Our property seems to be a place the stray livestock come to visit and now I'm apparently watering two donkeys. We've been seeing them off in the distant for a few weeks but couldn't get close enough to tell if they were wild or livestock, well yesterday they showed up on our property and were the sweetest things and I was finally able to see that one was branded so I guess I'll be calling the livestock commissioner to see if he can contact BLM to figure out who owns them.

The brand is a BLM brand and she's 6 years old but we can't figure out the rest of the symbols which say what state and area she came from. We're thinking the light one might be her adult baby. I gave them water yesterday and refilled a bucket today in the same spot and when I got home from dropping my husband off for a work trip the bucket was pretty much empty with more hoof prints around it. I'm kind of sad I missed them, they were so sweet and just wanted pets yesterday. I'm really hoping that they've escaped and not dumped, though dumping a branded animal just seems stupid. If they are dumped I've already have a new home for them with some friends who will spoil them.
