We have a donkey now and she is pregnant. She protects the chickens from attack in the night. The chickens did raise up 5 chicks but racoon attacks that happened on nights that I got home late from work took all but one of the babys. So now Princess is here. I always wanted a horse and Sarah wanted a pony, so here is the answer, a useful new member of the family. Sarah is enjoying the truck full of hay for a change instead of bees. She is holding Bimbo, and Spritle and Zooie are on the truck with her, Linus is about to jump in too.
