Moving right along

So the new arrivals are doing fairly well, with feet trimmed, the male donkey gelded and the baby growing, they sure are the attraction of the DSC right now, mostly because of the wide publicity. The baby name contest has come to a close and we have a little one named Ruby. I think it suits her well and it was also my first choice in the long list of possible names.

From front to back: Ruby, Diamond, Pearl and Jasper

Diamond reminds me a lot of a donkey we have named Tengen, who has long flowing tuffs of hair just as Diamond. Pearl is a real beauty and she will give our two most picture perfect donkeys a run for their money. Jasper is a very handsome donkey. And of course Ruby is just simply adorable.

All will need extensive handling practises as they are almost feral. But they will get a lot of love and learn soon that people aren't scary anymore.
