
This will be her last foal. She had some pretty bad abcesses recently and Wade said carrying all this extra weight is just too hard on her... so even more reason to hope for a spotted jennet foal I can keep, since next year mama will be sold to a pet only, no breeding, retirement home. She's not really as old as she looks, but before I got her she was bred too often, too close together. Wish people would give the girls time to recover in between... Around here we don't breed back until after the current foal is weaned - don't want mama having to grow one on the inside at the same time she is growing one on the outside! And depending on how the timing of the births work with the breeding season, if a natural 6-month additional break doesn't happen naturally a minimum of every other foal, we skip a breeding season deliberately to make sure they get that break. Taffy's daughters should NOT look like this when they are 14 years old!
Any bets on whether I will have a baby or two in the morning???
