RAMBO HAS STARTED HIS JOURNEY..............

Rambo loaded in the trailer this morning and we all headed to Monique's where he is spending the night before loading in Dave's trailer for a long trip up to Colorado tomorrow.  No games or surprises, from him he can be obnoxious and pushy, but lately it's almost like he's found out that being a bully doesn't win friends.  He's really been s good boy the last few days.  

This video was made yesterday, as you can see Rambo doesn't even have a lead on.

Lynn practicing his burro whispering techniques.......seems to be working......!!

Dave drove down from Colorado to pick up  his new "fur" kid Tito from Monique

Dave and Tito getting to know each other

Rambo meeting Kid aka Cosmo.  Kid is a full baby brother to Lynn and Linda's Link.  

Some of Monique's TIP burros for training

The TIP program is really a wonderful idea for getting these burros ready to be adopted.  Monique gets a couple of burros at a time from BLM, trains them for a few weeks and finds them good loving homes.  Tito is one of her graduates, Dave adopted him long distance and saw him in person today for the 1st time.   Tito will be pack burro racing this summer with Dave.  

Monique showing the way to a donkey's heart...........inner ear scratching.......!!

When we were coming home this afternoon, there was a rattlesnake catching the last rays of sunshine, stretched out across the dirt road into our place.  Not a good place to be, most people that live out here will run over them without a second thought.  We all got out to get a closer look and it didn't even move.  John poked it with a stick and then it moved, coiled and started rattling.  Didn't seem interested in getting out of the road, but finally crawled off into the weeds.  It continued rattling as it disappeared, I guess it wanted to make sure we knew it wasn't happy being woken up from it's nap.  They sure are pretty, right after they shed their old skin, so bright and shiny.  I'd like to think there isn't any on the property, but I'm sure there are.  We all try to stay alert when we are out where there are weeds and places where they can hide.
