Looks and Brains

Still no kids yet, but soon! Anyhow, I just got to brag about my micro donkey Fancy tonight. This past week, we had the back portion of the barn, including the gate, blocked off for the animals in order to have the floor cemented. During the whole week, we were constantly coaxing the cows to come in the front gate. Every single night until the back gate was opened back up to them. They go out through the front and in through the back, there's just no other way they want to go!

Back to Fancy, now that the concrete is fully dry, anyone can walk on it. Well, Patches would walk on through the back gate and then back up. It took several treats to finally get her in her stall. But Fancy, she wanted nothing to do with the concrete. Instead, and I kid you not, she had a lightbulb moment and took off running. She ran clear around the barn and came in the front way! She even hee-hawed and was just so proud of herself for figuring it out! I sure love her and all my animals.
