Hope that all Donkeys and Donkey lovers have a sweet and restful Christmas filled with Joy (and Treats of course!) All the Best from the North Country of NY 🤓

This is hard, ignoring her. She’s breaking me already........ ;)

Oh she's like Cat alright! Someone else's Cat,,,,,on the Fourth of July when the neighbors are shooting off Fireworks! Thanks, looks like we're all on the same page here. "Operation Aloof" starts at daybreak :cool:

Jeeez Louise! This could really be 'fickle little donkey' part 2. Oh this rotten, but somehow still luvable, little witch! :rolleyes: Yes, nuthin' like a dog! With a dog, you make nice and become friends. The dog likes you forever.......and ever. Not so with this critter. It has been a week...

Wow, you’re up there friend! I’m practically in the Carolina’s compared to you! I just checked in on the cam and this made me smile! All the best to you, and everyone lending info, stories, and advice here on the forum :)

That is the hope, Taz. Counting on it. They’re together in the stall now, no fireworks at all yesterday in the yard - just a cpl half-hearted foot stomps from Sophia. Even I could tell it was just some weak ‘I’m top donkey & this is my turf’ bluster. Little boy was unfazed and it stopped by...

Yes he does have spots, and they're gorgeous! They spent a quiet night, semi-together in the stall. I slept in an armchair so I would wake frequently and check on them. Here's a typical pic. 😍🥰 As soon as first light shines - about 20 mins from now - I'll go roust 'em and turn 'em loose in...

I’m on it...... Much obliged 😊

Jasper has arrived and what a handsome, lovable boy he is! Friendly & engaging. Picked him up from the car and before I set him down I was already quite smitten 🥰. Sofia seems surprised and only a bit wary. 🤞🏼

Yes! Little Jasper is headed our way tomorrow!! Woot WOOT 👍🏽 And yes, messing with her feet seems to have been the turnoff to us. However this is a marathon and not a sprint; we’re gonna win that creepy lil donkey over! I also make it a point to play nicely w the dogs where she can see us...

Good advice, I’m sure. Thanks 🙏 Basically I am a dog person but of course I’m not dealing with a dog here and I think maybe my approach needs alterations. So I am going to take your advice and just back off a little bit. Oh I will still be around and I’ll still be sweet talking to her but will...

Oh this rotten, but beautiful!, little girl of ours! Hot & cold, and so prone to being an aloof little tease! :rolleyes: Last few days she won’t even look at us, hops away when we get within a few yards of her! A week ago, we were cuddling in her stall and even snoozed together a cpl times. Not...

She had me at her first trumpet blast 🎺

Thanks! Yep, she’s warm and when in the right mood she loves to be touched. She can also be like a cat at times; “that’s close enough buddy”. One coy little girlie donk 🙄 But I’ll win her over 😁

Hey thanks, yep she’s cute but her blanket needs something to girl it up a little! Some flowers maybe? Yep, Mr Farrier has us soaking one more day and then the Thrush Buster t’row. She’s high-stepping just a bit today whereas she’s been tippy toeing around. Good to see !! I love the chance to...
