The new boys are here!!

[Denali]

Well, I went and picked up the new boys today!! They are so cute!! Levi was very excited and started drooling!! Then when I tried to lead him away to put in the pasture next to them, he threw a fit, rearing, some bucking, even some pushing on me when I refused to let him go back to them. Never saw my little guy throw such a fit!! :new_shocked:

:

The new boys are 8 & 10 years and are supposed to be broke to drive. We can't wait to learn ourselves!! We haven't decided on names yet, but are kicking around a few ideas. We thought about naming one Calvin (as in Klein) to go with Levi (Strauss) but can't think of a third name to go with that. We ruled out Rustler, Wrangler, Ralph Lauren. Any ideas??

Anyway, here are the new boys! :aktion033:

This guy is a little chubby! He is short and stocky, but also a little chunky and has a small crest, but it is not broken. Also, his halter is too big and keeps falling off his nose!! I got him a new one this afternoon, so no worries.

[SIZE=12pt]They are SOOOO precious!

: I've never seen a donkey with a long mane and hairy ears like that! That's too cute...

: [/SIZE]

Okay, here are my suggestions. Going with the clothing designer names... I love Calvin and I would say either Ralph or Tommy for the other. My other suggestion would be a Biblical theme. Levi's brothers were named Simeon (or Simon) and Gideon.

Thanks for the pictures, they are so sweet... give 'em a squeeze for me!

: And good luck with everything!! Shannon :bgrin

Names... I thought of Tommy Hilfiger too, Osh-Kosh, Dickie, Lucky, Lee (though doesn't sound good with Levi), Diesel, & Arizona that's all I can think of for now

: Didn't I tell you Levi's reaction would be memorable

: I am sure he didn't sleep last night...lol!

I love the name Tommy too.....Levi, Calvin & Tommy...sounds good

:

My Bunny has a long mane and tail like your little guy...the first Vet we had alway referred to her as a mule? He was convinced she was? He didn't last long as her Dr.

Angie,

No, I didn't get to drive them. For a couple of reasons, one, they were in a rescue and they had no cart, and two, I have never drove, so I need to learn first!! lol I am hoping to attend a clinic in the near future.

OOOOHHHHH LOVE THAT MANE on the "hippie" - my girls will tell you, i have a THING about hair...

didn't you say somewhere that these came to the rescue because they were owned by an older couple, the husband died and the wife couldn't take care of them? that is SO SAD. i am happy for you that you were able to get them but if i lost MY husband, i think my donks are the only thing that would keep me going... poor woman!

i run into people all the time that find out i have horses and they will say "i USED to have a horse..." i sure hope i NEVER have to say that!!!
