Today was the big day. Marion kindly came by with her truck and stock trailer, and we were off. We had arranged to meet Abraham's new friend at the Park and Ride in Saco. They arrived right on time. Three cute little blond boys tumbled out of the truck, eager to show me our new donkey. She hopped right out of their trailer, and with a little coaxing, hopped into ours.
The boys each gave her a big hug, and we headed home.
Once here she was happy to get out of the trailer.
We led her to the back yard, and Abraham called out happily. Our new arrival, Sarah, dropped her head to graze, and wandered over to the fence.
Abraham was enchanted. Sarah mostly ignored him.
Marion brought a little something to celebrate the occasion. She's good like that.
The day was rather warm, and an ice cold drink after a long drive tasted awfully nice.
Feeling bold we invited Abraham into the back yard. He was on Sarah like a bad rash. She objected. Firmly. We escorted Abraham back to the pasture.
A few hours later Sarah went to the gate and asked to be let into the pasture. We complied. There was some running, bucking, kicking and general mayhem. And then everyone calmed down. And had a snack.
Sarah is lovely. Tame and friendly and oh so sweet.
Her previous person told me, "She loves to be hugged."
She's a red head and has a temper, and Abraham is walking softly. I hope that by tomorrow they will begin to be friends.
It's fun to see two little donkeys in the pasture. Welcome to FairWinds, sweet Sarah.
