Update on mini barn!

Yay! We now have a roof, 2 walls  put up and everyone will have their very own window in their stall when completed! Today the cement will be going in the walkway and the first layer of limestone will be put into the stalls. The two donkeys will share a stall.  They are too attached to eachother be separated.  Everyone else has their own 8X8.  We took a little break from barn building
with all the holiday BBQs, wedding, graduations parties, baby showers, and birthday parties that have been going on the last 6 weeks but now we are
back in full force to get this barn done by the time our next new arrival comes in a month!!



They had been staring at this barn for a long time!  We fenced around it and let them come in.
Now they NEVER leave even when we have the tractor in there and nail guns sounding off!
And why would they?  They have shade, protection from any rain, and all the yummy grass in there they can eat... well at least they did up until last night lol! 



3 hours after letting them go inside.... Flynn is STILL in there!!


It kinda reminds me of an exhibit at the zoo or something like that!
Appartently Fairah was thinking the same thing.

After the fence post in removed this will be the view from the barn door


Cowboy finally left his new barn structure just long enough to have some dinner.

Sorry Nadia!  No doggies in the barn!

Introducing the newest members to our farm.......


Missy and Feather!!



Missy and Feather are half sisters and are 10 and 11 months old.. They are mini donkeys.
The two are inseperable as you can see from the pictures they never leave eachothers side.
They are both show donkeys and we hope to get them in the ring sometimes next year.
The boys were VERY excited to have new friends and were a little pesty at first but have been very kind and willing to share their space with these two girls.






Checking out the new grass!


Not too sure about getting out of the trailer

Heading out to the pasture to meet their new roommates
