The Donkey's Cross

Let's play "Name that nose"... it's not so fun in the winter - our little residents prefer the summer, the desert or the Caribbean if given the choice but we live where the weather hurts our face
BUT our feed is never short on smooches

These are the faces that are looking for the warm apple carrot cookies in my pockets

This is why we say donkeys need donkey friends- these two are fixing each other and teaching each other to be donkeys
They are adoptable together through our favorite rescue - reach out if you think you will be the right fit

please reach out to Liz at Bandit's place (number below) for more information. This is pretty urgent and they need some love

I'm certain that the donkeys got this memo because they were Caroling early this morning- and yes their songs can be heard all over town... blame the church bells... the snow.. the cold or an early visit from Santa but they just want to wish you a Merry Christmas! (And ward off the evil spirits if needed ;)

It's a labor of love when it's 9 degrees and you have to teach your pig to climb steps to get to the warm water bucket...

poptart trail for the win!!

Hammy is not a fan of the high water bucket however she won't stop the goats from playing tug-of-war with the heater in the short leg bucket... so steps it is!

It has been a tough week for the rescue - it has been a Challenging few years for non-profits and sadly we have been denied from every grant request made to grown our children's reading program- we spent hours on so many applications and had no success for even partial funding

But we will keep trying and we will still work to assist as many children as we can it is just going to take a lot longer than we had hoped
