We opened up the new pasture this morning to another driving rainstorm and the path to the outer pasture was a bog. Simon just plowed ahead and went right after all the scrub and Fanny waded in and followed him, but Lulu hesitated. Donkeys never abandon one another, not even for food. Lulu brayed nervously, Simon turned to her and brayed for her to come, Fanny turned around to see where she was. Fanny came back out for her, and Simon came to the gate. Then it started to pour and we brought all of the donkeys back into the pole barn. We’ll try again tomorrow. Lulu will make it, and Fanny and Simon will see that she does. I love the loyalty of donkeys to one another.
