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.
It was unknown whether the donkey was tame or wild, but after the rescue, she followed her heroes around all day — refusing to leave their side.
Thankfully, after being pried away from his new friends, George the donkey was reunited with his owners.

Throw some water on Dems and they become one of you?
No, but they will smell better.

Oh yeah. He was also the one with the guitar courting what’s her name in The Searchers.

Thanks! I would have loved to see The Sons in person in their heyday. Incredible singers and music.
The song after Wagon Wheels is Ghost Riders. I have about ten covers of that song and it has its own playlist on my iPhone. There’s a great story behind that song.

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.

Don't the female Dems melt if you throw water on them?

Some of the liberal women melt when you throw water on them.

That’s not fair to the donkey to compare them to Democrats.
Donkeys can be friendly as a large dog, loyal, personable, they get along with other animals except predators, and they are deadly to predators. Importantly, if a donkey likes you, they like you as a person, not just because you feed them.

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

I can attest to that. We have had three of them here at the ranch over the years, and they are pure love. BIG puppies.
