Baby Donkeys Are Everything

Have you seen those baby miniature donkey pictures online and just thought they're too good to be true?  You were wrong.  They are just that good.  ​

Kittens are cute, yes.  But newborn kittens?  Well... not so much.  I mean you can stretch your imagination enough to remember that in a couple of weeks they will be adorable kittens.  It takes patience.  Same goes for puppies.  And, furthermore, both kittens and puppies (and bunnies and don't get me started on baby birds...) are definitely eventually cute - but they do not look exactly as they will as adults.

Baby donkeys?  Within an hour of birth they are just tiny donkeys.  Tiny, perfect, bouncing, bucking donkeys.  

Yeah. I'm partial.

So, our 2020 babies have arrived right on time and mothers and babies are doing great!  I was happy to have this foaling set to avoid cold nights - but I really had not thought ahead about the flies in summer... So the next couple of days will be spent setting up fly traps and doing everything we can to make it super comfy in the stalls.  In the meantime...  Cuddles and pictures!
