Ursula and Daisy
Ursula and Daisy have become friends. I was terrified Ursula was going to be hurt since she was up on the stool and Daisy was up in her face but they just loved on each other which was weird in itself but it was cute to see, too.
Banana
Banana has been hanging around more and more. He still does not want to have anything to do with me, but I am glad he is still here. I have seen him at night and during the day now, so I do not think he leaves here too often. I am glad to see that.
Broody Hen
Snowflake is broody and on eggs again. I am not sure how many, but there are several. We will see how many are actually going to hatch this time. Last time none of them did and I felt terrible for her. We should know before too long, it has been at least 2 weeks, so maybe one more week before they should be hatched. We will see.
Pigs
The Pigs are dealing with the weather the best way they can which is in the mud and in the water. It has been. So hot. They are doing okay though. I am happy they are doing fine.
Horns
Let me tell you, Louie has been growing up so fast. It is going so fast. His horns are getting so big and sharp. He likes to head butt me and he bruises me. He is such a sweet thing, but he thinks he is playing when he head butts me, but it hurts. I just cannot believe he is getting so big so fast. It is about time to separate him and Prada. That will be interesting.
Hot Hot
It is so hot. It is hot hot hot out here in West Texas. It is so miserable. I was filling up the water trough for Daisy and Bella to be able to get in and cool off while they were out there, which is not often this time of year. Daisy had to get into the water as I was putting fresh water in there it was so hot outside. Good grief it is hot out. I guess it is August and to be expected but goodness, it seems so much hotter somehow.
Farrier
The farrier came out to take care of Pete and Noma. He does such a good job with them. I am glad we have this one. He is good. Pete was in a mood though and trying to bite on him. We ended up having to give him some meds which take forever to kick in and forever to wear off of him. The feet were done though which was the important thing. The other donkeys watched Noma and then in the other pasture, the other donkeys watched over Pete for a bit, too. I am glad they were taken care of for the next few weeks.
