BONNIE UPDATE........

 Dr. Jeremy was out again today.  Suzanne messaged him yesterday because Bonnie was still 3 legged lame and holding that front foot up if she wasn't laying down.  He said he would come out today.  You might know by the time he got here early this afternoon, she had probably blown the abscess on her own.  She's not walking 100% sound,  but he said he doubts that she will for months if ever.  She's going to have to grow some good hoof  and  hopefully internal structure to replace what she's got now.  

John and I are going to watch race cars tonight at Tucson Speedway, but will help Suzanne feed a little early.  Once we have everyone in their pens, we will let Bonnie out to roam around for awhile while we feed everyone else.  She'll get a little exercise and not have to worry about nosy donkeys in her business.

Yesterday Siggy and Beefy were hanging out together.  I told John when Beefy first got here and Siggy was following him all day long, jumping up and biting Beefy's butt, they would probably end up buddies.  If so, it will look rather silly, but stranger things have happened.  The last day or so, they haven't paid much attention to Bonnie.

LOL........busy doesn't even register on my busy meter...........!!! But as I always say, I'm not bored......!!! Today is the 1st time I've had a chance to see how far behind I am on the blog, I think I broke another record. Got a message today from a woman wanting to know if we have a newsletter and if so she'd like to receive it. It would be nice to have one 3 or 4 times a year, but I need to get organized with what I already have.

Things should slow down once the snowbirds go home and the weather gets too hot to be going out to see donkeys. We've had so many visitors this winter, probably twice as many as last year. It's wonderful to have people so interested in the donkeys and a lot of them are people that come every year before they go home, they have their favorites and ask about some that aren't here anymore.

Good to hear from you, you've been a loyal follower for a long time. Hope everything is good with you.
