While on that topic, I have tried to start calling her Kana because it is a more feminine form of Kane. People always assume that she is a boy, and that can be tough on a young lady. I fear that she is going to have some sort of identity crisis, so Kana it is.
And speaking of creating an identity crisis, we had little Gino gelded. It was not pretty. I'm quite familiar with having male cats and dogs neutered... not so bad. You get an animal with a couple of stitches in the old sack, and you need to keep him from jumping. No problemo, right? Well, large animal veterinarians, are apparently trained a bit differently. Where your small animal vet goes to the school where they teach them about lasers and stitches, large animal vets go to the Doctor Josef Mengele School of Surgery where they use bolt cutters, brute force, and like to let things "drain."
(What's this now? Bolt cutters?)
Donkey's groinal region was a bloody, nasty mess for a few days. Things needed to be "hosed out." It was a terrible experience for everyone.
But all that is behind us now. Groins have healed, birds are chirping, and Spring has finally set upon Bully Hill. It felt like Spring came a bit late this year, but now everything is blooming. I will leave you with some shots from the farm.
