The chocolate donkey

Compared to chocolate Easter bunnies, the little chocolate donkey is a low-calorie treat!

I wish that I could have taken better photos, but he stayed in his dustbath towards the back of the crowd of adult donkeys who had gathered at the fence for the carrots we were handing out. These donkeys are from the herd up the road - the same herd our two donkeys came from. Here's Baby Choco with his new little cousin:

The two youngsters above are little boy donkeys. When they weren't "necking" (our cute term for the mutual grooming they are busily engaged in), they were "wrassling." The winning donkey in a wrassling contest is the one who manages to rest his head across the other donkey's back. Like so:

My company is moving offices, so things have been pretty hectic lately which contributes to the continued slowing down of posts on the Farmette Report. But there are more donkey photos and donkey updates and knitting updates...not to mention the lovely spring we are having and which I am managing to enjoy! I will just have to find some time for updates!

Nothing cuter than baby donkeys, but I get the biggest kick out of the dust bath photo you posted before. It's great!

Don't you just love the babies? I got to see mustang foals in the wild last week; come by for a peek! Glad you are having a lovely spring, and pretty envious, too.

The youngsters are so cute and so full of personality, too.

I've been busy with my office moving to a beautiful new building. Packed up the office yesterday and did some moving. The rest of the boxes arrive today for unpacking and getting organized. Best of all, I'll have an office window for the first time in three years.
