I have a funny shortage story - in the first lockdown, my friend Claire (who is very down to earth and not at all fancy) got absolutely incensed when she couldn't find tinned artichoke hearts anywhere!LyzzyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398604923871095647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-63073878717921454112021-02-06T08:27:20.819-05:002021-02-06T08:27:20.819-05:00I had never heard of guard donkeys before.

Among all the other shortages and searches for items that have disappeared it's easy to forget about all the domesticated animals that are in the same boat with us.

They are ever vigilant for anything unusual. Some people have guard dogs who live right in with the sheep, and some have llamas.

And lots of them are things that I don't think many had necessarily thought about. Hay seems like one of yours. Hope you guys are able to get enough for your animals and also be able to have resources for the future. Guess they can't eat toilet paper? Ha! (I know. That was mean.

If you were closer you could cut our field and have the hay free! <br />I hope that gets sorted for you soon.

I must have started reading your blog after you acquired Nebby but have now gone back to read about her adventures. I am not really sure what a donkey does besides exist. Do the grandchildren ride or play with her? A cart like Winona's Pony Cart would be nice.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-81946147704029791812021-02-03T07:51:54.851-05:002021-02-03T07:51:54.851-05:00Who would have thought we'd have a shortage of...Who would have thought we'd have a shortage of hay?

I mean, when you have a herd of three thousand pigs you can usually spare a bale for a little girl who has a rabbit!John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.com
