Where Do You Keep Your Donkeys?



Image from Bing Images

An ad in our local weekly newspaper under "wanted to rent" reads:

Responsible older male needs small farmhouse to rent
w/facilities for 2 mini donkeys.

Am I being too fanciful to think that this might be a pretty interesing guy and that there might be a good story behind this ad?

  3. I'd be curious too! I always enjoyed reading the want ads, they always were filled with interesting tidbits like this; makes you want to call him and just ask how he came to have two mini donkeys in his possession

    hope he does find a place to rent!

    betty

  6. We keep our donkeys in the pastures with the cattle. They actually protect the cattle from stray dogs, coyotes and other wild life but minis....awwwww!

    I don't think there any larger than a good sized dog. Cute...I want to know the rest of the story! :o)

    Have a fantastic day sweetie!!!

  7. Yes, I think you should call him and do an interview!

    I pass some donkeys every day, and they are such a hoot. The other day a male was trying to mount a female, and she was kicking the crap out of him! Another time they were separated, and he stood at the fence braying(?) like crazy for her!

  8. Mini donks are really cute...there's a picture on one on the header of my blog (judy-judysphotos.blogspot.com)...they make great pets, so I'm sure he wants to keep them near him...

  10. I guess I need to start reading the "want" ads...Sounds like an interesting place to "be".
    Loving your post.
    Where do you get these fun pictures, like the one of Doc raking leaves? Seems like you find them for all occasions.

  16. Now that is interesting. I'm afraid he'd have real trouble in Hawaii since I can't imagine where you could stable donkeys or horses here... Hmmm...maybe on the other side of the island. Then again... do we even have donkeys over here?

  17. Yes indeed this is fodder for a great story.

  18. What is a mini donkey? Like a mini horse? My first thought was he's planing on offering rides and needs a place where people can bring their kids for rides around the farm. I guess I always think of the business aspect of things.

  19. Certainly makes you wonder! Why would he have the two before having the facilities to house them? I'd love to hear the story. These are the kinds of ads that some of the newspaper staff should scan, investigate and write about. Surely would make a good human interest story, I bet.

    First time here and I love it! I'll be back!
