Lynn, Linda and the donkeys going to Colorado are still here. The big holdup is, the travel papers each donkey has to have are somewhere else. They haven't arrived in the mail and Dr. Jeremy hasn't sent them, so traveling is on hold for the moment. It's not that bad I guess, it gives them more time to make sure everything is packed, and their RV is "summerized" etc........!! But there is one small wrinkle, their 1st pack burro race is next week-end. It would be nice if everyone got a few days rest before the race, people and donkeys. Fingers cross for Monday.........!!!
Other than that, things are going pretty good, the weather has been and still is nice and cool. Most days are in the 70's, lots of sunshine and that's the forecast for the next few days. I have a feeling when summer comes it will be quick and hot. April 19, 1989 is the official earliest 100 degrees on record, but I would imagine over the years before they kept good records, there have been others.
The donkeys are enjoying this weather, although the flies are terrible. They are wearing their fly masks 24/7, because the flies get up before we do. I've got out 4 fly traps and they are really buzzing......LOL Some of the skin conditions are getting started, we're having to doctor. Boaz will be going to Colorado, hopefully that will help with his knee. Right now we're keeping it wrapped. The scar tissue on his knee, gets scruffed when he lays down and bleeds which draws flies. If we cover it they can't get to it, and it doesn't get bloody again.
Got another pretty picture of Rambo from Steve in Colorado.
The consensus here in Arizona is........good thing Rosie, and Lynn the donkey don't have access to that pretty wooden fence. They both seem to think wood is a food group........!!! LOL
Lynn and Linda have invited us up to Colorado this summer for a visit and to see a pack burro race. we've about decided to go up in July when the Fairplay race runs. It's the longest race 26 miles for the long one and most of our donkeys that run will be in it. Of course with all those donkeys we probably won't even recognize them, I guess running Fairplay is a biggie, so there will probably be lots of runners. It doesn't even interfere with my car racing.
We'll have to check with Suzanne when she gets back to make sure that date doesn't collide with her plans also. I think she gets back late Tuesday and will be bringing 2 of her granddaughters with her for the summer. She said they love animals, so they should have fun.

All Linda saw was their butts, as they headed out to explore. Our donkeys are so use to new donkeys coming in it's like no big deal. The new ones are usually so busy exploring they don't even pay any attention to the others. Sugar was here years ago when she was less than a year old, wonder if she remembers? |

| This is Turbo and Link in their shelter. They are the only ones tall enough to be able to almost look over the boards. I have a feeling by the time they get back in the fal, Link will have no problem looking over the top.....!! |
