Well, well, well.... after all of the GIRL names we've been considering for the new donkey, wouldn't you know this silly donkey finally confirmed today that HE's a BOY.
Alan said that earlier today while I was in town the animals were all being crazy in the pasture. All of the excitement probably had something to do with sunshine, new hay, and apple treats. Let's just say that some of them were a bit more *excited* than others.
Finally, we're happy to introduce Fitz! Some of you caught on to our democrat naming convention. We've got donkeys named Hillary, Billy, Jackie, and now Fitz (for John Fitzgerald Kennedy). We think it's a fitting name! There were so many fabulous names suggested!! To go along with the democrat theme, I really liked "Oh" for Jackie's Oh, which was suggested by Julie E. from Waterboro, Maine.
We also have two old donkeys named Molly and Muffin, but they were named before they came to the farm. I'm sure if they needed names when they came here, they would have been given democratic names too. *grin*
Thanks to everyone who suggested names. We'll certainly keep track of all of your suggestions as there always seems to be something new that needs a name around here! For example, a little gray and white stray tom cat showed up last week and has decided to call the farm home. He's now known as Murphy. Just when we get the last wild cat fixed, another one shows up. Uninvited! Murphy's Law.
Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, is'nt life grand?God knows where to send the strays...it's all about the love you and Alan have for these forlorn creatures. It does my heart such GOOD to see and hear about the wonderful things you do, TFS!!

Yea! for a name. My Boyfriend is a "Fitz" too! His last name is Fitzgerald, but he goes by "Fitz" from most of his friends. Your little guy sure is a cutie, and you are so clever to do the democrat donkey naming thing! Congrats on the new arrival.

He's so cute - and I hope you never remind him that his gender was ever in question... that could damage a donkey's ego permanently.
