Dear Carlene,
Sorry we haven't been able to visit lately. Ava and Cindy are doing great. Ava has gotten her s#%& together. She goes everywhere with Cindy, and Cindy is loving the renewed independence. We went to the support meeting today and Jack and Emmett were there. The two dogs lay nose to nose for most of the meeting and were wonderful together, so well behaved. Jack stopped here on the way home and Ava and Emmett got to run and play in the back yard. Jack said he'd be posting photos.
On another note:
The father of one of my students told me the following story. His wife was friends with one of our neighbors who keeps horses on their property. She's a seasoned rider and on a visit one day, rode one of their horses out on the trails behind the house accompanied by their miniature donkey. There are about 300 acres of criss-crossing trails back there. At some point during the ride something spooked the horse which threw the rider. She struck her head in the fall. After a while the others back at the house became concerned when she hadn't returned. Just as they were considering a search she emerged from the woods, barely conscious, leaning on the donkey. They tended to her, calling the ambulance, she was hospitalized and later said she was too disoriented from the concussion to find her way back. The donkey had led her home. Shortly after the ambulance took her to the hospital the owners realized the donkey was missing. About five hours later it returned, leading the horse back to the stable. This is, all in all a pretty good testimonial to the intelligence of miniature donkeys.
Jim Bean (with Cindy and Ava)
