Today has been the day we've waited for all week....the miniature donkey show at the Tehama County Fairgrounds in Red Bluff! Chris, the world's biggest burro fan, and I got up bright and early this morning, zoomed over to the farmers market, inhaled some breakfast and beat feet to Red Bluff to be first in line to cuddle and pet all the burros. It was a real donkey show, like a dog show, where trainers/owners were dressed in ridiculous rhinestone costumes and pranced the tiny donkeys around the arena for the judge to inspect. CrAZy. Outside of the (covered) arena was where the action was. The burros were waiting in the wings with their trainers waiting for their class to be called so we could walk right up and accost them with photos and hands. The owners were all very nice and one of them even gave us the reins to "Charlie":
Charlie liked us, you could tell. He kept sniffing at my purse, I think he wanted a piece of gum. Gotta look sharp for the judges!
Chris with his three new best friends.
Please, Mr. Burro, please don't bite me.
We managed to make it out of there without buying any of the numerous burros for sale, though not for lack of trying.
