GREAT response too!I was ground driving Shadow in the park today and a man told me, “We use to raise miniature horses and they were worse than middle school boys!”
Another man told me “I thought that was a Great Dane.” Of course I replied, “well he is GREAT!”
I was walking Shadow in the park today when a man asked me, ”what kind of dog is that?”
My response, “A chihuahua!”
Thanks for the idea JFMN!
” LOL
I have had that comment many times. Dapper Dan's ears are quite petite, so I never understood how he could be mistaken for a donkey. And the questioners were not making fun, either. Mind boggling.That's so funny! A woman I know was driving her mini on the trail and also had someone (who was riding a horse so you'd think they'd know better) ask if he was a donkey too! Granted he is a silver dapple so sort of the right coloring but the ears are not quite there.
Really a donkey?I walked by this lady in the park today and she said, “Awe! You are so lucky you get to walk a horse! All I get to walk is a darn dog
Then a man driving by sees me and slams on his brakes. He comes to a screeching stop, rolls down his window and yells, “Is that a donkey?”
Reminds me of when I was a teen living in Elk City, Idaho. A family visiting from the East Coast stopped me while I was riding along the neighbor's Angus breeding pasture. They wanted me to get a picture of them with the "herd of buffalo." That was the first time my mind was boggled, trying to find a diplomatic way to say "those are cows not buffalo."I walked by this lady in the park today and she said, “Awe!

I finally just blurted it out. Fortunately, it was early in the year and I knew a local elk herd would be calving soon in that field. So I could at least offer them the olive branch of "be here just before sun up the rest of your vacation and you might see baby elk."
I never did hear how they explained away the shoes. We left as they were saying something about "big, ugly head with loose lips and huge floppy ears...anyone would have made the same mistake...."
Oh, I'm sure she was talking about you bothI was walking Stormy in the park when a lady came riding by on her bike. She yelled, “What a beautiful girl!” Since I was the only girl around I said, “thanks!”
Wait?? What? Oh? Was she talking about my gelding?
Oh, My! To be a fly on the wall for the rest of that conversation.In that same area, it invariably happens every year or two during hunting season that someone mistakes a mule for a deer/moose/elk. The last one I saw, they'd attached their moose tag to the pastern of a government branded, shoe wearing U.S. Forest Service draft mule. They were SO proud when they pulled up to the inspection station.
I’m still laughing!
