Saturday afternoon DS and I heard a loud noise in our front yard. We both went to check it out. We didn't see anything. Then I walked around the side of the house.
There in my back yard, big as life, was a donkey. Or maybe it was a mule... not sure. Either way it was not mine!
It trotted to the back fence and began nuzzling with the donkey or mule in that yard. Both braying and heehawing to beat the band.
It turns out my neighbor who has the wandering goats, now also has a donkey. He also has a pack of dogs, most on chains or in cages (shudder) and 2 calves. All these animals make for a very loud place. His chickens are gone, not sure where they went.
I hope this critter stays home. I hope his goats do too. They have eaten my pine tree until there are no lower branches left. I have found my potted roses eaten down to nubs.. while on my front porch. Plus goat droppings on said porch are not very nice to wake up or come home to.
I tried to get pictures of the donkey/mule but my camera decided to act out and I could not.It was kinda cute watching him/her though.
Ha! That is *not* what I expected you'd say you found. Heehee! I don't know what I thought you'd say, but not a donkey!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your roses and pine tree, though. That is frustrating.
