Four point buck visits donkeys!
I was quite busy this evening. Abe, our 16.1 hand donkey, had an abscessed hoof, and we are soaking in epsom salts. It is a great thing that our donkey folk wish to do things we ask them to do, even if they don't quite actually want to to them, because if a 16.1 hand donkey decides to NOT put his foot in a bucket, you are NOT going to get his foot in the bucket!
I wouldn't actually want to put my foot in a bucket, either, if I were that big, and I had hooves, because it feels slippery, and I don't know what that thing is for. Everything is a donkey eating thing, unless it is not, and I must be darn sure.
So I was quite busy soaking hoof, squirting medicine into tall boy's mouth, cleaning up, tying out the llamas for their evening salad, and then I finally looked up. A four point buck was inside the donkey yard, which has an approx. six-foot electric wire fence around it, blithely drinking from their water trough!
The donkeys must have seen him before, because they ignored him in favor of dinner. The llamas, however, were quite upset.
I will haul the camera out when I feed these summer evenings. If we are very lucky, I'll get a photo!
Dinner time for me, now! See you!

How did you get the buck out of there?
Wise spouse advised to leave him alone, as he is a wild animal. He must have gotten out some way, maybe the way he came in! He was there last evening, but this time Abe decided to stroll over and have a talk! I will carry the camera around for a bit and see if I can get a "shot" in.
