I've never owned a Mini Donkey before, Ever since I got her I've heard about how 'You don't train them the same way you train horses' That they are totally different! So I haven't been too sure WHAT to do with her.I just wasn't sure then what I should or shouldn't do with her. I'm unclear about the philosophy behind the mentality of a donkey! So, I'm ashamed to say...I've taught her nothing but to let me cuddle and kiss and hug her all the time!  She follows me around like a dog, and has been just fine until just the other day when she gets impatient if I'm spending time grooming my horse or not giving her attention...she starts nudging me with her head and then she actually started jumping up on me like a dog! Right up on her hind legs! And I've seen her do it to Galeron too! ( He just ignores it)

But, I can see that it could be trouble! And, even though she is so small, and it doesn't hurt, It certainly seems disrespectful!

So, I decided I'd just start with teaching her some basic Ground manners. So, this is the start of what we did today before I took my horse for a ride!

Notice in the video Galeron keeps, sighing and snorting like he'd wish I'd quit messing with her and pay HIM some attention! Those two are so funny!

The other day when I came to deliver hay to them, it was raining and she was standing underneath his belly to keep from getting wet! It was hilarious! She always does the funniest stuff when I don't have my camera phone ready!

Anyway, here she is! My little "Mini Poo"
