Donkey Neighbors

Right down the road from where I live are donkeys. I was going to the store awhile back and noticed a baby donkey and his Mom close to the road. They were in a field with a fence of course. Nobody was around so I pulled over and snapped a few photos. They probably thought I had food, so they came right up to me. It gave me a chance to pet them and get a few photos. It was a cool experience. Sort of like a private zoo. No crowds, just me and the donkeys. They are great neighbors. Very quiet and only require the owners to feed and water them. Have you seen a donkey up close before? These were cool with the spots. Photo ©CarolDM2018

Those are pretty. Most of the ones around us are the usual gray color.

I love donkeys! They are so cute and sweet and very soft. I haven't been up to a donkey in years, but I saw one the other day when going somewhere it was out grazing with the other horses and of course I said in a childish voice, "A donkey!" haha

Yes I have years ago in Ireland Carol. They are lovely creatures. I am so glad you had time with them and that they are just down the road. Brilliant photo, thanks. I saw some goats the other day I should put the photo up too.

It tickles me. Animals are always looking for food. And the friends we can make with animals when we DO have food.
