Mischief in the barnyard

The mini donks

Sunday, October 28th, 2007 

Yesterday the donkeys had some grazing time in the agility area (my classes are indoors now due to no light in the evenings). They can only have about 2 to 4 hours of grass per day as they are very “easy keepers” and grass goes right to their waists and crests (the top of their neck stores fat) just like frozen custard goes to my waist!  So my husband put them in their paddock after a couple of hours and never noticed the brand new gouges in my a-frame.  

Soooo, it appears that one or two of the younger donkeys decided to try climbing the a-frame and succeeded as the gouges went over the top and down the next side!   Did I mention I just repainted all of my agility equipment 3 weeks ago??  Fortunately it was sunny and 50s today so the paint cans came back out and I touched up the gouges as best as I could.  As Kent said — wish we had security cameras in the barnyard so we could see how they managed to climb it!
