Fergus definitely picked us.

And so did someone else. We haven’t picked a name for him yet and it’s driving me crazy that I don’t know what to call him. I’m driving Don crazy too.

There’s so much to tell you and we promise to fill you in as soon as we can. We got home yesterday afternoon to miserably high winds, followed by heavy rains, which lasted all night. It’s a big mucky mess here today.

The donkey boys are very excited about their new brothers. Bernard seems super excited and we all can’t wait to physically introduce donkeys and burros… perhaps later today. I have reassured Bernard that he is still the baby and always will be.

For now, everyone is doing fine.

And I can’t imagine being happier.

This post is for George and Alan; the Burro Brothers, with love from Bernard and Ellsworth; the Donkey Boys.

Dear George and Alan, 

Cone spring training started this weekend and we want you to know we’re your biggest fans.

You’ve set the bar high, which is why we’ll be working extra hard on things like strength training and eye-mouth coordination,

and cone carry techniques…

…because we want to avoid any dropped cones. Sorry Coach!

We’ll also be working on balance…

…and of course, flexibility.

You’ve inspired us to greatness. Here’s to a great Cone season!

With love,

Bernard and Ellsworth  xx00xx
