Woke me up a couple times during the morning hours rattling around the attic. I got up once to see if the attic door was ajar and it wasn't, so it has not made it's way out. The cats were restless too. These creatures are nocturnal and only roam in the night and early morning hours. Thinking I need a nap to catch up my lost sleep and wonderment of it all.

Speaking of donkeys kicking you M, their donkeys are minature ones and very domesticated and are really fun to watch and have never kicked anyone. My SIL feeds them sweet feed and they also love fig newtons as a treat. When they think it time they come to the fence up close to the house and "Hee Haw" until someone comes out to reward them, usually the girls when they get in from school. One of the Jennys had a four month old baby and was pregnant again when I purchased her at a live stock auction. Had to wait thirteen months for the birth and it was the cutest, softest little fur baby and was so frisky. She would prance around and wanted to play with my SIL and come up and nudge his leg and turn around and run. She still follows him around when he goes to the barn to get the tractor to mow the grass around the house and she is over three years old now. I was advised not to buy any Jacks with them as they tend to be so mean to the Jennys during mating. Talk about kicking, they kick the female repeatedly. With having four Jennys they felt no reason to mate them. They all recognize their names and when the family comes in the driveway, they excitedly run down to the gate to greet them. They require little care, except once a year to have their hoofs filed for good balance. It is rare to have to have a Vet when they are birthing and the buzzards clean up quickly after the fact and completely clean the area. Except for the extra feed and cookies given them, they are self reliant and eat hay like the cows, which comes from their pastures. Cost is not prohibitive with them and they make excellent pets and pay for themselves by protecting the livestock. They really howl when coyotes are in the area. They also have three dogs that are good guard dogs and they get along well with the donkeys. They have felt it has been a good environment to rear their two girls.
