| WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO SHOW UP THIS MORNING |
You might notice the barrel on the left side & if you look real close you will see see flame. This was John's answer to the cold weather this morning. It felt so good I wish he had done it yesterday, when all the volunteers were here trying to keep warm. It was so cold this morning when we went out, I came right back in called volunteers & told them there probably wouldn't be a lot of people coming today as cold as it was, that John & I could handle it. No sense in anyone else trying to stay warm.
Actually by afternoon the sun came out & it wasn't bad at all. Had a few people show up & the donkeys appreciated getting treats. They vocally let people know, what they wanted, as soon as the people got out of their cars.
Mike called this morning & was going to bring Zeke up to visit with the people. I called him & told him as cold as it was there probably wouldn't be many people. But............ I am going to keep them in mind for next year. I know the people would be excited to see an "old" prospector & his donkey walking around. Most of the people that come out, have never been around donkeys at all, so that would be a lot of fun.
Tonight at feeding time, Tucker got himself in trouble. I was bringing their mush in the gate, & when I turned around to latch it, I felt something on my back. Turned to look & Tucker had reared up & put his feet on my shoulder. No, no..........this isn't allowed, if Mocha wants to put up with that nonsense, that's her problem.

I was not amused..........!!! I grabbed his front leg, as hard as I could, turned my back, & ignored him the whole time I was in the pen dumping the mush.
According to the "experts", this is suppose to hurt their feelings & break them of what could become dangerous behavior. He bounced off me & started pestering Mocha, so I don't think it bothered him very much...............!!! He'll be 3 months old Tuesday & is growing like a weed. He's already taller than the minis, & seems to be doing very well, I hope he outgrows whatever made him choke on hay. The vet didn't tell us how long we will feed him mush before we "try" hay & dry pellets, so I guess we'll just play it by ear & see how it goes. We've got a system that works for feeding Mocha her hay, but it would be nice if he could run loose on the property. He runs around & around their pen, but he'd have a lot more fun in a larger area.
