So the wicked donkeys are eating the wood on my barn. It’s the most challenging environment for curious and restless donkeys. There is snow and ice, so there is no grazing and they are in the pole barn all day so they are bored. When donkeys get bored – border collies are like this – they find something to do, and you usually will not like it. They were always trying to eat the barn wood at Bedlam Farm, so it’s back to playing chess with them. Ben is coming over and we will replace some of the wood or we may put up wire mesh or metal sheeting. Otherwise, they’ll chew right through the barn wall. Red loves to pose for the camera these days, he saw me pointing it and rushed it for his calender shot.
