Casper-illa
Casper-illa
Casper came to us from our friend Mary's farm after Crissy passed away. Monte was fading before our eyes missing her so we decided he needed a new friend. Casper and Monte are inseparable now and Casper is a constant source of humor--he is teaching Monte lots of new tricks! He loves to play ball and will carry just about anything as long as you walk with him. He is quite a character with lots of energy-and often too smart for his own good! His newest 'game' he plays with Monte we call 'skitching'--he likes to pull Monte's tail--if Monte takes off, Casper just holds on and drags behind! Can't believe how good of friends they have become in such a short time!

Casper takes some MSM and Glucosamine now to help his back in the winter months--his curved spine has gotten worse as he has grown so at times, he is pretty stiff and sore in the coldest weather. (His mom was an elderly donkey when she was pregnant with Casper--she was shot in the tummy while she was pregnant at my friend's farm and the bullet is lodged in Casper's spine near his withers. Both survived and are fine, except for the permanent curve in Casper's spine.) He doesn't let it slow him down though, you would never know he even had it to see him! 

 Casper has winter issues that include some scary times when he can not get to his feet with out help. Thank you for your kind thoughts for him! He is always his sassy, somewhat naughty but still cute self-- the new supplements have taken hold and he seems to be ok as long as the weather is warm--hooray!

He says his favorite video game is 'Donkey Kong', his favorite CD is Trace Adkins' song 'Honky Tonk Badonkkadonk' (even though we told him it was not his nick name 'honkey donkey' that they were singing about-he does not believe us!) and his favorite classic TV show is Hee Haw!
