Donkey Oven

"Mum, Penny's cooking that foal too long - it's gonna be burned!" The donkey blues had arrived. 12+ months of anticipating a foal, and it still hadn't popped! Like c'mon, there's no need to over-bake the baby! (Don't freak out though! Donkey pregnancies are 12+ months. XD)

Every day for weeks, we'd checked Penny daily to see if she had brought a little one into the world yet - all in vain. Truly so, for it wasn't until we went to a camp over this last weekend that she finally got on with it.
I'd had the sneaking suspicion that she'd give birth once we'd left, and I was right. Upon returning home, we met our newest arrival - a gorgeous little filly.
Since her mother is Penny, we're considering calling her 'Shilling' or something fiscal-related like that... XD Ideas?

Mum likes Inky, so I think we'll go with that name. :) Thanks guys!

  1. Here's one: Drachma (Greek piece of silver worth about $32; one day's wage). Equivalent to the Roman Denarius which is translated as penny. What do you think? ;)

    1. Oh wow, that'd be an original name! Perhaps that will be Penny's next baby, since Mum to a fancy to Inky. :)

  2. When my music teacher got a puppy, she asked her students what they should name her. One of them suggested Penny, because she already had a cat called Inky, whom she mostly called Ink. So then she would have Pen and Ink! So you could call the foal Inky, and then you would have Pen and Ink. :)
    P.s Happy new year!

    1. I know, right! And she's even cuter in real life. :D I agree. Drachma's very original. Hey, you could name one of your goats that! ;)
