The Staus Curse

Remember that curse I was telling you about in the last posting? Well, the saga continues...


Dot just had an adorable little boy this morning! (yes... Dot's a donkey).Take notice in the next pic how little he is! I took some oats out to give Dot after Mike left and measured the little guy... he's about 20&1/2 to 21 inches tall at the shoulder!You can almost compare him to Call-a-doll's little boy. This pic was taken when he was a day old, but he measured 22 inches at the shoulder the day he was born.
So, here are pictures of all the little boys that have been born on our farm this year:

Taxi's baby boy. He's around 2-3 wks old in this pic. His name is Bluebug Louie (His momma is Bluebug Taxi, his daddy is Louie). I call him Bluebug.


Blossum's baby boy. He's almost a month old in this picture. His name is Beau of Blossum. I call him Beau (pronounced Bo). Unfortuantely, we lost his momma. But due to being bottle fed, he's much friendlier than Bluebug!


Call-a-doll's baby boy... he's 2 days old here. We still need a name, if you have any suggestions. His Daddy is Star (who is about 30 inches tall full-grown!).


And last, but not least is Dot's little guy. We need a name for him, too, if anyone has suggestions! His daddy's name is Blackjack.

Two more babies yet to be born... Can we get a girl? Stay tuned to find out!

OH MY, that donkey is so cute. Cute beyond words. I really need to come visit your farm. For one, I've never seen it. For two, I love animals and would totally delight in taking pictures of them, petting them, and generally just being around them. Every time you post pictures I get excited!
