Wednesday Dose of Cute: Our Donkey Girls are Growing Up

Dolores and Esmeralda 1

During all the recent headline-stealing hullaballoo that's been happening around here (don't you just love that word, hullaballoo?), sweet Evie and Esmeralda quietly turned two. You can get to know Evie here, and Esmeralda here, and you'll find lots of other donkey photos here and here.

This series of Dolores and two-day-old Esmeralda, taken back on July 8th, 2008 but never posted, is one of my favorites. Enjoy.

  1. Baby critters are just cute - well maybe not baby roadrunners (the birds) - they look a little like something out of alien - but donkettes - woohoo -

  3. REALLY really cute! You must love seeing them when they are this little and with their moms. Your donkettes are just the best for making us smile!

  4. I just read your snake bite(s), spider bite(s), teeth pulling, birthday post... and by the end of it tears were streaming down my face. You have such a way with words. I am glad that you both are on the mend. But I am so very sorry to hear of Robin's passing. I know you will miss him terribly. Please, you two, be careful out there.

  5. How cute! She seems to be waiting for her mom to get up so she can have a snack. "Are you done yet? I'm hungry. Are you done now? C'mon!"

    I hope your recovery continues to go well, try not to overdo it. But of course you will, so at least try to recognize it early enough to stop before you are totally wiped out :)

  6. What a cute series of photos. She looks like she's trying to figure out what all this rolling around in the dust is all about. You just know what she's thinking in that second to last photo! She was ready eat! Hope your are feeling better!

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.
