Sad News At The Barrons
We are sad to say that our sweet donkey, "Oliver" has gone on to that amazing farm in the sky. Yes, he died. When we got the two donkeys Oliver was already sickly and very sad and weak looking. We tried our best to keep him fed and love him in hopes that he would gain strength. It was too little too late for him and he died in the night out in the barn. He will be missed. Daddy dug a huge hole in our backyard and berried him. The kids were sad. Colonel is doing great though and he has become a quick part of the family. He often comes up to the house and looks for us through the window. He is super sweet and just a joy to have. We feel blessed because donkeys don't always come this way. It's too bad that Oliver didn't survive, but we did love him while he was here.
