Stitch is safe and has a wonderful new home. We had 2 baby donkeys born. Willy, the blond baby is from the most recent save of the 14 donkeys. He was born shortly after his Mama was adopted, and they all came back so he could live in the heated nursery barn for a short time, due to horrible weather.
Rowdy, the little boy in my lap is Lilah’s baby. Lila was from the 18 donkeys prior to the last rescue. His Mama made it clear I was her person, even though she was terrified of everything, so I was not able to adopt her out. She gave birth to this big boy and all are thriving.
So far ALL the donkeys either have homes or pending adoptions. We had to euthanize one of the colts who came in with a very severe and painful injury. Sadly not only were his injuries to the point where I had no other option but to end his suffering, but we incurred more expenses. It is so frustrating when folks are not upfront about the conditions of the horses we save. Thankfully though, we did save him from going down in the slaughter truck or the actual horror of being slaughtered. He knew love and kindness and sometimes that is all we can do. He did require extra vet visits as we needed Doc to come back out and do x-rays.
It’s “hay time” again. The load of big bales come in at around $3300 – $3500. I also need another load of small bales, and that load is usually between $750 and $900. I only have a couple big bales left, so ordering hay soon is a must. We had so many horses and donkeys here that we blew through the last loads of hay, but with all the adoptions, we are down to a much more manageable number, and this next hay should hopefully last quite a bit longer.
Sadly I am back on crutches most of the time. I definitely need to get the quad in for servicing and repairs, and the estimate is anywhere from $400 to $850.
It is a must that I have access to the quad, as there are too may critters to take care of on crutches and I have to get all the chores done no matter how bad my leg feels. My silly “good leg” has been acting up and there are times I literally cannot stand on it. So I really do need the quad.
I appreciate all of you, and am working on catching up on my “thank you’s.” The work is endless though, with all these animals and the gelding, etc.
IF anyone has any old crutches that would fit a person that is 5’4″, I would love them. I need to keep them staged around the property in case I get stuck. When I stop and do waters or feed etc., I often set down my crutch and then I will be somewhere else and not able to move. So it would be really helpful to have them staged like I used to.
