Stormy Day Entertainment

Since everyone was stuck in the barn all weekend, hiding away from the snow storm, it was a good time to offer a new toy.  One of my long-time readers very generously sent this toy to us a couple of months ago.  It has been sitting on my shelf, waiting for me to get my act together and get the right pump to fill it with air.  Lucky for the donkeys, I finally remembered to get the tire pump back from Elva (aka, Farm Buddy, the Little Elf) so that they could play with this weekend.

Ben was a bit skeptical, there is really only one toy he likes to play with and you'll hear about that later.

Emma, on the other hand, always loves new toys.  Most people assume that Ramsey is the one who collects toys, but it is Emma who plays with them the most and she is usually the first in line to get at a new offering. 

This toy was an instant hit.

Emma decided right off that it has all the right components of a good toy....it is soft and easy to pick up and toss around.

It is easy to hold onto while digging it into the ground and her teeth make a pleasant squeaky noise when she drags it along the floor...

It also has room for more than one muzzle.

Give Ben some more time to think about it and it just might even be a three-way tug.

It certainly kept these two happy for a good long while on a stormy, winter day. 

Thank you Di, this was a great success.  Emma and Ramsey are certainly glad you were thinking of them!
