Thank you all so much! What a wonder...<b>Hi Everybody,<br />Thank you all so much! What a wonderful outpouring of heartfelt kindness and sympathy. I can't even tell you how much it means to me. Of course now you have me in tears once again—but in a good way.<br /><br />Dolores seems to be doing fine, though she didn't grieve for the loss of her baby like she should have—another sign that something was definitely wrong with Flitta. Animal mothers often know and sense so much more than we give them credit for. They truly are amazing.<br /><br />We'll try for more baby donkey girls (we can't keep the boys because there's only room for one jack on a farm—if they get near each other they'll fight to the death, and even if we got little <a href="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/tuesday-dose-of-cute-whos-soggy-now-its.html" rel="nofollow">Fernando</a> cut, there's no guarantee <a href="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2007/08/farm-photo-83007.html" rel="nofollow">Donkey Doodle Daddy</a> wouldn't still go after him), but we won't breed <a href="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2008/02/farm-photo-22008-our-resident-weather.html" rel="nofollow">Daphne and Dolores</a> until spring, so they'll have their babies in warm weather.<br /><br />In the meantime, sheep breeding season has begun, which means lambing season—and all the cuteness that comes with it—is right around the corner! Well, it won't start until April actually, but I know it'll be here in the blink of an eye. And the miraculous circle of life continues. . .</b>Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-6648897342323012242009-11-21T11:48:17.429-06:002009-11-21T11:48:17.429-06:00Some of us feel very close to your furry babies.
