VIDEO FROM COLORADO

Although they still don't have any confirmed races in Colorado, some of the runners are going out and at least getting some exercise.  There are 3 in the pipeline, I think everyone has their fingers crossed that they will happen.  

This is a recent outing with some of the Arizona donkeys, although I guess Miss Donnie aka Jenny is now a Colorado donkey since she's been adopted.

Here is a video Linda sent, showing what they have been up to in Colorado

Suzanne's grandkids will be leaving bright and early tomorrow morning headed home with their parents.  We're really going to miss them, they are a lot of help with the donkeys and they seem to have a good time when they are here.  

Today they all went on a jeep tour in Tucson.  John doesn't do jeep tours much anymore, for one thing the tourist trade is almost non-existant because of the virus shut down.  They will still call him if they have a big tour and they need him to drive, other than that he's pretty much retired.  But they still let him take visiting family on a tour, so off they went.  It's cooled off a little bit, so hopefully it won't be too hot, riding around in an open jeep.  They even took the 4 year old, he's interested in cactus, been learning the names of prickly pear and cholla.  I'm pretty sure he will see some saguaro today.  

The donkeys are all doing pretty good on their lock up.  At first they were pretty noisy about it, now they just stare at us when we are out, hopeful but resigned I guess.  The last four we got haven't had a chance to roam on the property, they came in, and have been in their pens every since.  

I've been in touch with the surgical clinic in Gilbert about Macho Man's sheath surgery and we all decided to wait until it is cooler, it's just too hot to be hauling 3 hours one way, having surgery hauling back and healing with the unwanted attention of flies.  We've been thru surgery on a sheath with Cisco, in fact 3 times.  Don't remember what time of year it was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the middle of summer.  

John is anxiously waiting for his leaf sweeper to get here to start picking up beans.  I sure hope it does what it says it will do, there are a lot of beans to deal with before the donkeys can go out.  We'll probably concentrate on the Burro Barracks first, to get it cleaned up so they can go over there during the day to snoop around.  Then the 10 acres, I don't think we'll be sweeping Burroland, they'll just have to wait until it is safe without human intervention.
