Heeeeere's REGGIE....

Obviously the first step in my journey with Reggie is to get him haltered.

Well the first time took well, time.  

When he first showed up on our place he had a rope noose around his neck which I finally was able to cut off.  His former experience was foremost in his mind.  

Here he is resisted the procedure.
 But here's what important, here he is:

 This is Reggie, a small standard donkey, also called a burro in many parts of the country.
 He is wearing his halter, so step one is so far so good.  Although the look on his face...

Not so sure about this stare...

 He is very aware of everything around the place and wasn't sure what I was doing with my iPhone taking his picture this morning.  I discovered that there is an old English proverb that states:  

If the first thing you hear in the morning is a donkey's bray, make a wish and it will come true. 

The way Reggie appeared here and changed my life already there is something to this.
