Round One went to the donkeys. They began eating the backside of the barn. Round Two went to me. I sprayed deer repellent and they stopped eating the barn. Round Three went to them. The repellent wore off in a day or they got used to it and they started eating the barn again. Round Four begins when some special repellent spray designed for horses and donkeys arrives tomorrow. We shall see. They are not smarter than me, or more stubborn. They are not.
