Behold: Independence – A Child Is Born

Nature doing it's thing

First steps

Early this morning, our baby donkey was born. Her name is Independence (Pendy for short). Both mother and baby are healthy and doing just fine. You will have to excuse my false alarm regarding the impending birth back in May. I have since learned that the gestation period for a donkey is almost 12 months. I mean, I’m a city boy and can’t be expected to know such things.

My wife said, “She has your nose,” and I didn’t even mind. Now excuse me, all that water coming from my eyes is totally because of allergies.

Almost there
