The Animals II

Here's Jolly - the best dog ever. Jolly with Marleen when she moved from Holland to Spain to start Donkey Paradise. She is the softest most love-able dog ever (Sorry Pirate/Skipper). Her absolute favorite thing is to have her belly rubbed. If she sees you coming, she'll immediately roll on her back. Renee is a sucker for this, and doesn't stand a chance resisting. (Also, Jolly has a few extra pounds and sometimes gets stuck upside down if she rolls over on bumpy ground)

On the other hand is Morro - who is the dumbest dog I have ever met. When Donkey Paradise adopted him from Animales de Oriente, he had such mangled fur that they just shaved it all off. So now, despite being 5 years old, he looks like a puppy. We don't know his history, but he's really stubborn, refuses to listen, doesn't stop barking, extremely temperamental, and we need to keep him separated from Arvo at all times or else he attacks Arvo. This seals the deal on his intelligence, because Arvo is a Sheep Dog at least 5x Morro's weight. His breed was created to be tall, very large, and have a thick layer of fat around their neck so that they had the ability to *defend sheep against wolves*. That's a picture of Morro using the couch to wipe his ass. He does that a lot.

I like Arvo. He's probly my favorite dog - very calm, tall, noble, and has a protective nature. He's also refrained from eating Morro, both time's Morro attacked.

I think Donkeys have a good sense of Humour. This guy was being bad, and trying to reach over the wall, and sneak in some Alfalpha before dinner. He also tried to eat the cat.
