Rocky the BLM burro reports from the California State Fair

Hi folks, I want to tell you all about how it was with us BLM burros at the California State Fair! I had a good time except that I was stuck in a pen with two other longeared guys and only one gorgeous blue hair longear named Ashley. Sometimes Blare and me would get into it until Blare decided that he and Tiger would just hang out and leave my gal alone!

For the most part all of us hung out and saw a lot of two-legged critters. Some looked like miniatures of the bigger ones, but those minis were mostly pretty wiggly with fingers that smelled like edible candy, and boy howdy do I like candy! All in all it wasn’t bad because they talked a lot and petted us a lot more. Lots of them flashed lights at us from these weird looking little shiny boxes.

I tell ya though, after awhile, those flashing boxes fried my eyes more than once! I thought I was seeing double there for awhile until I realized that, yeah, Blare and Tiger really do look alike with all those stripes and all!

That reminds me! Ha, Ha!!! There was a “mini” one of us at the place right next door. He was all spotty like poor Winchester is! That little guy would really mess up a lot too because he wanted to be over with us bigguns and them little two legged critters leadin’ him would be dragged off over to us! It was fun to watch!

All in all, if we could of stayed at the California State Fair for longer, I would have been one happy-go-lucky guy! Hopefully we’ll see you again next year!
