Some of you may remember this photo from our post here when Dakota was still with us.
What WERE we all staring at?
Mom has been walking us in shifts since she hurt her back in March. We are finally able to go for short walks, but now she takes Phantom first, and then she comes back for Ciara and Thunder. While she was out with Phantom the other day, Phantom heard some familiar but funny sounds. He convinced Mom to cross the big busy street so he could get a better look.
"Mom, I think we need to go a little closer. There is one of those creatures right there, but I think I can see another one just a bit further down the road who might be closer to the fence."
"No, that's the same one. Keep going, please."
"Yeah, look at that one! Can we get a little closer?"
"Hey there, what are you eating? Wait until the Herd sees you. Do you think you might like to do some zoomies with me?"
This is the closest the mini-donkeys have ever let us come to them. They usually run to the back of their lot when they see us coming. Mom wouldn't let Phantom get any closer because she wasn't quite sure what would happen if Phantom and the donkey came nose-to-nose. Thunder and Ciara are hoping to get the Momster to take them to meet the mini-donkeys too. Hope you enjoyed meeting Phantom's new furiend.

Woos, the OP Pack
I just KNOW the mini-donkeys would LOVE to be your pals!
ReplyDeleteThe zoomies would be so much fun!

Phantom's like "dude, PLEASE come over my house, and DO something with this new pest they call Ciara...she's totally interrupting my beauty sleep all the time..."
ReplyDeleteNice friend! Nice boy Phantom! very polite!
What cool new friends you have Phantom and well done for being quiet and getting close.
ReplyDeleteWe have a new little foal at the riding stables we walk past - mum tries to get his pic but has not been able to get close enough yet because of us.
She does not want the foal or his mum to get frightened.
You must be a nice calm dog - you would never have got that close with Ciara!
love
Martha and Bailey xxx
Oh how lovely that the little donkeys let you get close. Perhaps they are realising you mean them no harm. Thats so sweet.. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteAdventures + Furiends = Fantastical Times!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that sister of yours would be so discreet...

We think the mini-donkey is just adorable! We bet he's very friendly, Phantom! Maybe you can bring him a carrot next time!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Donks, mini and larger, sometimes have a thing for dogs... and it's not a good thing!
ReplyDeleteCool furfriend Phantom! We hope the mini-donkey will join you one day to do zoomies.
ReplyDeleteSam & June
That is a cute little guy. I bet he would be fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteCiara is developing a most joyful singing voice! I think she has a big career ahead of her.

Zoomies with a Donkey, that sounds like lots of fun. Be careful he doesn't kick you.
ReplyDeleteLove Ruby & Penny
Wooooos Phantom! woo got to meet a new and exciting new friend, and how nice that woo get to go on a walkie all by yourself, and Mom of course. I hope woo had fun!

What a super cool new friend. I wonder what breed of dog he is??
ReplyDeleteHmmm...we think that is a wonderful new friend. But we hope you guys don't get any ideas about bringing one home!
ReplyDeletegussie
the donkey is so cute!! i hope to meet yr new pal too!! =))
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool friend to have!! Take him a few carrots next time and he will love you forever!! Just don't stick your paw through the fence because he might bite it!! They are fun to watch! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
ReplyDeleteI am just trying to visualize that donkey doing zoomies....nope, just can't even go theres...hehehe!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you cans sneak out oneday and get reals close.
Puddles
The mini-donkey is so cute. I guess you had the right smells to lure him over.
ReplyDeleteAs for walking dogs separately -- just ask our mom. We get so rambunctious when we see another dog if we're together, that she walks each of us separately. That's six walkies a day. Dogdad is much stronger so he takes us together and even he sometimes gets tied up in crossed leashes!
Wirey love,
Jake and Just Harry
Love seeing how our pups love to sniff out any new or different animal! Such wonderful curiosity! Did the donkeys allow TD and Ciara so close - or would those two have gone bonkers?!!!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs xoxoxo

We went the other day to see a herd of mini-donkeys a few miles from here. I love to see them all in the field together. I'd love to have one, but don't know how they'd mix with my pack of crazy dogs.
ReplyDeleteOh, the mini donkey is so cute. Touching noses through the fence should be fine. Donkeys and Horses are usually OK with dogs as long as the dogs don't jump up on them. ~AFSS
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new friend Phantom!! We think maybe if you took baby steps you could meet him even closer!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory
Last weekend at training, I came face to face with a horse. It came right up to the fence and we sniffed each other. I was very excited but didn't bark!
ReplyDeleteKat
Wow...look at that cute l'il donkey! Gosh, you're almost as big as he is, Phantom. I hopes you get to know him better in the future cuz I think he must like you to let you gets that close.
ReplyDeleteWiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
oh goodness that wittle mini donkey was just precious. hope you can give him some sugars in the future and zoomies wiff a mini donkey would be full of the excitement

the pittie pack
Wow! What a cool furiend! :) I bet zoomies would be soooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteMochi
p/s: Both Samantha & June can use their paws to hold bones. :)
ReplyDeleteNice friend Phantom, that does look like a good place for zoomies with him.
ReplyDeleteThe donkey probably could tell Phantom was a nice calm gentleman.
It might be a different story with Ciara.
Remy and Flash
Neat! What is your friend's name? Very cute! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Phantom what a nice friend you found there.. Bet we could put some herding on him... he he

What a fun new furiend Phantom! And he's not going through puppyhood - Woo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool friend. Scooter is the one that was always trying to get out with the horses when we had them! He loved to ride.....Just loved to be around them.
ReplyDeleteI bet they will become fast friends.
How cool that you have mini-donk friends too! Have you seen our friend Courtney's in some of our posts? They sure can be noisy!
ReplyDeleteSnorts-
Brutus the Frenchie
They're like medium dogs, as opposed to the Herd's really big dogs! How adorable.
ReplyDeleteNeat-O..mom said we can't have a mini dunkee for a pet
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Nice encounter...progress is being made toward friendship...and this is ONE time when being friends with a jack *** would actually be rewarding! :)
ReplyDeleteMini Donkeys! Wow! That would be the best pals ever! We have to bark at cows and sheep....BORING!
ReplyDeleteWyatt
I bet that can remind you of a movie, yes, Pinocchio! With a big noisy Yeeee/Haw!!! They can be very mean biters though, Phantom, right in your hip! Woooo, careful!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Stella
Mini donkeys? Are they the size of you? We have never seen donkeys here. Maybe they do have in the zoo but we can't go to the zoo.
ReplyDeleteCrikey, you've got a mini donkey for a pal, that is totally awesome matie.
ReplyDeleteSorry we havent been by for a while. It's D's fault.
Hope you're having a good weekend and we hope your mum's back is on the mend.

Donkeys!
ReplyDeleteMust be nice to be able to see different types of animal friends around.
Here me get to see squirrels occasionally, cats on the streets, pigeons, cockroaches, lizards...
Cheers,
Maxx
What a cute little friend, mini donkeys are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat mini donkey is very cute, but I'd watch out if I were you. I heard through the kibble-vine that they like to kick....and they kick hard! So be careful, k?

ReplyDeleteA mini donkey is a mighty interesting creature! It would be tons of fun to plays with if you could! At least My Monty thinks so!
ReplyDelete快下班囉~來幫你加油~~........................................
ReplyDeletePhantom, I am so impressed! It doesn't look like you even barked once at those donkeys. If that woulda been me, I would have barked my fool head off and then barked some more. I'm glad you and your mom get to spend some time alone together for walks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to your Mom!
Snuggles,

Hi Phantom - aw, that donkey is real cute, FH has never seen such a small donkey before! We are impressed at how well behaved you were, we wonder if Ciara and Thunder will be as good as you were?!
ReplyDeleteWe loved the pressies that Thunder got in the post - isn't snail mail brilliant?

Wow Phantom........thanks for introducing us to your new friend, he looks so cool! Mum says we'd probably get over-excited if we saw one of those critters and we might be uhh, naughty or sumthin...what? Huh!

ReplyDeleteMummy ays thanks and hopes your Mom had a gRRRT Mother's day too.
wags, Gin n Bud
I love these photos...Our neighbor has several miniture horses and she wants to give me one...Hubby says it can't sleep in the house, so I guess I'll have to pass, for awhile...
ReplyDeletePhantom,
ReplyDeleteYour new friend looks cool! I hope he can do zoomies with you some day!
Happy Mother's Day to your Mom!
Oh my goodness
ReplyDeleteWe had a donkey exactly like the little gray one. Her name was Kady Bell and another one called Hershey.
I know they are fun to look at and sniff- just be careful they do not nibble on your necks. A big owie could happen.
What brave hearts they were to come to the fence to say hi,
love
tweedles
that's fun looking friend. do you think he will play with you? we met some horses once. they weren't very playful, but we sure had fun barking at them. they were BIG.
ReplyDeletewoofs,

ReplyDeleteOh boy, bit behind on visiting.. hey phantom woo's your new pal? woo did good! not scaring him away. woo'll be bff's in no time!

Mini donkeys!! What fun. Mommy loves mini horses and donkeys. There is a farm in the country that has lots of them and when Samantha was little Mommy would take her to play with them. She sid it was so cute to see her and the mini's play together. I don't ever get to do exciting stuff like that.
ReplyDelete{{{huggies}}}...Mona
What a cutie! I bet they would be lots of fun to chase and play with!

Wow, that mini donkey was brave to get close to you guys. Of course, if I was there, I'd scare him off for sure (hee hee).
ReplyDeleteWe hope your mom's back feels better. Sore backs are no fun!
aww....what a very cute mini donkey your new friend is, Phantom. We hope Thunder and Ciara get to meet them too.
ReplyDeleteWe hope your mum had a lovely mums day!
