PROGNOSTICATIONS OF THE WEATHER (from Robert
Merry's Museum, November 1844, pp. 154-159)
Asses.--When asses bray more
than ordinary, particularly if they shake their ears if
uneasy, it is said they predict rain, and particularly
showers. We have noticed, that, in showery weather, a
donkey, confined in a yard near the house, has brayed before
every shower, and generally some minutes before the rain has
fallen, as if some electrical influence, produced by the
concentrating power of the approaching rain-cloud, caused a
tickling in the windpipe of the animal, just before the
shower came up. Whatever this electric state of the air
preceding a shower may be, it seems to be the same that
causes in other animals some peculiar sensations,--which
makes the peacock squall the pintado call "come-back," and
which creates a variety of prognosticative motions in the
different species of the animal kingdom.
An expressive English adage says,
When the ass begins to bray,
Be sure we shall have rain that day.
We have, says the writer of the preceding, repeatedly been
able to give our hay-makers useful admonitions founded
solely on the braying of the ass. Thus the proverb says
truly,
'T is time to cock your hay and corn
When the old donkey blows his horn.

Companions.
Donkeys are a very social animal and can
form very strong bonds with fellow donkeys
or other animals. It is often best to keep
two donkeys as they entertain each other and
provide companionship. They can also
reinforce each other and get up to mischief. |

The rapid onset of composting will cause a build up of mould
and fungi that may kill or cause severe illness to a donkey
or horse. Do not feed moldy hay or any type of feed for the
same reasons.

A
number of anatomical differences between the horse and the
donkey can challenge the first-time donkey owner and their
veterinarian. Donkeys have an obscured jugular furrow (the
place where blood samples are taken or tranquilizers are
given).
The cutaneous coli muscle hides the middle third of the
jugular vein. (Burnham S. L. Anatomical Differences of the
Donkey and Mule In: Proceedings of the 48th Annual AAEP
Convention. 2002: 102-109}

Donkeys are commonly used by the
Iraqi military to launch rockets...seriously.

Donkeys should not be fed

to contribute to the build up of acid conditions in the feet

There is an “old folk remedy” for sarcoids using Crest
toothpaste. Apply Crest to the sarcoid with a toothbrush. It
is suggested that either something in Crest kills the virus
causing the sarcoid and/or the brushing stimulates the
horse’s immune system. Works for Ringworm too.
Hoof Care:
"Train the donkey to lift his legs for
hoof inspection by getting him comfortable with grooming.
Use your hands and a soft broom to stroke down the legs all
the way to the knee. With gentle praises, lift his leg
without enclosing his ankle in your hand and put it back
down."

The Al Qaeda-linked terrorists of

donkey

off
the advancing Lebanese troops.
Witnesses said Fatah al-Islam
militants
have booby-trapped
donkeys

in the

the
animals were shot and
