Lindsay, it sounds like you are doing so well with the newcomers. They do have to jockey for position and since Kash is a male (aren't they always problematic LOL!), he may sense she has a disability and try to take advantage. Judy is right, you and Scott are alpha, I think that Kash is smart and he will surely figure it out soon.
You and Scott are angels for taking them in.
This is OT but there was a story today in the paper about a man who is taking in donkeys that have been abandoned. He only has 10 acres so he has to find foster homes for them while they rehabilitate, get well, and wait to be adopted. He talked so lovingly about donkeys - he says they are very affectionate and loyal, but fiercely protective and will attack dogs or whatever threatens their loved ones. I see donkeys with herds of sheep around here and they protect the sheep from wild dogs or coyotes. Anyway with the drought around here, he says there are lots of abandoned donkeys and in the story he was looking for people with land who could take some in. It was sad but uplifting at the same time.
