Sad Times: We Will All Miss You

This has been a sad past couple of days for BP (and Erin but not as much).  They had to give away Yoseminti (the donkey, aka Yo-Yo).  Actually, BP knew this day was coming but his dad (aka The Pokester) has had a hard time finding a new home for Yo-Yo.  Evidently the demand for a spotted, adorable donkey is not very high and then when you sprinkle it with "he likes to chase cows" it just totally drops the demand to almost zero.

So BP knew this day has been coming for several months now.  Since summer, Yo-Yo started chasing (among other things - wink, wink) cows.  We were kind of shocked since the first 6 months of his stay at the Payne farm he was kept in the same lot (cattle pin) with Boots, who was too old to walk the farm so had to be kept up, and Massey, BP's cow with a hurt foot (she is all better now but Boots is dead).  Yo-Yo treated them like family.  So come spring time The Pokester and BP let him out with the rest of the cows.  He did well at first but come end of summer, it was CHAOS.  So Yo-Yo has been in isolation since around September.  The Pokester needs the lot back for sick cows so there was only one thing to do.  Well there was the option of neutering but some vets said that might not do the trick.  So why take his manhood away if he was still going to have to leave us.  Even after long talks with Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo wouldn't check his immature behavior at the lot gate.  So The Pokester started asking around.  It wasn't until this week when he put him on the radio that someone came and snatched him up.  He is now living in Albertville (and no it wasn't Mexicans that came and got him).  Yo-Yo now lives behind Moultrie Nissan.

So Yo-Yo, if your new owners ever find this blog and read this to you.  BP misses you. You were a great donkey.  If BP had a farm, you would be buddies with Cooper right now.  Maybe one day we will reunite.

BP has some updates to post about Rowan and Erin but this blog needs to be soley dedicated to Yoseminti (and yeah BP still doesn't the correct spelling and is too lazy to google it).  It was Ro-Train's idea to dedicate this post to him.

WE MISS YOU YO-YO
Please miss him too as you view his last pictures.

I have been begging for a donkey. We have some cows that would chase him right back.
