Please let me introduce you to~
Pinnochio and Daisy!!!
Pinnochio and Daisy!!!
...the newest members of the
Notforgotten Farm family ~
This is Pinnochio...what a handsome boy!
He's just an old softy & Peter adores him!!
Tiny little Daisy plays follow the leader...
Hey...wait for me!Pinnochio (or as we call him, "Nocchi")
is a 7 year old Standard Brown donkey...
he was bottle-fed and is broken and gelded...
I can't wait to hook him up to a cart & go for a clip-clop ride!!
He is as gentle as a kitten and loves his top-knot scratched...

I brushed him this morning and Pete has removed a ton of burrs from his tail & mane...
I think he likes it here with us and all of the attention he's getting!
Daisy is just about 3 months old and was more-or-less a rescue...
she is underfed, a little skittish and needs lots of TLC,
which she will surely be getting here!
I'm bottle feeding her 5x a day and hand feeding her sweet feed and hay...
her mom and dad were brother & sister so there's some in-breeding,
but she shows no signs of
anything worse than a little over-bite
and that she needs some good nutrition and lots of love!

When we brought them home yesterday,
Buddy & Lazy (our dogs) went berserk...
Lazy tried to chew his way through the wire fence
to get a closer look at what I think THEY think
are the strangest looking deer they've ever seen...
and Buddy,
(all 200+ pounds of him)
hid behind one of the walnut trees...
waiting for the "coast-is-clear" sign from Lazy...

all of a sudden, Nocchi let out thee loudest bray I've ever heard!
the sheep ran in one direction, and the dogs in another...
Buddy and Lazy stood dumfounded
and then little Daisy decided to add her two cents
with a little squeaky 'hee-haw-heeee-haw' sound!

aside from trying my best to feel better...
(I think the kidney stones are making a come-back. blech.)

How wonderful and cute! You are so lucky to live on a farm!!
Hope you are feeling better!
What a sweet Donkey Boy! Love the name too, I get the joke!
Such precious and beautiful animals! Glad they have such a loving home.
Haha!! A few years back, a neighbors donkey made his way thru the fence...after a few attempts to get him back to the other side, we gave up. He doesn't know this isn't home cause he kept making his way back...unfortunately, now after all this time, the neighbors are talking of taking him home, only to one of their pastures that doesn't join ours. He is SO sweet...when I go out to grain, he will come up and pull on my coat tail to make sure he gets some grain and OH can he bray!! When he brays & we have company that's never heard anything as such!!Too funny the expressions on their faces! LOL
Hope you get to feelin' better & they're not as bad as they were the last time!
The baby is adorable.
Hope you feel better soon.
So sweet. What a great addition. Hope you share a picture sometime of him all hooked up to the cart giving you a ride. Love it!

I want chickens, ducks, donkeys,sheep,1 or 2 cows,Oh.. and don't forget the sheep !!! See why I need more land... LOL Oh I forgot rabbits, and catfish in a pond !!! LOL How do you don't it all??
