Farm Photo 12/2/07: A Little Donkey Secret


How Donkeys Hug

What's better than a girlfriend for Donkey Doodle Dandy? Why two girlfriends of course!

So, um, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Three somethings actually. Of course they come with a really amusing story, but since it's been, oh, eight months and I still haven't gotten around to writing it down, I figured I'd better just go ahead and let the donkeys out of the bag. Which means I can start sharing some of these wonderful photos that have been piling up.


The Whole Herd Back On October 24th

Hopefully someday I'll have a chance to tell you all about how they came to live here. In the meantime, please say hello to Dolores, Daphne, and Dolores' son who was born on July 2nd and is nicknamed Dinky. (No, Dan isn't a daddy--yet.)

I know, I know, I can't believe I didn't tell you about our new donkeys ages ago. I can tell you that they're all doing great. The girls are an absolute kick, and Dinky, who will be going to live with a friend next month, has been very busy looking cute and learning everything he'll need to know in order to be a grown up, sheep-guarding donkey.

As for Dan? He's looking small but walking tall.

  2. Thank you for the wonderful news! I too look forward to hearing the story behind this. That is such a great picture of them. Hehe, all D names, so cute! Dan certainly seems to be enjoying the company.

  3. You big naughty Donkey Hider! I am not able to understand how you kept this intense cuteness to yourself for so long.

    What are you Super Woman??

    That is impossible. They are The Best. I'm also glad that Dan gets a chance with the ladies ;)

  4. OH MY GOD!!! DONKEYS GALORE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!

    Sorry about the "shouting," FG--I'm just SO excited about your donkey herd! Can't wait to hear the story of how you ended up with more than just your DDD (the story about how he came to live with you is hilarious). You must have MANY more sheep now if DDD couldn't keep watch over them all. AWESOME!!!!

  5. So sweet! Dan will keep them in line, I'm sure. Or maybe they'll just charm the heck out of him and keep HIM in line!

  6. You should know that Dan is the cause of my donkey obsession. As soon as I have the land, I am getting a donkey.

    I even tried to convince my best friend (who has an empty little barn and pasture) to get a donkey. It's really just a pity that she didn't.

  7. My goodness, you really did hold out on us. I think it's wonderful that Dan has some new friends to watch over the herd with. Nothing makes life better than some new friends!

  8. O.K...I sooo thought, after you said you needed to tell us "now that 8 months have passed", that you were going to have a little addition to the farm of the human kind.

    The donkeys are very cute!

  10. Susan, you crack me up. Like Anne in SC, I was totally anticipating another kind of announcement. Love the first picture of the donkey nuzzle.

  11. Finally! Please post some more pics FG; show us which one's which? 8 month's is too long to keep me waiting! Any pics of a baby Dinky?

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
