JOHN AND I WERE ON OUR OWN THIS WEEK-END........

Everyone else were someplace else.  The donkeys don't seem to understand that when there is only 1 or 2 of us here, round up and feeding take longer.  They let us know that this is unacceptable and they expect better service.  Lynn and Linda should be back tomorrow which I'm sure will make the donkeys happy.  Suzanne is still in Indiana and will be for awhile. 

This morning Leddy decided he wanted to be in the Burro Barracks, and it took about 1/2 an hour to convince him that he wasn't going in there, he was going into his pen.    The donkeys in there all eat hay and have no issues that would keep them from competing for their share, so he could go in there.  That's how Oliver ended up in there and not in with Harley and Siggy the 2 minis he came in with.   

 Speaking of Harley we had 3 tours this morning, and one of the group wanted the donkeys in when they got here and out before they left.   The donkeys were in later than they usually are.  Muzzy is a large standard and usually runs in Cisco's pen because he knows Cisco leaves hay.  Cisco went out and Muzzy assumed possession of his leftovers.  Next thing we know, Harley, which could walk under Muzzy's belly with little effort comes in.  Muzzy pinned his ears, started yelling and bouncing his butt back and forth.  Harley backed off and I guess thought about it for a minute, came back in and let Muzzy know that hay was his.  I wish I had a camera with me, at one time Harley was circling the hay bunk, kicking up his heels with every step, and yelling at the top of his lungs.  Muzzy tried to stay in the battle, for a little while they both were eating out of the bunk at the same time.  But I guess Muzzy was taking too big of bites, because Harley took off again, and this time Muzzy had enough and left.  These minis don't seem to know they are small.  Arrow is in the Burro Barracks and has no problem holding his own.  He just wades into the action like he belongs there.  I was surprised that Muzzy wasn't more aggressive, maybe they realize the size difference and give the little guys a break......!!

 

Linda has been sharing some great pictures of the donkeys. This is Boaz, one of the rescue donkeys.  He has learned to beg using his tongue and wiggling his nose.  

 

I'm pretty sure this is Link, not sure how he got his nostrils that big or why........LOL

 

What a great picture of Leo, looks like he's king of the world......!!

 

  Would you like to make Cooper's world go around?   This is how it's done.

 

I'm not really sure if Lynn's little wild runner is LaRoy or Arrow or Siggy. 

 

All I do is win
