New Donkeys on Our Tiny Farm

We have two new mini-donkeys living on Our Tiny Farm! They arrived here from California in early October.

Their humans are moving to western North Carolina and needed a place for  their precious minis while they find a new home for all of them. Meet Pickles, the white spotted one on the left, and Waffles, the brown one on the right. They are really sweet donkeys, and settled in very quickly.

We kept them separated in the barn and paddock from our other four until their humans arrived. Then we let them all together. It was rather anti-climatic. Pickles and Waffles on the left and Chester and Meadow on the right, just stared at each other for several minutes. Clara and Wilma didn't even bother to come over. I guess they became familiar enough with each other after nine days of being near each other, that it was no big deal. We are enjoying having a real little herd of minis on the farm.
