Abby Update

Abby has a new friend at her feed bucket... A Parakeet!!! And here is ABBY!!! I just love watching Abby! These shots were after her dinner on the 24th of June. Abby is MUCH nicer now. However the donkey had to get a new home. He lives at Rouls on Hwy 6. Abby will let me catch her, walk her and brush her. She still needs lots of work on the walking but she is understanding it. So on the 23rd, A GREAT DAY with Abby. On the 24th: Abby was no where to be seen... my heart was racing, I thought someone might have taken her. As I approached the very back of the pasture she called back to me, Abby had found the shelter and was sleeping in there. She followed me to get her dinner and ate very well. Her appetite has grown. She would not let me pet her and I had to slip the lead on her as she ate. We walked for a bit and came back to her dinner. She ate and let me pet her. I took the lead off and she was back to not letting me pet her again. We will work on that come Thursday.

Abby Comes Home

This is Abby!! She is one of my 51st birthday presents. WOW, what a gift!!! Thank you Tara so very much for having Abby come into my life. This was very kind of you to send her here. I will love her dearly(as soon as I can catch her) LOL. Abby is the red filly not the painted donkey. He had a name that was not nice so I am still working on a name for him. He will not let me pet him so he is not trained and if he teaches Abby not to let me get her then he will be looking for a new home. I just came in from trying to pet Abby, not too good when the donkey moves her. I caught her rope and she pulled away. I will need to wear gloves and be ready for the pull. Soooo, I will try in the morning as well as repair my fence where it is weak.
