We replaced "Spencer the Guard Mule" with a new Guard Donkey. We named him HeyZeus, and we call him Zeus for short. My step dad called him a Jesus Donkey or a Jerusalem donkey. I said "what is a Jesus Donkey". He then told me when Mary took Jesus back to Jerusalem on the beast of burden. It was a donkey. God blessed the pure bred donkey with a cross on his shoulders and a stripe down his back that you cannot breed out of them. All pure bred donkeys have it. On the dark donkeys you can't see the cross because they are dark. This is something that I was never taught in church but tell the story religiously now.
Here are some pictures of our newest addition. No animal will ever replace Spencer, but this Ol'Boy is actually more protective of the deer pen than Spencer. As soon as we unloaded him he went straight to the deer pen. I was a little nervous at this point. They had a brief introduction and the rest is history. My deer will actually play with him from inside the pen. I'm not kidding. Spencer was more of a pet, but this dude is serious about his deer. I waited a while before i posted pictures to see if he would work out or not. I wondered if he would take to the deer like Spencer did. He is not a pet but he's not mean either. He want let anyone near the pen but me without being between you and his deer. He has 14 acres to roam, but he want leave the outside of the acre and a half deer pen. Truly amazing animals that you don't have to teach to protect.
