This is Al, he lives with Rosie, the laminitic mare I have been working on. Al also has hoof issues that really need some careful attention. He was extremely neglected for the first 5-6 years of his life and ended up at an auction with horribly overgrown elf-slipper hooves. Rosie's mom took pity on him and was the only person to raise her hand at the sale, buying him for $10. She had him gelded and has tried to get his feet taken care of, but the farrier was just not very good with donkey hooves and they have not recovered as they should.
Al (I call him Little Albert Einstein, because he is super smart, quirky and tough) needs some special care for a while and his person is having health issues so....yeah, he is coming to my house.
Because apparently some higher power thinks I need another donkey - or that he needs me.
I'm not entirely sure how I always manage to get myself into these things, but, God help me, he isn't the first and probably won't be the last. I am SUCH a sucker and this Little Einstein knows just how to push all my buttons.
I think he is getting a good home. You are a wonderful person
ReplyDeleteHe's mighty cute :-D
ReplyDeleteWell you did have a vacancy in your quartet, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
ReplyDeleteOH! Another character! I am so happy with our farrier who has studied donkeys as well as goats, cattle, sheep, llamas, and most every hooved creature out there. He often works with vets too.
ReplyDeleteI hope Al does well with you and can't wait to see how he fits in.
I'll bet you didn't let Ramsey vote on this! Rebecca2
ReplyDeleteNOT a sucker. Just a woman with a huge heart and some serious knowledge about donkey care. Besides, weren't you just thinking about adding a new 'baby' to your herd? :D
ReplyDeleteHe's a beaut, Kris, and you are the one that can fix him up! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteAw. So cute!

aw- congratulations! He's adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou are chosen--God watches over all creatures great and small. Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! I'm glad you can help him out. Congrats to both of you! I wonder how Ramsey will take it - will it be different now that he's learned to play?
ReplyDeleteAwwww, he's a scruffy little charmer! God picked the softest place for him to land. He couldn't be in better hands .
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Kris ❤️
Hard to say no to something that cute!
ReplyDeleteOh come on . . . you know there's always room "for just one more"! LOL Al's a lucky guy to become someone under your loving care. Hope you set him right as only you can do.
