Some animal shots.

This is the donkeys, Jack (left) and Bonnie. Have I mentioned how friendly they are? Bonnie is definately the boss, and as such she likes the attention more than Jack. But he's sweet too, just in a less pushy kind of way.


And he's the only one that will put up with this kind of thing. I don't really think that either of them likes to be ridden, but Jack is gracious enough to stand still, at least. Getting him to move is another story. We have to lead him if we actually want him to go anywhere. He doesn't mind little Lara sitting on his back, but Spaz must be a bit big. When she hops on he drops his head and refuses to move... at all.


Jack and Sabrina, discussing the happenings of the day. Maybe they were making plans for tomorrow. Perhaps they're plotting to catch the one that got away. You see... Big Sis and Big Bro-in-law came over for dinner tonight. We were sitting outside having after-dinner coffee when we heard Sabrina's bells and saw Jack's white form jumping around in the dim light. Despite Jack's sweet nature, Big Sis was a little worried about Sabrina, I think... until they ran into the light of the kitchen window. It was then that we realised that they had ganged up to try and catch a mouse. Unfortunately, many cooks spoil the broth, and the mouse escaped under the wood pile. Sorry about the quality of the pic. I tried for another one, but the batteries refused to work again after this. So I had to content myself with this one. Good mates already.


And then when I was getting ready to add this post, Sabrina decided to join me at the computer. Not content with my bony old lap, she found somewhere more comfortable... perched on the back of the chair. She certainly has some character, this cat. I thought it was so funny that I had to try for one more shot. Luckily the break had fooled the camera into thinking that it had a bit more energy. Let's just see if I can squeeze a few more pics out of it tomorrow.
