Meet George! When I was getting ready to leave Needles on Tuesday, a woman who I gave a card to earlier called me and told me that the donkey that was in the Desert Hills Fire photo , was found and on the way back to its pen, along with 2 horses and another donkey. All owned by John White. He found them down the street, they followed him home to their pen. I ran over there to meet the animals! They were so "domesticated", they came up to me, George put his head on my arm for me to pet him! Safe and sound from the Willow Fire.

Throw some water on Dems and they become one of you? Sounds like a plan to me.

When firefighters battling a 7,000 acre wildfire in Arizona spotted a donkey emerging from the flames, they cooled off his singed body with their hose. Now, they can't get rid of him.

The Barron Park neighborhood in Palo Alto, CA has two donkeys who live by Bol Park. Our kids loved to bike over and visit them when they were little.
Nick & Perry are great neighborhood friends to all.

Needles isn’t far from Oatman, AZ — where tame donkeys roam the city streets by the dozen.

The top picture reminds me of our two little donkey boys we miss so very much. Clinton, and Harry used to play together in the corrals years ago.
They’d see me pulling the water hose to the two 25 gallon water barrels each morning, and nights feeding time, and I would lay the hose into the barrel, and go back to turn on the faucet.
One day I went up the hill in the evening to feed them, and found the boys had moved the corral panels, stretched their necks as far as they could, and grabbed the water hose laying on the ground a distance away from the corrals, dragged the hose into the corral, dropped the hose over the water barrel, and were busy trying to get the end of the hose over to the barrel. My BIG little helpers. Fortunately they hadn’t damaged the hose any during their attempt to help me. I just stood there, and laughed, then went into the corrals, and we all had a big hug session.
I’d love to have more donkeys as they are like having BIG puppies, but at our age it’s just not a good idea to start over. Still have two old horses left.
