Caden's Neighbor...The Donkey


Caden and Mr. Donkey


Our entire family lives on the family farm belonging to my husband's parents. In addition to each other, our closest neighbors are cattle...and an occasional donkey. Our neighbor raises Black Angus beef cattle, and he utilizes donkeys to help protect his herd.


We are all well acquainted with one of the donkeys in particular. Any time one of us walks or rides a bike down our little dirt road beside Mr. Donkey's fence, he blows and snorts at us! He used to "bully" Caden's daddy when he tried to jog up and down the road. It must have worked, because there hasn't been much running going on in a while...


Mr. Donkey tries hard to be intimidating, but we've discovered if we walk toward Mr. Donkey, he quickly retreats. Apparently, Mr. Donkey and Caden have a better relationship than the rest of us...

Oh how nice to have such a "Neighbor" as Mr. Donkey! That would be so great to live on a big farm and have those neighbors. You and your family are blessed.
