FLY SEASON


It's been warm enough the last couple of nights that I didn't put Snowy's blanket on her. Unfortunately the warm weather means fly season is here. I put up fly traps yesterday & sure enough, the flies are moving in. Hope they aren't just catching the dumb ones.....!!!!

It won't be long until they start bothering the donkey's eyes & faces. Then it will be time to drag out the fly masks for the season. We have 5 that get allergy meds, because of watery eyes. Donkeys have allergies just like people do. I don't know what they are allergic to, hopefully not hay. Actually there are equines that are allergic to hay that have to be fed pelleted feed. John & I both swear we are allergic to bermuda hay. We both sneeze when we mess with it.
