Burros get cabin fever, too

The weather in New Mexico this holiday season hasn't been all that bad, considering what most of the country has had to deal with. But try telling that to two burros who've hunkered down in the barn to stay out of the cold, cruel wind. They're a little bored.

The novelty of an empty pail wears off after awhile.



Alan decides to work on his gate-closing skills.





Hank comes along to see what his little buddies are up to.
Think Moses parting the Red Sea.





Alan gives up on the gate and moves on to the cone,
but now George doesn't want to play.




I'm so bored, mom!



It's ok, hon. The winds will die down soon and life will go back to normal.
