This is our newest pet... Yes it is a donkey named Jack. Most of you know how John is about strangers.. Well let's just say for those of you who don't know him that there are NO strangers to him. We met a guy at the dumpster and we ended up with a free donkey. The kids love him and so do we. He has one issue though. He is not cut.... Which creates a problem with our mare.... They seem to have taken a liken' to one another.... I, however, cannot see us with a mule so tomorrow he is going to the vet and then he will not be little stud donkey any longer.... Adam seems to think this is somehow not right. He says "A guy has to keep his manhood"...... Typical teen.... He has been trained to pull a cart so we are on the search for one. He is pretty good at letting us know when anything odd is around. We claim that he is our guard donkey.... Pretty neat... I think we have enough pets now... 4 horses, 1 donkey, 6 dogs, 6 goats, 1 gold fish & 3 cats...... Oh not to mention the neighbors guinea's that I am bribing with feed to stay a while..... Well I better get. Tons to do and daylight is burnin'.... GOD Bless!!!!
I have been so busy lately with the new "kids" and school and everything else a mom does that I haven't had time to blog much. But this picture has such a great story to go with it... First it was a normal day here at the Sturzoo. At least normal in a Sturza kinda way. I am doing my usual piddln' around busy work. I notice the children are all silent with a giggle here and there. I sit back and enjoy the quiet. Then I notice the children are all starting to giggle more..... But this time with whispers involved. I slowly sneak around the corner and lo' and behold, this is what I saw...... Little Shi with a rope tied around her and a scarf around her mouth. Of course the only thing I could thing of at that moment was "What have you boys done?" The boys start saying "she wanted us to do it." Then I realize she is laughing as well.... Of course I notice the shirt say "Daddy's Girl" on it. So I thought what a perfect blog title... The Boys jealious of Shi because she is Daddy's little girl.... I tried to work it out that way but as you can tell Shiloh is cracking up so that didn't work. Since they were all having fun it worked out in the end. But can you imagine what I was thinking when I walked around the corner and saw her standing there like that..... The Princess is caught.. They captured her..... Anywho I got a good laugh and so did John. However, we put the ropes where they are suppose to be OUTSIDE!!!! And made a new rule of no tying sister up.... Or anyone or anything for that matter..... God Bless!!!!
