Dreaming of Donk-a-Poodles

The other morning, I had the sweetest dream!  I was stepping out the back door and into the yard and this sweet, precious, tiny baby donkey came running up to me out of nowhere!  It was gray (unlike my donkeys, who are brown) and fuzzy, about the size of a small puppy.  It had floppy ears like Winnie the Pooh's Eeyore, and curly gray hair on its head like a poodle.  It had long, black eyelashes and the cutest little soft black nose and a fat belly, just like a puppy would have with a tummy full of milk.  It was so excited to see me and seemed like it was just starving for attention.

I squealed with delight and bent down and picked it up in my arms and nuzzled it to my neck and it just licked me all over the face and wriggled all around.  I kept looking all around to see where in the world it might have come from and then Hubby came outside and saw it and he just looked at me with this round-eyed ohmygosh expression on his face and I said, "Go inside and get the camera, quick!"  He grabbed the camera and we started taking pictures of this sweet little creature.  We were just in awe that it was so tiny, yet obviously it was some sort of donkey and I begged and begged if I could please, please, please keep it!

It was running all around my feet and wagging it's tail and I picked it up again and cradled it in my arms, rubbing it's soft belly.  I noticed it had some thorns and stickers in it's belly fur, so I laid him down on his back and said, "Now you stay there!" and it did just as I said and laid there very still while I went inside to get some tweezers.  When I came back, he was still lying there patiently and I pulled the little stickers out of his fur and rubbed his tummy again and he seemed so happy.  Then I woke up. . .

Later that morning, I made sure I told Hubby my dream before I ate breakfast.  If you tell your dreams (and nightmares!) to someone before you eat, then they come true, you know! (wink wink)  I wanted this dream to come true for sure!  All day long I thought about that sweet little donk-a-poodle and the more I thought about him, the more I wanted him for my very own.  I sure hope my dream comes true!
