Every time i see your sig and that GORGEOUS baby donkey, my entire train of thought gets completely derailed and i sit here for 5 minutes going EEEEEE at the cute little donkey.
Oh nooooo. I want a donkey. I am ashamed to admit I've never seen a baby donkey in real life, i think a soft furry, friendly baby donkey would just send me over the edge.
I saw the most amazing donk I have ever seen last week. It was in Horspital (I had taken a colic case there) It had ears about a foot long and must have been a good 14hh. With a great long coat and blonde "highlights"on her ears. Apparently some rare breed,with a metabolic problem due to being in foal. Abbsolutely stunning donk.
Hacking round the back of a zoo. It was out in a paddock behind (close behind) a chain link fence of some height but complete 'transparency'.
We didn't fare much better with the Bengal tiger...
I have met ostriches, with the brave little mare. She just looked (hard) but didn't do anything. An eleven hand mule doing nothing more than stand idly about caused my lunatic brat to reach meltdown via panic attack and several 360 spins whilst retreating at speed. Loveable and genuine but completely lily-livered. (I grant him the tiger distrust, though)
is Fleur, Pebbles mummy? what is Fleur crossed with to get pebbles if so?? i want a donkey but possibly a miniture donk as parents would only be ok with an extra little dude/dudette
I'm actually painting a little oil of a coloured donkey foal at the minute in preparation for a big donkey painting I'm planning! Only thing is it is so fluffy it looks more like a rabbit than a donkey in some poses!
Fleur is NOT Pebbles mum. Pebbles' mum is a small dark brown Bulgarian donkey. Fleur does like to think Pebbles is hers though.
kittykatcat - I am shocked by the market thing, donkeys are so expensive these days, I didn't think they went for so little anywhere now. Don't suppose you would PM me which market it is please.
I have a fab donkeyforum, if anybody wants to join, horse owners are very welcome.
