Not even 48 hours old, and Argus is already running circles around his mother! Yesterday, his specialty was hopping up and down and jumping backwards (the latter as he tried out his version of a two-legged donkey kick). Today, his past-time was running a short distance, turning on a dime, and returning. Repeated as often as possible. This clip shows one of his longer jaunts. This little guy is surely going to keep Molly on her toes.

Hello Janice,
What a great surprise, to find the Farmette updated! And not just updated with blog text, but now sporting videos. You've been keeping up with the technology.
It's so good to see Molly and Ambrose, and now Argus! Congratulations! What a great start the new year.
48 hours and the little donk sure can run!
Take care!
Ken

How very exciting the past few months must have been for you!! I sure loved it when we had a baby donkey around. I hope you can post some progress photos:) I borrowed the poem for my ABC post (D is for Donkey, of course).

A lot of specialists tell that loan help a lot of people to live their own way, just because they can feel free to buy necessary things. Moreover, banks present car loan for young and old people.
