Wassermann Wranch

I asked him how old he was. “Five!” he replied holding up all the fingers on one hand to assist my understanding of his declaration.   I opened the gate to start our Wranch tour andthe young visitor’s body stiffened.  Hestood perfectly still.  The little darkhaired bundle of enthusiasm became tree-like, overwhelmed by the sight of agroup of our alpacas running across the yard to meet him. 

Scott and I were thinking about going to the movies one evening back in August, 2016, when the phone rang.  I heard him ask "How old isit?" followed by a couple of mmm-hmm's ending with an "OK, we'll beright there."  Our neighbors hadbeen listening to the cries of a baby Aoudad near their house for three daysand their hearts were about to burst so they had decided to give us a call.

I found Zipper this morning. He was laying on his side in the donkey shelter. His eyes were hazed over, and his tummy was bloated. He had been gone for quite a while; he likely passed shortly after chores last night. How could this big, strong, beautiful donkey be gone in just a flash? A flash for me, probably hours of anguish for him. I didn’t know he was in trouble. I didn’t know.
