In March, we got our Benjamin after a mad donkey search for a companion for our 30yr old. We knew we wanted to add one more younger donkey so the two young ones can grow up together and prevent us from having to search for a new companion should something happen to Buddy (30yrs old).

Yesterday, we got Walter to complete our herd! He is a 2yr old gelding! Ben and Walter have been romping and rolling together all day! And Buddy is like “thinks for getting this guy a friend so he will leave me alone!”

Never did I think I’d be a donkey mom but here I am loving every second of it!

Has anyone been to DPAC recently and needed ADA assistance? I have orchestra seats next weekend and I broke my ankle in three places. 😭 I’ll be fine on my knee scooter and in my seat. I’m just curious if there’s a place to store my knee scooter to keep it out of the way. Any insight would be helpful. I plan on calling them this week as well.

A few weeks ago I shared about getting a new donkey, Benny, after losing our 31yr old Paladin. A week before we got Benny, I had broken my ankle in three places and haven’t been able to walk since. I went from being the primary donkey caretaker to not being able to see them but maybe a couple times a week.

I’ve been so worried about bonding with Benny as I haven’t gotten to spend much time with him. He was terrified of my wheelchair and wouldn’t come near me. But patience was key! He has slowly come around! Here’s a clip of the first time he really gave me love. I was so genuinely surprised!

Thankfully, I get the cast off next week and should be walking again in the new few weeks! Having a broken ankle and then having your soul donkey pass away and have to get a new donkey is pretty rough.
