Donkey love
-
Great pictures Janneke! I am jealous that you get to take Tillo to the zoo. :)
Mojo also has a donkey friend, his name is Billy. He is the lone donkey in a herd of horses where I used to live/work. The dogs had to do their business down by the fence and whenever I let Mojo out to go, he couldn't concentrate if Billy was over in that area. He just HAD to go try and play and pull out Billy fuzz. lol He could care less about the horses most of the time, except of course if they were running around being hyper idots. :)
My pictures are very poor and from a distance, but here's Mojo trying to entice Billy into a little play.
And yes, donkeys can be very stubborn!

In the second pic, is Mojo doing the Basenji neck twist? When Magnum does the neck twist (we call it "twisty neck"), it's always in frustration. Maybe Mojo is communicating to Billy, "Would you come on and PLAY already!?!?"

I LOVE seeing all the pics of Tillo. It seems as if he's part of my family, watching and reading about him growing and training, and just being his 'Tillo' self. A handsome and well behaved 'senji.
Thanks for the pictures!!
(BTW…I was giggling over the pictures when the DH says "what's so funny" and I answered "donkey love pictures". He was uncommonly quiet so I handed him my lap top and he started to laugh his fool head off!! He thought I ran across some kinky porn site:D)

Donkeys must be pretty good with dogs, but I have heard that horses maybe not so much. My friend's boxer got kicked by a horse and suffered with a lot of internal bruising and was put on prednisone… he was okay after the swelling went down, though.

I think Mojo was planning his next attack. lol He likes to leap up and grab the fur off Billy's chin/neck. Billy is quite the little instigator with all the poor horses so Mojo was right up his alley.

It depends on the horse. Some are afraid and skiddish around the dogs. Others are indifferent. And yet others get pissed and strike back! lol The farm dog at work used to be let out a lot in the mornings while we were herding in the horses from the field. This was a collie/ACD mix most likely and he did sometimes get a little too obnoxious with the horses. We had one or two that would chase the dog and the little guy did get kicked a couple times. He wasn't the brightest!

My boy doesn't mind the kids. :) This was Mojo's first birthday.

Those are beautiful pics, I love that look of curiosity on this breed's face!:cool:

We call it "rotate-o-head". Nemo does it all the time when he want to see what's going on behind him (particularly if someone is eating something). He'll just stay like that for a minute or so. You'd think it would be disorienting looking at the world upside down.

These are some of the cutest pictures I've ever seen!
