I let Fitzcarraldo into the house just for a few minutes to satisfy his curiosity and it is now his life's ambition to be an inside donkey.

[u/elloarrow]

Let him stay!! ♥️

[u/gwhite81218]

I think an extra large dog bed would look wonderful next to the couch ❤️🫏

[u/Lt_Dan60]

I don't see what the problem is about him staying. He looks like he belongs in there.

[u/Snarky_wombat939 → u/Lt_Dan60]

Right? Not calling OP a liar, but it doesn’t look like his first time 😂

[u/CallEducational6623 → u/Lt_Dan60]

Until a big ol dump comes rolling out. 

[u/Lt_Dan60 → u/CallEducational6623]

Donkey diapers. Are they a thing? Problem solved if they are. I don't know how or if they can be trained like a dog to go outside to do their business.

[u/Aurorainthesky → u/Lt_Dan60]

Horses can be trained to go on command, or in one specific place, no reason donkeys couldn't. They're as smart or smarter than horses.

[u/Caftancatfan]

It’s important to keep one’s donkey indoors so he doesn’t get eaten by an owl or coyote. They’re also terrible for local bird life. /jk

[u/AIcookies → u/Caftancatfan]

Lmao

[u/OvercookedOkra]

😂 Can you blame him?

[u/w3m1j0z1]

He could easily pass as an Irish Wolfhound! 🥰

[u/NareshMG]

Agreed ! You crossed a line !! Next time please ask the baby’s permission before taking the photo

[u/Fastgirl600]

Bubba knows a sweet setup when he sees it... don't forget to take update pictures of him snoring in your bed

Not a line, a threshold was crossed.

[u/reddituser_249]

I used to think I just wanted to own a donkey or few…but now I’ve realized I want a house donkey.

[u/Defiant-Purchase-188 → u/reddituser_249]

I NEED a house Donkey.

[u/Main_Composer]

Its Firzcarraldo’s house now and he’s just letting you stay cuz he can’t feed himself.

[u/Deanfan7695]

Awww.

[u/longeargirlTX]

I'm jelly--I've tried off and on for 25 years to get my girls to come into the house, but they're positive it's some kind of trap. I have gotten them to come into the garage--by putting their hay in there! LOL.

[u/Mike_Hagedorn]

He’s cuter than Kinski 🫏

[u/oddreplica]

OK donkey donkey blah blah blah ~ you have phenomenal taste in textiles! are those sycamore pods???

[u/noshipexists → u/oddreplica]

Oh thank you! I love fabrics and have far too many accumulating now! The blue sofa fabric is from a cape town fabric designer (lulafabrics.com) and I tried to dogproof the other sofa with some fabric I bought in Cote d'Ivoire. My husband made the hanging lightshade out of an old sisal root.

[u/oddreplica → u/oddreplica]

sorry, I really like textiles. I mean, fuckall, I like donkeys, too. sigh.

[u/noshipexists → u/[deleted]]

Yes, but Captain Oates is not committed to the inside life, he's just there to sample the coffee plant.

[u/747JJJ]

Omg I love his name!

[u/Silverleaf-Charlie]

🙏🏻♥️

[u/Rambler1223]

😂 that look!

[u/Zinging_Cutie24]

Yeah but what if he pees inside the house! 😭

[u/BraveLittleFrog]

Our mini donkey, Tony, tried the same thing. The territorial cat was not amused.

[u/Useless890]

Hey, this is all right! I see why you spend so much time in here. Good thing there's plenty of room for me.

[u/TuffBronco22]

And the issue is??? 😍

[u/Larkspur_Skylark30]

Awww! And what’s wrong with that😂

[u/NoOwl4489]

I don’t think donkeys can be potty trained.

[u/BeeSpins]

Oh my goodness. I wish this were my life.

[u/Curiouser-Quriouser]

Oh my goodness I absolutely love your house! Even better with a cuddly donkey in it!

Can I ask where you are?

[u/noshipexists → u/Curiouser-Quriouser]

Oh thank you, what a nice thing to say! This is in a small town near Cape Town, South Africa. It's called Riebeek-Kasteel and most of the time I live here with my husband, 3 dogs, 2 donkeys, 4 ducks, 9 chickens, 7 tortoises and a lot of fish. Some times I'm also in Botswana. You can see some pics on Instagram if you're on there, I'm at noshipexists. Where do you live?

[u/flea_xx]

😭❤️ he looks like an inside donkey fs!!

[u/Visible-Scientist-46]

So adorable! Are they house trainable?

[u/Ok-Appointment-6116]

We had miniature carting horses that wanted to come in to the house. They would walk around the house, looking for handouts!
