Re: [pyrnet] Introducing a pony to pyrs

["Linda J. Anderson" <nightsky@direcway.com>]

Good question and one I'm about to face myself.  I will be getting a
young,miniature donkey in two weeks who will live in my fenced pasture with
the 13 chickens already there and my two pyrs -male 8 and female 12.  I plan
to introduce them both "on leash" and take it slow with lots of donkey and
dog walks.  Also, even though the dogs live out there, they have a large
kennel area w/dog door to get away - because I think what may happen is
being young, the donkey may chase them a bit, but it is all new to me too.
