Jeanette heard the news at the gas station from Lenny's wife. <br /><br />We had been to the farm and had seen Peanut on Christmas day just three hours before she gave birth.

The photograph (by Jeanette?), the drawing, all of it. I'm assuming Lenny called you to come over. (Parallels to shepherds or wise men receiving traveling directions will be brushed aside.) Such a spontaneous, charmed way to spend part of Christmas day. I love the line, "She's not used to gravity yet.." <br /><br />Despite living a few years on a farm and being present for the calvings of the Jersey cow we had artificially inseminated, I won't claim adequate veterinary skills to judge, but it seems a little odd the vet missed the pregnancy. Tiny donkeys must be tricky to exam. Or, miraculously, Peanut hadn't been pregnant at the time...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.com
