Hello my friends..Sorry I haven't been here due to a family bereavement..I hope you are all well. My brother-in -law has a donkey that is so lazy, he stood in the same spot while the the field flooded around him. I love animals of all kinds and this puzzle is very special.God Bless............Hee Haw
Hi D5. Had to look up your flag to see where you're from - Ireland!
Very sorry to hear your family has lost someone. I pray that God give you and yours peace, strength and mercy.

Thought I was Irish-American. Relatives from Limerick. Uncle tried to trace and couldn't. Name too common but spelling indicates Scotch with maybe some Swedish so who knows?

Me, too, darambo, with some English thrown in there. My people did come over on the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom.

I'm definitelly 75% German. It's the Irish part that"s questionable...and 100% American.
My cousin's Connecticut neighbors have a small herd of sheep. She told me that the two donkeys in the field with the sheep were there to guard them. I stopped on a walk to have a meaningful conversation with a few of the sheep grazing near the fence. One of the donkeys came over within one minute. The other was guarding the other sheep. I was kind of amazed how ticked and confrontational the donkey coming to the fence was acting. Most animals trust and like me. This one put himself between the sheep and the threatening person. I could imagine what he would do to an animal predator.
People down the street from us have 3 or 4 donkey's. I went up to the fence one day and we had had ham with a mustard sauce that same day. I had washed my hands before going but apparently they have real good sniffers cause they came up to me and let me pet them and then one nibbled on my finger a bit more than was comfortable. When I said hey don't do that it eeeooonned (laughed at me. I told that donkey it was not nice. He seemed to think it was funny. Oh well, it didn't really hurt just startled me. They certainly live up to their temperament. I still love them though.
I wonder how old this donkey is - it's very cute! I know quite a few people who would see this and very likely squeal with delight and say something along the lines of, "I want one! "
Although I would love to have a cute little donkey, I really don't have a place to put it and, it's not a pet that you could allow to sleep in your bed. It would make someone a great birthday present (mine's today), like many of those little girls who want a pony for their birthday.

Many happy returns Jamie. My God Bless you and keep you for many more years. Sorry a day late...been so busy at work I haven't had time to do my jigsaws for a while. Hopefully your day was amazing.
It looks so stiff. Almost as if it is made of stone and covered in stone. It does not seem to have any life or spirit in its eyes. Hope its life is happier than it looks to me.
Very sorry to hear your family has lost someone. I pray that God give you and yours peace, strength and mercy.
May you never shed a tear.
