Lynn, Linda and John are going to try to take 13 donkeys to the 5K run Saturday in two trailers. I have a feeling the donkeys are going to really be popular. They have over 20 people wanting to run with the donkeys and over 60 people interested. To add to the fun and adventure, some of the donkeys have only been out once or twice on a lead running, so this will all be a new experience for them.
Some of them have not loaded in a trailer but a couple of times, one being Levi. His momma loads with no drama. When John picked them up to bring Levi out here, John said if the man hadn't got home from work, he'd probably still be there. LOL
Here was his first "training" session with Lynn and Linda a couple of days ago.

| NOPE NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED TODAY! |

| NOPE..... NOT DOING IT. If you notice his fanny is flat on the ground. He pulled that stunt when John tried to load him too. |

| DO I HAVE TO.........?? |

| WASN'T MY IDEA, BUT MOM WAS ALREADY IN SO I GUESS IT'S OK |
This session was about 20 minutes I think Linda said. Yesterday was about 10 minutes. Today, she asked Lynn what time it was and Levi loaded himself almost before she got an answer.
He is one of the ones going that hasn't had much training. This is going to either be a lot of fun, or an adventure, can't wait to find out which......!!! LOL
I am so proud of Rambo, I don't know what to say. He seems to have integrated into the herd. Most of the trouble has been from the other boys, kicking and laying their ears back. He's been backing up when they do that. Yesterday the "herd" went by Linda and she said he was in the middle of it. Last night he got to go out with the herd at bedtime and no one came in this morning with body parts bloodied or missing, so he's out with the herd today. He did do a screaming fit at one of the other boys, when he was still in his pen and Linda was there to yell at him and smack him a couple of times. But he seems to have settled down a lot and wanting to be part of the herd. YIPPEE.......!!!
This is BlackJack, Lynn and Big Gus. For some reason when they aren't close to each other BJ looks smaller than BG, here they look about the same size. Both of them probably have some French Poitou blood in them.

My dad used to have a full size mule that he worked some. The mule was usually by the house in a large pasture and it had a little bit of a hill in it The mule would sit on his but like a dog and watch what was going on but he stopped cars that wanted to see him sitting there and very comfortable sitting up.
Mules are such characters and so darn smart. Casper is so much fun to watch, you can almost see his little brain working inside that head. Lately he's been running with Turbo and Link the big boys, that looks weird, 2 big black mammoths and a rather small white mule, usually leading the parade. Maybe they are running with him........LOL
