Felina is now under the barn cam. She is a maiden and quite the little diva as she will not allow me to touch her bag...tries to bite me!! She doesn't even want me to look at it! She is like the typical 'beautiful woman'...very high maintenace and expects to be waited on hand and hoof. I only put up with it because she is so dang beautiful! Her due date was June 14th but that day has come and gone. I had sent in the wrong date on the marestare calendar. She was pasture bred and the last time I observed her in season was 6/14/06. Tardy is in the stall next to her and I observed her being bred on 6/19/06 but Tardy appears to be closer than Felina? Just not sure since they are both maidens. Lord give me strength! Tardy is as sweet as she can be and will let me touch her bag all day long if I need too but she does not have white milk tonight. But these maiden jennets can sure fool you. Thanks for helping me watch. I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger!!! Felina's camera view is straight down and Tardy's is at an angle. Here is the link: www.marestare.com/halfass.phpDayle

Dayle ! Yes maidens are a worry and hard to predict. felina seems to be hiding, but I just saw Tardy standing in the corner as if she looks at that cam and thinks "you won't catch me". Will keep an eye on them as much as possible. ;D

Oh Dayle, that is so nice of you to help Sandy out by taking her critters like you did!!!!! You're a hero in my book. And I'm so glad to know Fizz and Belle have such a good home with you. I've heard such nice things about you and know you love them too and will give them cuddle and love just like Sandy and Bob did. We all miss watching the girls and can't wait till you get them on cam again. Belle's like a little teddy bear and I just want to love her up. So, we'll be on here for a while and you're sure to get a bunch of the Fizz gang over here too. Talk to ya laterz!!!!! Hugs to Fizz and Belle!!!!!

God Bless you Dayle, and your hubby, for doing what you did for Sandy & Bob. We love them so much and I know this is such a relief to them. And I "ditto" what nancat said about being glad their babies are with you where we know they will get all the love and cuddling they deserve. Thank you for being so special. Does this "specialness" run in mini donk owners? ? Sure seems to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Felina sure has found her a little hiding spot out of cam view. Dayle, you are going to just go have a little chat with her and tell her what we starers like to see. Being a maiden, she just may not know. Let her know this is the angle we want to see..

major rolling by both little donkeys. Yeah, I think Felina is going down to the bottom right. The angle of the camera cuts off both bottom corners of the stall. Someone needs to explain to the little momma that the middle of her stall would be just perfect, lots of room there. Here's a thought, lets put a "x" (or a little stork ) in the middle of the stall to mark the foaling spot.

Hi Dayle!
I also want to tell you how wonderful you are to take in so many from Sandy and Bob's herd. Between being on "foal watch" and having all of those extra mouths to feed, you probably need a couple more hours in your day! They are all lucky to have you and your hubby, and you and your hubby are very special people!
I'll be here watching Felina and Tardy. Can't wait to see what the new babies will look like!
I'm also THRILLED that you ended up with Fizz and Belle. Those two have quite a following from the MS message board, so be prepared to spend some extra time each day just answering their fan mail!
Our fingers are crossed here in Ohio for good luck with your jennets, and healthy new babies, and hopefully some rain in the very near future for your folks!
Courtney

Dayle. I just had to chime in too. I'm a member of the ABF Club and also so pleased that you and Joe were able to help out Sandy and Bob in their time of need. I've always admired the care that I see you giving your girls when they are on cam and I know that Fizz, Belle and all the other Wit's End donkeys will get that same loving attention and care. I've been watching your jennets for a long time and started with Oprah and Kewpie Doll, although I wasn't posting at that time. Saw Sophia foal too and my husband was quite taken with Rosie but Belle 'stole his heart'. I think Rosie was born around the same time as Wit's End's G.G. So glad to hear that Voila and Belle are becoming friends. How's Daphne doing? The saying 'as busy as a one armed paper hanger' is used up here in Canada too so I don't think it's specifically a Southern term. I sure wish I could come down and help you with the chores but I'm still a working girl and my boss wouldn't like it much if I told him I was going to be away for a while to take care of mini-donks. Read that you got some rain this morning. I've been praying for rain for both HAA and Wit's End Farm. Do you know if Sandy and Bob got a good rain today too? I sure hope so. We got a thunderstorm and a heavy downpour here this afternoon and I was wishing I could send some of that rain down to you. I'll be watching Tardy and Felina as much as I can but I'm leaving for my vacation in a few days and won't have a computer to use for three weeks. I'll miss everyone sooooooo much.
