Sometimes you just gotta wonder
Posted by Morning Bray under Donkeys | Tags: Bernard, donkeys, Ellsworth, grass stain |[9] Comments
How does a donkey get a grass stain on the bridge of his nose? It was the first thing Don and I both noticed when we got home yesterday.
Sometimes you just gotta wonder what happens when you’re not around. In this case with the grass stain, it’s obvious who the responsible party is. Inquiring minds want to know how.

Frozen in the snow
Posted by Morning Bray under Dogs | Tags: dog, Don, Enzi, frozen in the snow, game, hubba |[13] Comments
Don’t be alarmed. This is just a game. It’s called frozen in the snow, and Enzi loves to play it.
Don makes a monster hand, and Enzi makes a face in return.
Enzi maintains that face until Don moves his hand again, hence, she’s frozen in the snow.
There’s also an audio component to this game. It’s called hubba. You’ll have to wait for an upcoming Sunday Cinema for that.

Sunday Cinema – Being content
Posted by Morning Bray under Donkeys, Sunday Cinema | Tags: content, donkeys, fence |[6] Comments
The fence connecting the corral to the pasture was completed yesterday morning. This is a huge change for the better and we’re thrilled the boys now have the ability to come and go as they please.
We’ve been waiting for something exciting to happen as a result to share with you on today’s Sunday Cinema. Bernard and Ellsworth would rather show you what being content looks like.

Saturday Stuff – Playing in the rain
Posted by Morning Bray under Birds, Donkeys, Saturday Parts & Stuff | Tags: bird, Don, donkeys, playing, purple finch, rain, sandhill cranes |[15] Comments
Don was home waiting for the fence guys yesterday afternoon when it started raining.
This little bird; a purple finch, didn’t seem very happy with the rain. Don saw him through the window, went outside and got a picture.
Then the boys started a ruckus. I’d say Don did a darn good job of capturing the moment.

Our sentinel

First, our contest winner, of course! Congratulations to C in WI, whose name was pulled out of Don’s hat. She’ll be seeing a Morning Bray Farm travel mug in her mailbox very soon.
C in WI Says:
March 16, 2010 at 5:39 amI love my morning whiskery kisses!
Thanks to all of you for celebrating with us. We had so much fun reading all of your captions!
Our sentinel
In addition to being the gentle soul that he is, Ellsworth has established himself as the sentinel here at Morning Bray.
He’s always the first to spot everything…
…and anything.
He’s steadfast and refuses to be distracted from his job.
So many words are appropriate to describe Ellsworth. To name just a few: loyal, constant, faithful. What an amazing boy. We absolutely love him.

Scratch please
Posted by Morning Bray under Donkeys | Tags: Bernard, donkey behavior, donkeys, Ellsworth, scratch, The Donkey Sanctuary |[8] Comments
…patting a donkey is not really viewed as a positive experience by the donkey. Donkeys do not pat each other, and therefore find it difficult to understand what patting means. Patting is very similar to swatting a fly or smacking the animal, therefore it is always best to scratch the animal as a reward for good behaviour.
-The Donkey Sanctuary. “Understanding Donkey Behaviour,” 2006
Ain’t that the truth. The boys love to be scratched.
Bernard, Ellsworth gets a turn too.
We know how much you enjoy a good scratch…
…however, Ellsworth really does deserve a turn.
Obviously, you think otherwise.
