Dexter the Donkey

Usually dogs are enemies with donkeys, but Dexter loves his buddy Sarah. Donkeys have a natural dislike of dogs, coyotes and other canines. They stand their ground by braying, biting, kicking and will chase intruders. Farmers have been placing donkeys in their pastures to guard livestock from the predators. Donkeys are herd animals, they will regard the herd as family, which brings out their natural protective instinct. Many people "mostly my family," call him a stupid donkey, which is so untrue. Donkeys are not stupid and  stubborn, they're just smart. You can't force a donkey to do anything he's not sure about or chooses not to do. They evaluate and think things through. Thus, this is why they are called a "Stubborn Ass." They have exceptional hearing and eyesight, which I have witnessed when he sounds his howling type alarm, then I know some type of animal is nearby. Usually it is a cat walking along the border of the trees, but Dexter knows he is an intruder. He does not cause a ruckus when the deer are in the field. He just watches them. Donkeys front legs are very powerful and they will stomp a predator and their kick is so swift. Dexter is very selfish, he will not let anyone near his food. The dogs always run when he gets fed. I just call him my "Manure Factory," my gardens are beautiful.

Sarah & Dexter

 Dexter is truly an idiot.
 Keiser is Dexter's favorite pal they are always licking each other.
 Dexter is a good kisser, my family thinks that is disgusting.
