Bringing up Donkey

GOOD MORNING LADIES........Thursday July 14.......Its one of those lovely fall brisk mornings, makes you wanna wear your electric socks and winter hat.....good news is.....NO BUGS.

was so much happier yesterday coming out to play Mr. Dressup......and I must say I had a great time too......so even if it is only for a couple of hours a day it seemed to perk him up no end.

I wish I was faster with the video/audio part of my camera......his Braying sounds more like a combination of wounded goose and bagpipes. His voice has not actually changed yet into the Melodious sounds of his Ilk and I keep thinking he is going to choke.,
Its only been 2 weeks since we met, but this little fella has wormed his way into my heart like no other.
I sure hope you are all having as much fun as us following along and viewing the pictures.
I have nothing Planned for today, just gonna play it by Big Ears and see what mischief we can get into.

and Mariea....piss off.......I had already written out this update, but I had it in a New post thing and I lost it.........

so gonna have another coffee and then let the GAMES BEGIN......

tune in regularly for pictures throughout the days.......I add pix here and there on different pages just to drive you nuts........hahaha :cowboyhound.gi

Simi's mum....Diane has made a stall sign for Shaemus............god this woman is talented......I love her work.

Looks good!!!!

no wonder my barn always looks a mess

the boys having some fun, and if you listen, you can hear Sheamus sing..........

we were ..or should I say I was going to work on going up the steps to the truck bed.....Shaemus decided he would rather run his little buttercup off..........but he did think about it for a second or two.

I nearly spit my tea all over my computer screen, this was a perfect thing to watch for my afternoon work break! You're having so much fun! keep it coming! Love it!

hahaha.. omg I laughed and laughed.. chasing Sam around.. and wagging that tail the whole time.. omg he's too cute, I need to see him.. I need to hoot and hollar and laugh until my belly hurts.. and tears run.. them maybe will have a bit of you know what.. or maybe have that before we split a gut.. then we can pee our pants.. sound like fun!!!!!!!!!!!! :cowboyhound.gi

Works for me....you know I am always up for peeing and laughing.........hahaha......I still have the tarp..... :cowboyhound.gi

Joan, I just love your little buttercup!

never mind electric socks and a winter hat........I turned on the pellet stove.....its frickin freezin.....waiting for the boys to say they want in here too.

cold wet miserable

Joan that was such a cute video, it is really a dog and pony show or should I say dog and donkey show!

GOOD MORNING LADIES..........Friday 15 July...........geesh, we are half way through the month already, think we have had 6 days of glorious weather. it absolutely bucketed here last night and still raining this morning. Temperature still on the frigid side and I have once again turned on the pellet stove!!!!

When I went out to feed the boys they were curled up together in an attempt to warm up I'm sure and not cause they were BONDING.... well maybe a little.......its hard to say, I sort of caught a glimpse of them playing yesterday......you just cant catch them at it......as soon as Shaemus hears me, he quits what he is doing and comes running.

While I was setting up the stairs over to the truck yesterday, I managed to see them having some fun Play fighting. behind the barn. Haimish actually stood up (be it ever so briefly) but he did manage it and an attempt at a buck.
So I'm thinking all the Pestering the donkey does to him might be starting to pay off. Haimish isnt exactly Mr. Mobility, but he is making an effort!!!!

For those of you who think he is WAY WAY WAY TOO FAT........he has actually lost quite a bit of weight and his belly no longer bulges out wider than his hips!!!!!!.......much like myself, not exactly svelt, but a little more streamlined. The buggy will have to be re adjusted INWARDS to fit him.

I have to go to the village for supplies this morning, so wont be doing anything exciting with

till later on today........... hope you all had a chance to watch yesterdays video of Sam and Shaemus, it was some fun.

I watched the video.. hope you get more of those, omg that was funny.. what a donkey.. and Sam loves him.. he was having a blast.. I loved the way donkeys tail was wagging the whole time... hahahah

I'm pretty sure swish their tails and NOT WAG.......HAHAHAHA JUST SAYING......

Well Joan, now you have me peeing my pants with laughter. Just love this blog and read it everyday. Have my horse show this weekend and Freva is my groom.

:cowgirlride.gi

The video was such a hoot...me thinks the donkey is quite stuck on himself and decided to put on a special show. It is so nice to see Sam having fun....poor ole Haimish just looked a little peeved!!!! A as for the braying...he is sounding less like a larangitic turkey....I can hardly wait for the new and improved version of "Oh Canada" with you, Sam and the coyotes...I just know it will be coming soon. AND...love to hear you laughing...that is the BEST!!!!!

hahaha......so glad you girls are laughing as much as I am.
Great news Jayne, , Val will make sure you have no extra bits hanging out and lipstick on your teeth....good luck tomorrow girl.......KNOCK EM DEAD........ :cowboyhound.gi

Oh, Joan that video was too funny - what a character he is. I love your Hamish too, such a pretty boy - do you have a video of driving him.

Jayne and I are at the show tomorrow and when I left the barn she was still banding and being descriptive regarding that heavy mane of Ponies.

Later

Good Morning Ladies.......Saturday July 16. There is nothing more thrilling than having your wee call your name every time you walk out the bunkhouse door to go to the indoor outhouse!! I try to sneak out to have a quick piddle a couple of times a night......but unfortunately I am not very good with Stealth and he leaps up and expects me to come cuddle him no matter what time it is. It's very hard to get back into the Sleep mode when you know he is just standing there waiting.

We didnt get a chance to play yesterday, the weather really sucked, and it was pouring here again during the night.
Sure hope all you gals who were off to shows or taking a vacation get some decent weather today.


Brown, I have no video of Haimish driving, but have many good shots of all the Survivor gals getting a chance to play with the Midget when they were up last year. I'll find some and post them today. Haimish didnt have a good day yesterday and barely managed to walk into the barn last night........I'm pretty sure this cold damp weather was really hurting him.

Well, I have no idea what is in store for today, but if donkey starts to use his voice more, I will be sure to capture the moment for posterity.......Later.

SHAEMUS IS IN FOR THE BIG DOUBLE B today......
Bath and Beating.....

and if he keeps this up, he will get both!!!!!
