Sounds like a fair and equitable solution.

I think it is very fair as well but I still miss that crazy donkey ,I still expect him to meet me every day for a carrot .I miss his braying from a distance letting me know he was near. He was a real sweet creature .

Sounds like it is a fair. The most important thing is that the guys learn from this. I know that you and Joan are still hurting from this, and just know we are still thinking about you two.

Thanks for thinking of us ,we will always miss him and hopefully the boys have learned from it .You would not think you would get so attached to a crazy donkey but we sure did .

Why not John ? Like you said, it had become a member of your extended family.

I just found this thread. Sorry to hear about this. We have two mini donkeys and know how affectionate they can be.

[flash]

We still miss him terribly but my neighbor is thinking about getting a pair of mini donkeys so it will be good to hear them .

[flash]

We had a new pair of donkeys in our pasture for a while and was getting one of them tamed enough to pet her ,the other one was too scared to come close to us and then my brother in law decided to split them up .He took the friendly one away and left the shy one so we never see either one now .I guess it just wasnt meant to be .

Keep working with the shy one. Might just come around now that it is the only one left.

Have him arrested, no excuse for such stupidity! Sue him for damages also. No mercy for such an idiot.
