Surprised us, usually this time of year the days are heating up and the wind is blowing almost every day. So last night's thunder storm complete with lightening was pretty much unexpected. At least it waited until after chores to rain quit before chores this morning........!!!
This morning John went for wound care. His leg is actually looking pretty good, but it's going to take weeks if not months to completely heal. The longer the wound is open the more opportunity for infection, so..........Today they offered him a new treatment call EpiCord. They had already made sure it would be covered by our health care providers before offering it. It probably isn't the cheapest treatment but if it does it's job it should heal a lot quicker. One good thing is instead of getting wound treatment every other day, this will stay on for a week at a time.
This week Lynn and Linda hauled the donkeys to their new home where the oleanders got "murdered" last week. From all the updates we've gotten they have settled in nicely and are having a great time inspecting their new home.
This is heading up the driveway to their new pen. They seem more than willing to "go along to get along", they'll be a lot of fun to work with I would imagine.
Yesterday was dental day for little Justin. Dr. Debra use to practice in Cochise County and although she has moved out of the area, she still comes back once a month for dental appointments. Justin has been acting like his teeth needed attention, so Linda and Lynn wanted to get them done before they head back to Colorado in May.

| This wasn't Justin had planned for the day, so Lynn had to help him behave. Cheyenne was just along as a buddy burro. |

| It doesn't hurt him, but it probably isn't very comfortable either. |
Linda brought these 2 little pieces of something home and handed them to me. At first I thought it was his wolf teeth, but she said it was actually tartar.
 |
| Dr. Debra told Linda she knows we don't feed sweet feed so we obviously are feeding too many treats........!!! Might as well plead quilty, Dr. Jeremy has told us the same thing. So many of our donkeys have probably never had treats in their lives until they got here, so..........maybe we overdo it just a little bit........!! LOL |
Justin can be a brat if he wants to, but I guess he finally decided Lynn was a formidable opponent and was fairly cooperative, so as a treat, he and Cheyenne got to go shopping at Tractor Supply.
 |
| Boots on.........going in........!! |
 |
| Nothing to get excited about I guess |
 |
| Wonder what he thought Cheyenne was..........LOL |
 |
| "hmmm if we could ditch these leads, we could really have some fun..........!!" |
 | |
| Justin waiting in check out |
Time to head for home........!!

That was so cute seeing them walk around the store. You could bake your own cookie treats and put little sugar and make them healthier. Just kidding, I can hear you laughing now. Thought that would bring a firm "no"
I couldn't make anything that would be a bigger hit than animal crackers.........!!!! LOL
I was just having a bit of fun. I have no idea when you might make anything with your busy days. I think I have seen low sugar animal crackers in the stores here. I imagine the cheap brands have less sugar than the real thing.
They love them all each cookie has about 8 calories, BUT, very rarely do they get just one, there in lies the problem..........LOL
Had no idea stores would even allow donkeys in the building. I would be so happy to shop if I knew I ran a chance of being able to give ear rubs and butt scratches :)
Last month a man in Texas too him Longhorn steer into Tractor Supply. I can identify a problem with the spread of their horns. Now little donkeys are little enough to not cause trouble and they didn't.
