soupornuts is moving!!! In order to have more control over my blog (how it looks, plugins, etc.) I have decided to move soupornuts.wordpress.com to soupornuts.com. When you come to soupornuts.com, you will see my new postings along with updated and edited versions of most of my old articles. Don’t panic if the site looks different the first couple of times you visit. I am trying different themes to see which I prefer.
O.K. here is my attempt to share some pictures of our new filly with everyone. I’d like to take the time to thank everyone who responded to our call for help. As I’ve known for some time, the horse community is a very giving and tight knit group.
In these pictures she is at about five days old. My daughters have tentatively named her “Dakota”, but the discussion and final decision is still ongoing.
We were able to locate and purchase a miniature donkey this past Thursday. My trailer was in disrepair, but a good friend of my father’s allowed us to borrow his. We brought “Pedro” home and he is getting acclimated. Sorry, no pictures of Pedro yet.
Dakota is now nine days old and is getting stronger by the day. At the last feeding today, she inhaled 56 ounces of Foal lac.
Pedro and Dakota seem to be getting along fine. Pedro is about three years old and lets Dakota know he is the boss, but Dakota just trots off in no real hurry.

I’m glad to see that she is doing well. Foal-lac can get pretty spendy. I know there are a couple of different recipes out there for foals using goats milk and/or cows milk. I’ll see if I can track them down for you.

Yes, Foal lac is getting pretty expensive. Any viable alternative that will meet her nutritional needs in a more cost effective would be highly appreciated.
