A warm coat, even if a bit shaggy, was needed on another very chilly day and this critter looks as forlorn and disgusted about more cold winter days as I do.
Shaggy Coat
This donkey sure reminds me of Eeyore with his head down and the ‘woe is me’ look. The Winnie-the-Pooh books has Eeyore portrayed as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, old grey stuffed donkey and usually expects misfortune to happen to him, accepts it when it does and rarely even tries to prevent it. His catchphrases are “Thanks for noticin’ me” and “Ohhh-kayyy”.
I wonder if this donkey said “Thanks for noticin’ me” when I stopped to take its picture. Probably said leave me alone!
Depressed Donkey
This donkey might also be keeping an eye on the weather and the approaching storm. The snow probably wouldn’t bother the donkey since it has its winter coat, but the freezing rain is a different story. But like all storms, the weather forecasters never agree where and how much – at least not until the storm is over. The donkey is probably just as accurate predicting and it doesn’t have a happy face – but then do donkeys ever have a happy face?
