Yesterday:
He walked right up the ramp and hauled just fine. When we were home and I went to unload him, he was actually fast asleep! He walked down the ramp after several minutes of staring, waltzed into his pasture, and happily munched on grass after I took his halter off. No drama at all! However, he wouldn't let me come within 10 feet of him. In fact, I was going to halter him to bring him in for the night, but in his efforts to get away he actually conveniently ran right into his shelter!
Today:
At first, he still wanted nothing to do with me. I set out a lawn chair, and he gradually warmed up to me after about 20 minutes. By the end of the day, he was standing great for grooming, fly spray, and haltering. In the beginning he would run away from me, but later he came when called and followed me around like a puppy.
So cute! Donkeys are so silly and fun! I wish we still had the one at our barn.
