• This brings out my rural living envy.
• As a farm-raised girl now living in the urban jungle, I love reading this guy's Slate columns. He writes brilliantly and his affection for his animals is really touching.
• Donkey No. 2 joined her when I got a phone call from a woman who described herself as a "Jewish donkey spiritualist," a term I hadn't heard before and don't expect to hear again. Pat bred donkeys and had studied and written about their symbolic significance, their place in the ancient world, and their profoundly spiritual natures. Both Jewish and Christian theologies are filled with biblical and other references to donkeys, she pointed out. Carol, like all my donkeys, wore a cross on her back, a pattern of dark hair behind the shoulders. That was a cool read, thank ye H-donkey. Anybody know the going price for a bale of hay?
• Too much donkey love (NSFW).

• That kid's no Horse Whisperer, fershur. May I introduce the "Tanks" of donkeydom the Baudet du Poitou. Dis widdle guy's got the Cutes pretty bad. They are the largest of donkey breeds and are noted for having the longest ears of any donks.
• Aww... he's like the offspring of a donkey and a sheep. Very interesting articles about two breeds of which I knew nothing before! Thanks, BlueHorse-- a handful of oats from me.
• Thanks BH. I've been having an running debate with my neighbors about horse vs mule power. My neighbors to the south are Amish, so they're pretty much all about horses -- and oats and winter wheat and and and all the work that goes into just feeding horses, another neighbor also has a couple draft horses but feeds them only hay, _lots_ of hay. I myself am cheap and lazy, so one day, if my ambitions should reach so far as to require more than hand tools, I will most likely get me a mule. They eat hay, they eat burdock, they eat laundary. So, they've got more ... personality... but I figure if they don't want to work one day then maybe neither would I. For more petro-fuel-free farming fun, have a look at the Small Farm Journal.
