A lot of people out here have mules and donkeys-mostly donkeys-for pets and self-propelled lawn ornaments. They are cute babies, but the grown ones are often ill tempered as a bad horse and downright dangerous.
A+ for you. Lots of people out here have the BLM burros on their land because they keep coyotes away. Muliebrity doesn’t necessarily mean froo-froo. I think you exhibit yours in taking care of others and being tender with them, whether it’s your child or your animals.
