Howdy,
1. Most important – Please don’t beat me or punish me for being slow and not moving fast enough unlike the horse I can think all the time
2. I enjoy being talked to, brushed and loved on when I am sure you will not hurt me, slip me a small bite of a carrot now and then just not too much I am an easy keeper
3. Hey I learn different from the horse I am a visual learner. I learn by watching from an honor horse, mule or another honor donkey or you doing something with me standing and watching at a safe distance. Please walk away from me with scary new things and let me come to you on my time I am scared of new things and need you to slow down.
4. I prefer clean water, warm water in the winter time and low sugar hay as I gain weight fast I was created to live in the desert.
5. I am really smart please do not leave me all alone, give me a companion I prefer a donkey but will take a horse or mule
6. I need my hooves trimmed just like the horse and I really like to eat on old dead tree stumps
7. I need my teeth taken care of just like the horse
8. Please feed me at least three small meals a day when I am on a dry pasture and never feed me alfalfa hay
9. I like to play with toys, orange traffic cone, feed bowl or jolly ball I am smart and get bored easy just like you
10. I am special GOD gave me a cross on my back and I am the only animal in the bible GOD gave the ability to talk
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
Melody

All things I never knew except the loving on them part. All creatures should be loved.

Hi Melody, What a nice post about the Donkey. I do not know much about Donkeys but think that they are wonderful animals! I rode on as a young child and enjoyed that a lot. I wanted to let you know that I liked reading your blog as a first timer today. Thanks for the solid information. Your photo cracked me up!

Please sign this petition to stop this cruel and barbaric practice Donkey Roping. It can be deadly to the donkeys and if they survive they are traumatized and crippled for life. Will you please consider adding to your blog as a re-blog?
