Bijou is still a little gimpy even in the boots, but I think he likes them. This morning when I got ready to take them off to check for rocks etc, he started trying to get away from me. So I assume they feel pretty good. I held his foot up when I took the boots off, put a little baby powder in them & stuck his foot back in it before setting it on the ground. Once he figured I wasn't going to take them away he stood real good for the other one. He's staying on his feet most of the time & is a little "talkie" guy whenever he sees us.
Redid Boaz's knee this morning, it looked real good. Vet called yesterday with the results of the biopsy, it was all proud flesh, no cancer or anything like that. So if we can keep the proud flesh from reforming, it should heal good, although I'm pretty sure it's going to take awhile. It doesn't slow him down any, this morning about 5am we were awakened by donkeys serenading us real close to the house. It sounded like a party of boys yelling at each other, so I assume one of the girls was batting her eyelashes at them. We recognized Boaz & Cisco, not sure who the others were. Actually Cheyenne came in with a chewed up ear, so it probably was her. She is only 32 inches tall, so I don't think she's going to get much out of the boys except for a sore ear.
This afternoon we went down to see Rambo. Amy said he is really a good guy & when we got there, he came over & wanted to be petted immediately, kept trying to run the horses away, so he could get all the petting.
He's such a good guy they've been calling him Bo instead of Rambo, she said he's too sweet to be a Rambo. Too bad she didn't see him in action when he was up here with the girls...!!!! (G)
Checked on Drifter yesterday in his new home. Crystal said he is absolutely perfect they are more than satisfied with him & how he has fit in at the stables. She said there is one woman that use to come out to see her friend take lessons. Now the woman comes out on her own to visit with Drifter. He also has a little 5 year old girl wrapped around his hoof, she's too young to read the "Do Not Feed" sign, so Crystal has had to intervene in treats headed his way. Crystal's 2 year old son, leads him around all the time & grooms on him. I love it when they get a great home like this one seems to be.
Also checked in on Maddie & Zorro. Bill said they are fitting in nicely, getting a routine & getting him & Kelli trained to their ways........!!! Sounds like typical donkeys to me. He did say he cut back on the small amount of hay he was giving them because Maddie looks like she is gaining weight in her neck crest. There is so much to eat on their property, I'm not surprised, I hope this isn't going to become a problem, they don't want to put them in a pen, & I certainly don't want them to either.

there is a lady at the blog "a day in the life of Mrs. Cravitz" that is looking for a donkey but I don't know how near she is too you.
Sounds like she has some checked out. There aren't any donkey rescues within 2 hours of me, so I doubt that she is very close.
