When I was a very young girl, I convinced my mother that Donda the donkey should come into the house, and she agreed! Getting him IN was easy...getting him OUT involved quite a bit of pushing.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure glad I don't have to carry any of our donkeys around in an overnight bag, never mind trying to stuff one in there. The metal box on wheels will do nicely, thank you very much!<BR/><BR/>Haven't ever tried reading to our donkeys, but I frequently sing nursery rhymes to them, changing the words as needed; this is one of their favorites: <BR/><BR/>"Sing a song of sixpence, <BR/>A pocket full of rye, <BR/>Four and twenty donkeys<BR/>Baked in a pie........"Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057130676408193394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-62194391994969710332008-02-27T19:46:00.000-08:002008-02-27T19:46:00.000-08:00This was the most exciting day this winter!

She's even more lovely on the front of the tee shirt. Long, coltish legs and spectacular ears - it's enough to make a middle aged donkey's heart race. I may let the woman wear it - I'll see if it fits me first. My very hearty thank you to my three good friends - Gale, Mr. Gale and of course, the wonderful one herself.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-46095238737079266742008-02-26T09:57:00.000-08:002008-02-26T09:57:00.000-08:00Shaeffer, there are those who believe me to be som...Shaeffer, there are those who believe me to be somewhat loony-tunes due to my donkey like mental processes....what seems totally proper to me seems to upset some of my neighbors and relatives, not to even mention the local gendarmes..the rosewood in the earlier rolls royce was far superior to what is in them now, much denser and chewier with a great flavour of wood oils..great for doing oral hygene with the toothpicks and splinters. By the way, as the only donkey candidate so far in this election, it appears that you will have it after me and mrs Gale vote....Obama and Hillary will be in a pile in the gutter in a heap of turbans and old summonses and legal papers and stuff. The polls are pretty accurate on some things, I hope they are right on this one!! Will talk at ya later, the walls here are padded and do not taste great, believe me....SMILE....Friday is coming!!<BR/>Mr Galerobert5721https://www.blogger.com/profile/03859169776790967092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-44853444021256051242008-02-25T16:42:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:42:00.000-08:00Mr. Gale!

My advice to you is - run fast, run far.<BR/><BR/>Re: the RR Silver Cloud (so that's what it is), we donkeys prefer transportation with lots of wood inside and this model has some tasty Rosewood trim. Also very spacious so a donkey can move around and snack at his leisure.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-8553951308555573102008-02-25T08:17:00.000-08:002008-02-25T08:17:00.000-08:00Shaeffer, I commend your young relative's choice i...Shaeffer, I commend your young relative's choice in automobiles to travel in....A Rolls Royce Silver Cloud....obviously this is in England, where Donkey Owners have an innate sense of their value and PROPER care..your explaination makes perfect sense to me, but they won't let me out of here until friday, so at least I have that to look foreward to....<BR/>Mr Galerobert5721https://www.blogger.com/profile/03859169776790967092noreply@blogger.com
