Ok, here is the issue: Where does the time go? It has been over 2 weeks since I posted anything about Reggie or photography. I can't tell if it is overwhelming depression keeping me from doing what I said I was going to do, or being retired. Being retired sends a false message to the brain. Not much is demanding on my time. Sure, there is the "Emergency of the Day," and on a horse ranch it's usually a broken water line or fence. That gets my attention, but all my desires and hopes seem to fall by the way side.
I am glad to report that the bonding has continued the last 2 weeks. Reggie is enjoying being rubbed, patted and tolerates a halter. Coco is still very cautious. She stands off and thinks about me and why I want to pat her. But, if I have the Reggie snacks they are right in my pocket.
I need to get new halters that fit better. I didn't know it, a donkey's head is a different shape than a horse. Of course the local feed and tack stores do not sell donkey halters, just all sizes of horse ones. I have been reading and reading about donkeys. Just got an Ebook from Amazon written by Jackass Jill from New Mexico about her walking companions which are donkeys. She has hiked and camped for months at a time with hers. Wow. That is a strong brave woman.
