Two more BLM burros win the lottery

My extended family got a little bigger over the weekend. My friends at Morning Bray Farm (home to Bernard and Ellsworth) traveled to the BLM facility in Canon City, Colorado, to adopt "a" BLM burro. Of course they came home with two, but I'll leave it to them to tell you the whole story. Meanwhile, I got to meet these handsome boys yesterday.



They're all still getting to know each other,



but overall everybody's getting along great.





Fergus and Nigel have agreed to help George and Alan spread the gospel of BLM burro adoption
and are well aware that they must develop certain skills in order to fulfill that obligation,
including Jollyball handling...


traffic cone management...


and the ever-important stick game.


I'm confident they're up to the task.

    They certainly are some handsome boys, and I'm amazed, yet thrilled, that all 4 are in the pasture together already and had to LOL about them developing their 'certain skills'. They don't seem to be wasting any time.

    Soooo Carson, will George and Alan be getting any brothers soon?

    I'm sure George & Alan are great teachers and they will be pros in no time!

    Hmmm...if the burro boys could meet up, I see equi-soccer in their future. (We saw a demo at the MidWest Horse Fair this weekend, and it looked like great fun!) Go team burro!

    An incredibly handsome pair. So happy that you were able to be there to welcome them to their new home, as well.

    I am so in love with the burros - all of them! I wish I could have a few of my own, but we have 'rules' against that sort of thing! Bah, humbug. We'll have to move to a less restrictive place so I can enjoy watching the antics!
    But, until then, thanks for posting such great pictures. I look forward to seeing 'the boys'!

    Sign me up. As soon as we get pasture fencing, we're getting burros.

    Oh, that's just enough burro cuteness to make your head 'splode!

    The stick and traffic cone love is uncanny :)

    Great pics!

    Oh! I would give just about anything to adopt a couple burros, too. My neighbors have already said they would not be happy with burros, though.
    Looks like I'll have to move to have some burros of my own....

    More cute ears to watch. Maybe your boys could play their boys in a game of jolly ball.
