July 11 - 25, 2025
Charlie and Carlos are a pair of 26 year old gelded, miniature donkeys. They were owned by the same woman all of their lives, but she is getting older and needed to scale back, so she asked Bluebonnet to take them in.These guys have had good care - too good, because they're both obese!
They're sweet boys who were initially confused about where they were, but they now follow their foster "mom" around and hang out with her adopted pony, Radar.
Charlie was just diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so he would like Prascend tablets. He would also like pill pockets for horses to make those tablets taste better - he isn't a fan! He would also like some small fly boots as he is very sensitive to flies.
Carlos would like some horse cookies.
Both need dewormer (ivermectin) and some mini fly masks for the summer (which may never end on the Gulf Coast this year!)
Thank you to Bonnie L., Irene J., Carla M., Dianne E., and Abigail for making the holidays brighter for Carlos and Charlie! $457 more would grant all their wishes!
