Miniature Donkey - Major Fun!
October 23, 2015
Our tagline - "Wholesome Living in a Colorful World" was never truer as when we added Gus-Gus to our farm. Â That is, "Colorful" as in zany personality when we added this goofball to our "Love Where We Live" home.
Â
The story of Gus-Gus.

Â
After the 6+ hour roadtrip, we arrived back at Home Sweet 444Farm.  In the dark.  And in the country...dark means DARK! Â
Â
Jay being Jay (organized,does things the right way), heads to the shed to turn on the light so we could see what we were doing.
Â
Me being me (spur of the moment -Â what could possibly go wrong?!), lets the donkey out of the trailer and plan to lead him into the corral.
Â
Gus-Gus being Gus-Gus first says, "What were you thinking of throwing me in the back of that trailer and hauling me down the interstate? Â No food. Â No water. Â No windows. Â Ok, fine there were windows, but I'm vertically challenged. Â I couldn't see anything except these big scary lo
Â
ud boxes going by. Bump thump bump. Â And quit stomping on those brakes! Â I'm a land animal - I don't enjoy surfing! Grass! Â You got grass here! Â Oh, this is some good stuff! Wait, what's that? Â You're not really going to make me live with ... goats??!! Â Whew, there's a fence between us. Â Alright, things are looking up. Â Could I bother you for a back scratch? Â Now the rump...what about the ears...Yeah, yeah, oh a little more. And we're good!"
Â
During Gus-Gus's very Loud (cuz quiet in the country is REALLY quiet), very L-O-N-G extended bray, DH (dear husband) is heard shouting, "What's going on?  Is everyone ok?"  I, however, cannot answer being doubled-over with a big ol' belly laugh. DH confesses to visions of Gus-Gus dragging me all over the pasture with me holding on for dear life.
Â

But the truth is he is a love bug! Â
He loves to "help" us open the gate. Â (This one worries me)
A Â treat moves you from stranger to friend in .2 seconds
He doesn't like selfies! (This is also a bit disconcerting)
He "cries" when you leave in the morning. Â
Â
I know, I know! Â Where's the video of him braying? Â Technology has not been my friend tonight...The suspense will have to build...
