The Coniving Donkey

Donkeys. Why, we have been asked, would you want them? What good are they, anyway? Well, first of all, donkeys are highly intelligent, curious, cute, and to be quite frank, entertaining. Second, donkeys give us many laughs, which is a healthy activity. Also, donkeys can be used to pull carts, carry baskets, and do light work. Our two minis are turning two in the next couple months which means they can start learning driving and packing activities. But . . . since they aren't old enough to work yet, there's that humor factor.



Alastair, 4 1/2 months here (Sept. '07), is being brushed with a curry comb.

Hmm. . . look what Alastair has found!














Alastair thinks that little peanut brush is more interesting than being combed.



















Here, lady, take the peanut brush.


















Aaaahhh. See lady, take the hint and use the peanut brush!
