Donkey's have had to put up with People for thousands of years, and have worked for civilizations until they have dropped.<BR/>When we had an emergency with one of our sweet longears, my husband who's a scientist (very left brained!) was just as concerned as I was. He now realizes the wonders of Donkey's.<BR/>One more convert..Alright!!Laura Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157662018545613917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35778077.post-54242992977168896762008-02-02T15:36:00.000-08:002008-02-02T15:36:00.000-08:00I think donkeys are so tough because of a long his...I think donkeys are so tough because of a long history of putting up with humans. For their reputation of being stupid, stubborn, & lazy, I find them highly intelligent, interested in their own safety & not interested in wasting energy if they don't have to. I honestly believe that donkeys are the most misunderstood animal on the planet. They have helped to build empires since the beginning of time & are still unappreciated. <BR/><BR/>A good farrier is hard to find. Mine is on the road about 20 hours a day I think. She picked Jenny up north of Phoenix for us last spring, & was trimming her feet beside I-10 at midnight before we brought her the rest of the way home. She had 1 1/2 hours to drive home, & her day probably started early the next morning again.Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081546662933736184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35778077.post-81955069490614619282008-02-01T09:22:00.000-08:002008-02-01T09:22:00.000-08:00Tish, sounds like your farrier is as good as mine....Tish, sounds like your farrier is as good as mine... isn't it great to have someone like that?PaintedPromisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771284709068251348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35778077.post-51587987871787327202008-02-01T07:50:00.000-08:002008-02-01T07:50:00.000-08:00Dear Tish,When it comes to pain toleration such as...Dear Tish,<BR/>When it comes to pain toleration such as wound care, floating teeth, ect... I have seen some tough horses and mules. <BR/>But what makes donkey's tougher. It seems like if they trust a human who never hurt them, they will allow and even tolerate the worst veterinarian procedures easier than their counter-parts.<BR/>I know donkeys are special, but why ARE they so hardy????Laura Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157662018545613917noreply@blogger.com
