This is Little Ben, our donkey. He has been invited to 3 different manger scenes this Christmas season. They do not just want him to visit, they want him to be part of the scene. He has declined all 3 offers, but said "Thank-You" to each of them. He does not travel well. He does not lead and will push a little, but not all that well. He will not load on a trailer at all. When he arrived here from Virginia last year, as a Christmas gift for my husband, getting him into the pasture was a major deal. It took Gerald and myself 20 minutes just to get him out of trailer and across the country road and into the pasture. Gerald was doing about 90% of the work and barking out directions at me on how to do the other 10%. At the time it was not funny, but looking back, it does seem funny now. Anyway, I ramble, Ben does not travel from our pasture. He appreciates the invitations, but just does not want to be part a Christmas pageant. I am not even sure what religion he is. He is a great donkey though. Gotta love him.
