When Donkeys Pout...

On our busy farm we recently sold off the llama herd, and adopted Mabel the hunter/jumper dressage champ. Although gelded this made Lucky (the Arabian) VERY happy. Jujube (the mini donkey) is not a-flutter with romantic bliss. His big buddy is paying more attention to THAT GIRL. Juby behaves like Eeyore - sad, head down, and slightly withdrawn. We are attempting to help him through the little ass blues with lots of extra scratches, personal walks through the pasture, and out-and-out bribery in the form of carrots. There will be no Jenny for Jujube, pout as he might. Mercifully the chickens could care less...
