    Don got his rear end kicked again! My WCBP!!

    Don got his butt kicked again by the ladies yesterday. I had put him and Stripes (BR roo) in a pen by themselves because they get along great about 5 weeks ago after his first fiasco with the ladies. Two days ago I let them both back out and everything was great. I get home from work...
