Thanks Susan for the use of the picture...!!!
That's what he is, a lover boy. Bennie & Nina went to a wonderful home last year. Bennie was always the 1st to greet people when tours came out to visit the donkeys. He never met a person he didn't like, & he especially loves children. As you can tell from this picture Susan took, he is soaking up the attention like a sponge. Nina is in the background, she was always a little shy, but it looks like she was hanging in there for some of the attention also. I wish all donkeys could have a home like these two have, thanks to Tom & Susan.
Michael one of our neighbor's has been helping us with morning chores, since John, the Uncoordinated broke his arm. Michael's getting ready to leave in a couple of days for awhile. We're certainly going to miss his help. This morning a couple of other friends came by to help. I couldn't believe how quickly we got chores done, including picking up poo. We were done before 9AM......which may be a record..........!!!!!! (G) Thanks Amy & Brian..............!!!!
Another friend stopped by to visit & was amazed at how well Jenny is walking now. He remembers when she could hardly move, & had her hind legs tucked under her to keep as much weight off her front feet as possible. She steps out lively now, in fact John & TJ were standing talking, & Jenny thought John should be dispensing a treat of some kind, so she butted him. He is a little cautious about the broken arm & started yelling for me to come get her. She's big enough she probably could damage his arm if she butted hard enough. She's butted me a couple of times usually up against a corral panel, which isn't fun.........!!! She hasn't had any pain meds in months & we are hoping when her feet grow out again, that she will have good strong feet. They look so much better than they did, at least on the outside. I can only assume the inside is reaching a level of comfort. Sometime when the vet is out here or when we're taking someone up to Gilbert, we'll make the effort to get more x-rays of her feet, to see what changes there are, since last July. I don't know if she would ever be "useable", but our main objective was to get her comfortable, & she is that. She also has a boyfriend, she seems to like Chili & he is usually wherever she is. They aren't bonded like Lucy & Buster, but they do hang out together.
