Donkey Update

So, the word is that Tarzan has been found safe and Sweat Pea is being tended to. My sister who lives in the Springs, called me this morning, saying that there was an article in the Gazette about the donkeys. Of course she already knew the story since she reads this Blog. :) Now, the actual story about somebody shooting a donkey is not very funny. Even though I curse them for getting in my trash, I certainly wouldn't want any harm to come to them. Although nobody seemed to care when somebody was rumored to be shooting at our cows. Guess they're not as cute. At least they don't eat dirty diapers. Note to tourists....Don't let the donkeys lick your hands...Anyhoo, What struck me as hillariously funny was the comments made by complete idiots, who don't even live here. One commentor wondered if it was somehow related to the fact that donkeys are the mascot of the Democratic Party. What are we? Rednecks or something? I guess they think we walk around town swiggin beer and shootin at donkeys, cuz they done look like those nasty varmits we call domaracts....Yup, Yup. Oh Brother!!! Check out the link if you need a good laugh.

Animals Agony In The Creek

I don't know the details but apparently two of the donkeys in the herd have been shot. One so far is missing and the other is being treated and I'll try to get an update on her condition. Also, on the animal front, 40 some cats were taken out of a house in Cripple Creek. I'm sure that many of you have already heard this story, but just a reminder that if you are looking for a cat to adopt they are all being spayed or neutered. Contact Dr.Volz at 687-9406. If you don't want to adopt a cat but would still like to help out please call and make a donation. Dr Volz has volunteered his time and services to help these cats. Two opposites, haters and lovers, collide.
