Have you ever heard the expression, "Good things come in small packages?" I am now a firm believer in that old saying we've all heard over the years after seeing this darling little jennet that we named Picaboo Sweet. Picaboo is one of the smallest foals we have ever had born at Half Ass Acres. She weighed in at a whooping 19½ lbs. and measured only 19¾" tall at birth. We have only had two other foals smaller in all our years of raising miniature donkeys.

We were anxiously awaiting the birth of Moxie's first foal. We are always concerened with our maiden jennets so Moxie was no exception. She is not a large jennet nor is the sire, Napoleon, a large jack, and Sheena, Moxie's dam, is also a very small jennet. We were not surprised when Picaboo arrived so tiny and perfect.

It did not take us long to name her as I was already playing the peek-a-boo game with her and talking baby talk. She acts like she is as big as all the other donkeys and does the cutest things. We love watching her prance around, throw her perfect head back as she runs and plays and then take command of the rest of the babies in the pasture. She is small but she is mighty. She has such a 'look at me' attitude and we sure don't mind accommodating her.
