I guess we aren't on their route anymore. They were hanging around, laying on the backyard wall sunning, doing all that cat stuff, but no more, haven't seen hide nor hair of them. Had to cancel the yellow one's appointment last Monday. But if we see him again in the future, we'll try again.
Still fighting the battle of the beans, although there aren't that many anymore, but the donkeys are still finding some. Linda called from Colorado last night and said Quilla's legs are starting to really break out and keep her busy doctoring. I do think they have been better up there, it's not as hot and the sun probably isn't as direct, I really believe the sun is a large part of the problem.
They don't plan on coming down here until in November, and I'm sure by then it will be a lot cooler in Colorado and she won't have to doctor so much.
Boaz has an old wound on his coronet, which is where the hoof grows out. It's like where our finger or toenails grow out. At sometime in his life he has had damage to the coronet and like when we damage our nails a lot of times they grow weird after that. When they left here, it had split and looked nasty. For the trip we wrapped it, so one of the other donkeys wouldn't step on it in the trailer, or he wouldn't get it hung up and rip it off. She sent a picture of it and it is really growing out gnarly, so they are going to have the farrier come out and if nothing else cut off all the excess that is growing in all directions. She'll probably have to wrap it for the trip again, it takes about a year for a hoof to grow completely out.
