Mind Yo Mama



I don't care if you call them a donkey, an ass, or a burro, I like them, but I like the miniatures best. I used to go to the cattle auction with John every week. If a donkey went through the ring and someone bought it the cowboys would laugh and make fun but now it seems to be a fad to have a donkey or two or three. Maybe they have found they do keep the coyotes away. When I spot one driving down a country road I ohhh and awww and sometime get John to stop. He spotted this baby donkey one day so took me by there to see it. I wanted to take it's picture 'cause you know it is sooo cute. It and it's Mama were close to the fence so I started creeping closer and closer to get a better shot (I know my pictures couldn't compare to the good photographers in blogs) but I like them since I'm from the old school anyway. Just as I was about to snap the picture the Mama made a noise and turned away from me and the baby did the same so that is why I have a picture of donkey hinnies. I think the Mama donkey told the little one not to talk to strangers and it minded it's Mama.

Yeah, there you go again. You must have been one of the inspirations of Dr. Dolittle's theme song, 'Talk to the Animals'.
Great entry and I love your shots.

Donkey hinnies are as cute as any, but really do love their faces and backs and tails, and...
just cute! And they really DO keep the cycoty's away.
