While the new volunteers were learning to groom and some of the donkeys were getting new hair dos ...like little Poppy here.....
I had some time to brush Juno, poor little creature is still wearing her winter coat because she won't let people groom her long enough. So maybe tomorrow I will plant myself right out in that paddock and brush her, she has to be so hot.
I also got to meet our new donkeys, well they are actually not new, they just returned from a foster farm, seems like the economy is really hitting people hard and they are the second and third donkey return in the last little while, we are definitely over capacity right now. But Luna and Curly Sam are just the cutest, it's another love donkey couple, that came at separate times, but it was love at first sight for those two and they are inseparable. They are very small Standard donkeys and cute as buttons. Luna, having lived with a group of big horses before coming to the DSC is feisty as she had to be to be standing up to the horses, she is very demanding and pushy. Sam, well he was quite reserved today, but I have heard some interesting stories about him, so it will be interesting to see him being himself any time soon. He is very small but apparently doesn't know that, and he been taking on big boys like Apollo and Buddy in the past.
Apropos Buddy still no news on him, his EPM test came back positive, but that apparently doesn't mean anything as it has a 50 % chance of reading positive even if it is negative. So we are hoping that no news is good news. Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

Hello Tina
You've done well looking after the donkeys and everyone else - now its time to look after YOU.
Sit back for a little while - enjoy your time out in the paddocks with your four legged friends and 'smell the roses'
Take care
Cathy
You should be very proud of yourself for stepping outside of your comfort zone. Now, you can sit back and enjoy yourself for a bit. The new donkeys are adorable.
I know it's hard to step out of your comfort zone, but you did it and it went fine!
Poppy looks adorable with the new "do"!
I am sure all the donkeys appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone. We really grow by doing it. Keep up the good work!
