It is always fascinating to live with two of the oddest and most idiosyncractic breeds of animals to ever roam the earth. Border collies are almost always crazy in one way or another, and donkeys are even stranger. Each day, Red takes his position in the pasture, he doesn’t care if there are 10 feet of snow on the ground, rams in his face or donkeys blocking the path. Today, Lulu got it into her head to stand in the path, Red just walked under her and took up his position. Lulu could stomp Red if she wished, or easily kick him across the pasture,  but she doesn’t.

They trust one another.

I think she wants to work with him in some way, but I can’t really imagine what it is. I love the photo though, it speaks to the different agendas in the animals world.
