One needs only to look into the eyes of a donkey to see that - thank you for reminding us! <br /><br />Although... ahem... I wonder at times if Redford might not be in early training for the special forces. With world peace as the end goal, of course. He is quite the guardian in our herd.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-46598063734818762392010-12-10T09:02:14.857-05:002010-12-10T09:02:14.857-05:00Matthew, do not even THINK it!Matthew, do not even THINK it!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-58488689450368389792010-12-10T08:59:32.172-05:002010-12-10T08:59:32.172-05:00Ahhh Billie, of what do we not dream?

Rafer is such a highly evolved young donkey that he is even able to give voice to his observations whilst asleep - that boy is destined for greatness. I am told that I snore but of course that's typical of the rumour and innuendo that flies freely around here.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-84745052934709442842010-12-10T08:59:16.222-05:002010-12-10T08:59:16.222-05:00Greta, it was - I had never seen such a thing.

LOL - small people who know how to scratch in the right places!<br /><br />Redford and Rafer both are not amused by their own personal Nanuck who is wearing things like ski pants and huge LL Bean parkas to stay warm while doing chores. They have been running away from me - until I peel all the puffy, rustly layers off, then they decide, "oh, it's her after all." <br /><br />24 inches of snow certainly puts me in mind of an attitude of gratefulness. We have frozen ground, ice in water troughs, and 25 degrees this morning - but mercifully no snow!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-31342846160975049212010-12-10T08:13:06.801-05:002010-12-10T08:13:06.801-05:00Arlene, in this instance, the camera was inches aw...Arlene, in this instance, the camera was inches away from my typing hands! But I knew if I opened the door to take the photo he would get up. Unless I just happen to be in the right place with camera in hand, most of my photos end up being equines walking towards me!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-13955110677202478092010-12-10T06:01:19.955-05:002010-12-10T06:01:19.955-05:00Dougie Donk has asked me to tell you that he dream...Dougie Donk has asked me to tell you that he dreams of a Mediterranean climate: endless supplies of carrots, ginger biscuits and small people who know where to scrath in the right places.<br /><br />Instead he has 24 inches of snow & an increasingly crabby attendant who is dressed as Nanuck of the North.
