LOL I was thinkin..."That's back before Saddletramp started wearin glasses"
But then I seen the ears.......and knew Soapweed and his mule facination. Could it be a self portrait from years ago?
We had a friend keepin a donkey in our pasture a few years ago. One of our first calf heifers....well....it's hard to explain...so I'll try.
The fella that the donkey belonged to. Had a girl friend. That just absolutely fell in "love" with this heifer. She was sooooo worried about her. So when it came almost time for her to calve...she wanted to know if they could load her up and take her home so that she could be watched real close. LOL I told her I didnt care. So they loaded her up. A few days later....he was gettin up to go to work, and looked out and seen her in labor. Ended up havin to pull the calf. So I guess it was a good thing that we let them do that. Cuz we aren't normally out in the pasture at 6 am in the mornin. Anyway...back to the donkey. They loaded the cow and calf up to bring back home. Got to the pasture, opened the gate, mama and baby step out. And that Donkey ran up there and grabbed that calf by the scruff of it's neck and off he ran....all the way across the creek to the back of the pasture. Off the fella went, truck trailer and all..across the creek chasin the donkey down. Finally the donkey let go of the calf, and he pasture roped the donkey, and loaded him up and took him strait to the salebarn.
