The new donkey shelter was finished today, just in the nick of time before it started raining. This rain is a warm front so we have gotten through the freezing spell. The donkeys are happy and the hay shed is now in its proper use. They can come and go as they please, sleep comfortably, and the sand is easy on their hooves. It's protected from the west, south and east, and open to the North, which has a hill and trees above the field. If there is a northerly, the overhang will at least keep the rain from coming in.
Dmytro did a superb job as always. Very professional and beautifully finished. He'll be back Monday to finish the door on the hay shed. We have a bit of cleanup to do, but we are very pleased overall. A new donkey, a white male called Finian, will be arriving shortly. Apparently, he is very sweet and loves to cuddle with humans. Perhaps he will be a good influence on the girls and a pal for Bruce, who is still bullied by the girls.
Meanwhile, Dmytro had a visit from the folks at AbbVie who need four screens installed as a start so he will be busy. Happy for him. He'll have finished the work for us on Monday. Perfect timing.
