I don’t often get to see Fanny and Lulu in their donkey madness, but today they put on a show.
First Lulu brays, then Fanny brays. I rarely hear them bray. You can see Izzy the Romney Sheep kicking up her heals too. After Lulu brays, if you listen carefully, you can hear the donkeys who live up the road braying back.
Your two donkeys are so beautiful and fierce when they want to be. They look like they are trying to protect/herd the sheep from danger and letting everyone know with the braying… even their donkey friends down the road. They deserve the carrots !
They definitely deserve the carrots. I hope they don’t ever get in in their minds to visit the donkeys down the road, I know there would be no stopping them.
I LOVE it.
Big doins at Bedlam Farm….the full moon? watching Fate and Bud run in circles around the sheep for too long? Laugh out loud funny!!
Could be that moon!
Donkeys herding sheep! Only at Bedlam Farm. That was the cutest thing ever!!!
They really are fun to watch.
Wonderful Show!
Odd and maybe related: our first two cold days with morning frost have just happened and both days our two elderly cats shed their years and tore around chasing each other and finding forgotten balls to scoot around after and then laboriously carry upstairs in their mouths and then roll beneath a closet door and wait for us to pick them out and throw them down the stairs again.
They get so cross picking them up by the balls’s ridged pattern and miaow and growl at them…
Maybe it’s the change of seasons. I expect this kind of activity in the spring, but haven’t thought of it much in the fall.
That was the coolest thing to watch.
I love watching them when they do this too.
That was the BEST video yet …. I LOVED it. I guess Lulu and Fanny have been paying attention to Red and Fate and decided to try their skills at herding. Thanks for sharing that. I’m so glad you were there at the right time with your camera.
They do look like they were trying their heels at herding!
Looks like so much fun! Full moon is Wed…time to kick up our heels!
Yes!!
I never knew that donkeys got “zoomies” like dogs do! The poor sheep looked so confused!
They’ve just started doing it again after a quiet summer. At least the sheep knew to get out of the way!
Taking lessons from Fate?
Ha! definitely!!
And so it was that their spirit and energy was released! I’m a farm girl from birth, that was a beautiful freedom run and you were there to catch it! Woot!
Oh I like that even better than Donkey Madness, Freedom Run!
thanks, Maria, this was just the pick me up I needed today!
…so miss my donk connection,
they have moved to Oregon…glad you are filling that void Maria
Love them frolicking donks.☺️
So glad to be able to pass the donkey joy along Wendy.
Wow…in all the years of following I never saw the donkeys kick up their heels like this.It was fun to watch.
I was lucky to be able to catch them at it and have my iPhone at the same time.
