Reduced Numbers

It's a sad day here at Blonde Bomber Acres. Not only did I jinx everything by believing it was spring and so it snowed all morning, but we are down to just 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 3 cats [besides Julie and her 2 cats].  No worries, everybody else is fine and dandy, just in new homes.

Hattie the donkey went out on trial a few weeks ago and has settled in nicely guarding cattle.

Mother Ducker (or Duckin' A) was picked up today by a lovely family whose own Pekin duck lost his buddy.  Hopefully these two lost duckies will bond with each other.

As I write this, Daisy Mae is on her way back to her owner Jacki. Casey decided that she needed a break from being responsible for a horse.

It'll be weird not having the sounds of a braying donkey and quacking duck, but I feel good about where both of them went.  They will both be happier in their new homes:  Hattie is getting spoiled with one-on-one attention as well as having a job to do and the duck will have a buddy again.

However I am incredibly sad about Daisy going back. Casey and I had a bunch of riding trips planned this summer; I will go solo on a couple and hopefully rope in another riding friend or two on the other adventures. It won't be the same though. :(
