Just When You Thought You'd Seen It All. . .
Donkey Doodle Dandy Loves To Roll In The Dirt
Okay, I haven't figured out how to make a video of Cary with my camera yet, but I did muster up the courage to turn the little dial from its permanent setting on AUTO to a new shooting mode--Fast Shutter: "For shooting fast moving objects." So while I don't have a mini movie of this priceless donkey moment (do you love that big white underbelly or what?), I did get several more action shots. Click here to see them. This photo is actually the last one I took--right before (and this has never ever happened) the memory card announced that it was full!

ReplyDeleteOH MY !!! OH MY !!! I nearly passed out from the cuteness. My mind can't handle it. Best photo ever !!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe he was Rolling On The Floor Laughing! Awesome picture!
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!! Hilarious DDD photos! These are priceless! This rolling-in-the-dirt thing must be the same all through the animal kingdom; I have a hen and several outdoor cats who love a good roll in the yard. I guess it helps them scratch, or get rid of fleas?
ReplyDeleteBwuahahahahahahaha! THat's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that!?! I want a donkey now...
ReplyDeleteAdorable donkey! :) How many times do you get to say THAT?
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I just found your blog and I think it - and YOU - are delightful. I'll be a regular visitor from now on.

Great shots! Makes me feel like rolling in the dirt, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a riot!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! He certainly looks like he's having a good time!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to scratch him on his white belly like I do our dogs!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be better or cuter! My "aahhww" factor went through the roof! Wow, is Dan cute!
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone's mentioned this in a previous post, or maybe you already know, but Jon Katz has a great series of articles on how he came to own and love donkeys at Slate. I haven't read the most recent article to the end, but his earlier ones were delightful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera do you have? I make movies with mine simply by putting it on the movie setting and pressing down the shutter button (which stays down in this setting--action!). Then press it again to stop (cut!).
You can even post them on your blog without having to anything but uploading them to a free service like blip.tv. which has a blogging feature.
It would be fun to see some footage (pun intended) from your farm. :-)
hi farmgirl,
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll post a video of this darling guy too! It's been raining here and all of my horses have been rolling in the mud. they are not a pretty sight.

Like a cat! O that Danny Boy!
ReplyDeleteLOL Great photo! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a donkey, too! That's why I'm visiting your blog for the first time. My donkey, Magnolia, does the same thing--especially after a period of rain, when the ground dries up, she gets on her back and gives it a good scratching in the dirt. I'm loving your blog; I only get to be a farmgirl part-time, so this is helping me get a daily dose.
ReplyDeleteA donkey roll! I love it. But, that piglet, now. That's Babe, isn't it?
