Borgey the donkey
This is L.V. (Beauregard) Cole.
You name a donkey after his former handler or owner.
We call him Borgey.
Borgey was the first pasture animal on our little farm.
My daughter wanted a horse. We found Borgey for $65.
I told her that if she proved she could take care of an animal,
I would buy her a horse. (More about that later)
Borgey is the smartest and most honest animal on the farm.
We have seen him kill snakes in the pond and attack dog packs for chasing the horses.
He is the best investment I ever made. He has a home for life, mine or his.
By the way, Borgey is now pushing 30 years young.
