The Boyz and Gracie Belle did a wonderful job of welcoming Buck when he arrived at Morning Bray Farm yesterday.
Bernard was worried about losing his “Baby Bernard” status, so I explained to him that he will always be my “first-born,” and that I’ll never stop loving him more every day.
Ellsworth was a very concerned big brother, wanting to be sure that all of Buck’s needs were addressed:
Not to worry Ellsworth. We set Buck up with his very own temporary Buckingham Palace. As you can see, Buck made himself immediately right at home:
I spent the afternoon with Buck and discovered that he loves:
1. Being brushed and being loved on. Forever.
2. Granny Smith apples.
3. Carrots.
4. Peppermints.
I’m in love again. Head over heels. ♥ ♥ ♥

Buck is really a very very cute donkey!
Nice to see how friendly and nosey Bernard and Ellssworth are looking over/under the fence.

Buck must think this is the Christmas Morning he’s heard about.
What until he finds out it goes on every day!

I suspect the “head over heels in love” thing is what he is thinking, too! He looks like such a sweetheart of a boy. The last picture says “I only have eyes for you!”

Oh, he’s so sweet! I’m in love, too! I just love that picture of him with the BIG mouthful of hay. Looks like he is not going to waste any time. The last shot is beautiful, too. And Ellsworth, what a good big brother. I’m jealous. Still a month before my Josie-girl arrives. Ugh.
