:saludando: hey there from Arizona, i also bought a donkey recently through Shawna but it was not my first... in fact he makes #10!! your forum name made me crack up!!! :lol: :lol: my family looked at me sitting at the computer laughing like i am nuts. well, they should have already known that ha ha.
:
your names are cute, i especially like Mable, that one is on my list of names for future mule babies!! mine are (in no particular order) Betty Jean, Betty Lou, Susie Q, Taffy Jo, Mary Ellen, Becky Lynn and Peggy Sue for the jennets, then my boys are all in law enforcement LOL: Trooper, Marshall Dillon, and Marshall Wiley Haines (which name i found doing an internet search for old west sheriffs etc., so my new donkey could follow the pattern - we started out with Wyatt Earp but have since sold him...)
don't worry, your girls will come around, here is a suggestion for you which i love to do,
: and mine were never standoffish except for one... when i first got Taffy Jo she liked her butt scratched but did not want her face touched at all... now she lets me clean the gunk out of the corners of her eyes and everything! well, take a chair and just go sit in the pen. let them come to you. mine pretty much almost climb in the chair with me LOL. with two you shouldn't have this problem but mine are all wanting my attention at the same time and i only have two hands :new_shocked: if i am not careful they will knock over the chair with me in it! it really makes my day to go sit out there and have them all come and love on me.
and for the pregnancy thing hey, try the ring test!! (see the separate post about that) i have been wanting to take mine in for ultrasounds but just don't have the money... i am 99% sure they are pregnant just by looking at them, and i know when they were with the jack (who the breeder said has NEVER missed!) so i just did the ring test that Shawna posted about. since the ring did NOT hold still on any of my three i am figuring they must all be pregnant! :aktion033: :aktion033: :aktion033: we are having a sandwich LOL, a girl, a boy and then another girl...
as for posting pictures, my daughter showed me, it's easy - go to www.photobucket.com and open an account for yourself. follow their directions and copy your pictures to photobucket. then see that little button with the tree at the top of box where you are typing your post? click on that and copy the URL from the picture from photobucket and paste it into there, and TA DA your picture is in your post! just don't forget to click on the tree or you only put a link into your post and not the actual picture. for the first few weeks i had to chant "tree, tree, tree" so i didn't forget :lol: :lol: i kept getting LINKS and it was making me crazy
: :new_shocked:

and of course don't forget to spice things up with your emoticons

: (my daughter says i like them WAY TOO MUCH - well, SO WHAT :lol: :lol:
