Just when you think things are settling down nicely (finally...) there comes a new stroppy episode, to make sure I don't forget that donkeys do have their own mind.
Of course, it always is my fault. I was just going out on the big field to bring them in for the night (i.e. back to the small field where they have access to a field shelter.
Mistake no.1: I forgot the treat bag.
Mistake no.2: a friend (= a stranger, kind of) came with me
Mistake no.3: it was getting rather dusky already
Mistake no.4: I forgot the treat bag, despite all of the above
So Luca decided he just would not let me catch him. And Henry would not go anywhere without Luca... And I almost got into a strop myself and let them spend the night in the field.
Then C rescued me with the treat bag full of carrots and suddenly Luca was perfectly happy to be caught, and so we all went off happily (?) on the way home.
