aaagggghhhh that poor donkey.
ReplyDeletexooxo
Renee - this was taken about 17 years ago when I
ReplyDeletewent with a group to visit St. Kitts and Nevis.
The poor fellow was resting in the road ( it
was sweltering ) but I guess when he saw all
of us descending, he thought he should make
an effort to get up!
This picture conjures up a bunch of strange stories, all about a donkey who refuses to get up. I'm glad you explained.
ReplyDeletePoor mite. He would have been better off lying down somewhere cool.
ReplyDeleteThere was a donkey in the opera we saw last night at The Met and all I could wonder was who keeps a donkey in Manhattan? Afterwards I saw the truck he arrived on called "Tame Animals for Hire" I wonder what he thought of his moments on stage?
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been visiting lately ... busy getting ready for a trip and hopping around on one foot as I have a stress fracture in the other one.
I have had days I felt like this picture protrays in fact I probably looked worse than the donkey......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute donkey. Bless it's heart and now that I know it was hot I really can see why he was resting.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I've never seen my parents' pony resting this way — I guess he would never get up again! I'll talk to him about this donkey. :O)
ReplyDeleteIt indeed is wordless
ReplyDeleteForest Warbler
That's a cute pony, but in an awkward position! Poor thing..
ReplyDeletetoo cuteeeeeeeeeee.. pardon the pun, but he is making an ass of himself LOL
ReplyDeleteOh that poor little old thing. Great pic though.
ReplyDeleteI saw you on Abby Jenkins...and you looked so cute with your glass of wine...I just had to stop by...and then I see a donkey...my FAVORITE...and then I see you live in Daly City.I am from Los Gatos and now live in San Luis Obispo...
ReplyDeleteI'll be following you along...
I'll check back later.....
Best,
Kary
He looks Tired!! Poor thing!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so funny! Great shot. You should run a caption contest!
ReplyDeletelakeviewer - this donkey really wasn't about to
ReplyDeletemove! I can't remember if he actually made
it all the way the way up!
Valerie, I agree - I thought the grass would
have been cooler - but there wasn't too much
shade anywhere..and he was on a short
tether.
Pat, so your opera donkey is a star! I am sure
someone advocates for very humane treat-
ment. I can't believe you do so much
running around with a stress fracture! Be
careful!
Bernie, I know what you mean! When I lived in
GA, I was always wilted. I have never
really liked the heat.
Nana Trish is Living the Dream - growing up in
the South, in my youth, I saw mules and
farmers plowing in blazing sun...I never
figured out how they could tolerate it.
And seeing Scarlett O'Hara cinched up in a
corset, wow! I'm glad those days are long
gone.
fullet - I really never saw horses or donkeys
lying down. This was a new thing for me.
Bhavesh - I was suprised to see this little
ReplyDeletedonkey lying on the road...but I was even
more amazed to see pictures of camels lying
down by the dozens in India. I don't know
why I thought they rested standing up!
Icy - I wonder if it was a baby - he seemed more
legs than anything.
Inky - you are too hysterical.
Glynis - I am so happy you visit my blog from
Cypress! I would love to see your home
someday when I travel in that part of
the world.
My Farmhouse Kitchen - thank you so much for
becoming a follower. We do, indeed, seem
to have a great deal in common. It must
be wonderful living in San Luis Obispo.
I would definitely miss San Francisco but
that part of the CA coast is wonderful
My son is talking of going back to grad
school - I wish I would return to his
alma mater, Cal Poly, but he's talking
about San Diego!
Donna - I think it's more the heat than fatigue!
Shark - a caption contest...not a bad idea!
