Her ears are still floppy, but we don't care




The grand-kiddos rode the bus to Nan and Pop's house this afternoon, so we thought we'd venture down in the pasture to see if we could get a closer look at our newest addition.   

Dolly, above, is usually the first to approach us for some lovin'.  Or maybe Rosie.  She's very affectionate also.  She's the miniature that we are still waiting on to give birth. 

The kids are so intrigued when the donkeys walk up close with their velvety lips and noses that quiver an sniffle.  

Ollie, however, with the new baby, literally steered her away from us and walked in the other direction.  Ollie isn't as friendly as Dolly, Patsy or Rosie.  

Even from a distance, it was clear that the baby's ears still aren't standing up.  Maybe that's just how she is, and if so, that's fine, because she's adorable anyway.  

At least her second day of life was a little warmer.  The sunshine was golden this afternoon, like Oaklee's hair and Honey, who's always happy to tag along when we visit the cattle and donkeys.
