Bob the donkey is telling me go wake up the lady

I let bob and the horses out this morning Du community. And I’m on the back patio having coffee and smoking my pipe. And bob is at the fence in pasture telling me he needs a visit from his friend my wife bobs favorite lady. I tell bob you know this is just temporary you staying here ,seven years ago Bob came to us as a rescue. and it Is just temporary bob , He is one pushy needy guy.

Was it love at first sight or did your wife have to give him TLC since he was a rescue?

Bob was at first he was not sure about me. as his previous owner did not treat him nice. But I started to get bob hugs after awhile but mostly bob hugs are for the wife.

Can I use that foster failure in when explaining bob or Sam the goat or herb the rescue pig. And the four indoor cats that three of them showed up over the years. The Maine coon as well is in love with my wife he is 14 as he still sleeps on her pillow. I picked him up as anniversary gift for my wife when he was a kitten. The dogs were not rescues although the golden retriever is also in a serious relationship with my wife last 9 years.

who the good people are. Trust takes a while, but once they know you are their friend, it is wonderful. Bob sounds like a smart guy, too.You and your wife get back what you give, which is huge amounts of LOVE. Keep up the good work, it is well worth it.

Years ago my sister and her family also obtained a donkey in a trade. Jacob loved my sister more than any of the family members. Each morning when he saw her through the kitchen window he would bray until she came out and paid attention to him.
