Donkeys are guard animals, the reason I got them in the first place at Bedlam Farm, to guard the sheep. Lulu is the most vigilant of our donkeys. Like Zelda, she is the watch animal in her flock. She is always scanning the horizon for intruders, predators, deer, coyotes, foxes. She senses animals, hunters, even geese in the air.  She is the quietest of the donkeys, the most standoffish, the least drawn to people, although she loves for Maria to brush her. She is awfully smart, the first to sense a purpose if we try and get them in the barn for the vet or the farrier. She is intuitive, she anticipates behavior, reads intentions.
