The husband still called me to make sure we had females. He said the day he was having, he better double check with me. I told him yes, Minnie and Pearl were both jennies. He called the neighbor back and told him it was not our donkey. Neighbor said no one would claim it. The husband told him to just put it in our pasture and get it off the road.
They couldn't believe we would let it in our pasture. The husband and I believe that regardless if we put a loose animal in the right pasture, at least we are getting them off the road. I know as an animal owner, I would rather find my animal in a neighbor's pasture than hit on the road.
So they got a halter on the donkey and guess what it did? Sat down and refused to move! Took them an hour to get it to the gate. They said the minute they got it in the pasture and took the halter off, it ran! Goofy thing. Looks like we may be donkey foster parents!

hmmm, you're moving beyond the whole dog whisperer thing, aren't ya? :D
Scary. Wonder why no one would claim it?
I hope no one is going around letting animals loose. :|
You're good people. I would want a neighbor to take in my animals under the circumstances, too. :)
Be careful you may have ever Jack and Jenny around (needing a home) showing up in your pasture!
I agree with you ,better in my pasture than on the road!
You have a good heart.
I guess I don't see why they thought it was a big deal. Seems to me that it's not only common courtesy, it's common sense too! You did good! ;)
Sounds like you got yourselves another donkey! LOL! Yes, good to get it off the road, poor thing.
Good heavens! Well bless you for taking him in, poor thing!! How very bizarre.. I bet the girls will like him (I hope anyway!)
Sounds like a jackass to me. as soon as it is your idea, it ain't happening. left to their own devices, anything goes.
So his back end is okay, just beat up?
poor dude
I think your title went from crazy dog lady to crazy abandoned animal lady!
I just plain like you.
They sure can be stubborn things! You are great foster parents! I sure agree with CCC!
Although I already knew it, you are good people!
"They couldn't believe we would let it in our pasture." These people don't know you very well do they? :) You and the Husband are amazing people and the world is a better place for having you in it.
LOL! Well of course you let it in your pasture, good grief, has being a good person gone totally by the wayside? I once allowed a lady who had Clydesdales at the local library to walk them down to my house and turn them in our pasture. Good for you for giving the silly ass a place to park it! LOL! Can't wait to hear how this ends up
If no one claims him, you might be the proud new owner of a goofy ass. I agree...couldn't let him just stand there on the road!
Are you having problems in your area of people dumping horses off? Could this be the case?
OMG it's true, donkey's are stubborn! I just about died laughing reading about it sitting down. That's great!
You and the Husband are good-hearted! So since you have Minnie and Pearl, is this donkey going to be Roy (as in Acuff?)
You did exactly what I would have done. Better in someones pasture than out on the road, not only putting the donkey at risk, but drivers as well. It's just common courtesy.
I wonder what's (who's) coming next? ;)
