And the winner for cutest ass is...

Before I arrived at Justina's farm on Saturday, I'd heard vicious rumors that her new donkey, Bernard, was cuter than George and Alan. "Impossible," I scoffed under my breath.


Ok, I was wrong.


Just a year old, Bernard is still learning his manners.


He may not know it yet, but Bernard is living in paradise, where paradise equals an irrigated pasture, which he currently shares with three pygmy goats and two sheep. Another donkey will be added to the mix soon.


Yep, Bernard is one lucky donkey.


And so smart...he knows a good margarita when he smells one.

  2. Hi Carson: Bernard sure is cute. George and Allen greet me everyday on your header page and I continue to laugh at their antics. They are so cute too.
    It is nice to know that these amazing animals have found beautiful homes where they are treated so well.
    Thanks again for making my day!
    Best always, Sandra

  6. Phew! I can breath again. Sorry to hear abt the loss of power, but it was better than what I was imagining! I was sure Lyle (ilove it) had locked you in the barn again! You're making my heart want donkeys! And it's great to see Wynonna looking so fine.

  7. He is adorable with a lot of personality but no more so than George and Alan. Asses are just plain cute :)

  8. Bernard is lovely. I met a donkey in the flesh for the first time this weekend. The sign on the fence said he bit, but he allowed me to scratch behind his ears and when I quit he followed me around the fence line looking for more of the same. Cute little dickens.

  13. Bernard is definitely a cutie, but George and Alan are still tops in my book!

    An irrigated pasture? .. WOW, that is living in paradise!

  14. Ooops ... meant to ask, where George and Alan that small when you got them?

  15. He's darling! And is that kind of a big tummy? He looks like he has a lush field to snack on.

    I love all your critters and the life you share.

  16. Bernard is sure cute, but I don't know about him being the cutest donkey. Click on my ID to see Apple Jack with my grandson, James:

  17. I so want a miniature donkey for a pet. I think donkeys and mules are the best. My husband is starting to get concerned about my reading of equine blogs, etc. I love the picture of George and Alan on your header. Bernard's pretty darn cute too.

  19. You are truly a burro/donkey whisperer. :)

    Your visit here was wonderful and has made such a positive difference in how I'm able to interact with Bernard. You'll be so proud of him when you come back for another visit. I am so grateful to you!

  21. Ok, I've always said that my sister's donkey, Luigi, has to be the cutest thing on earth. But between your guys and now Bernard...hmmm...I'm thinking it's a donkey thing!

  22. Oh, Bernard is absolutely beautiful. What a face...what personality. He's incredible. Someone mentioned that he's a mini, but is he?

  23. Ha ha! What a lovable little guy.

  24. So cute, Bernard is and so are all animals! Can hardly wait to meet Bernard in October when I am in town. So good that he can mingle with his new friends in the pasture!

  25. You are a donkey whisperer? We need you for our next President....

  26. Danni, I think Bernard is a standard. We measured him at 39"; standards are 40" - 48", and he'll probably grow another 2" - 4".

    Pat, Alan was about 42" at the withers when I got him, he's 44" now. George was 46", he's now 48".

  27. Ohh he is a cute, but not as cute as George & Alan (that little black face with those white around the eyes)but this guy is a sweetie. The one problem with your blog is there's not enough :)
