This morning my brother sent me an email with the subject line “Instead of a Dog.” Inside, there was a link to a post on his local Craigslist. For these guys:
They’re described as “Miniature Miniature Donkeys Very Small.” The listing doesn’t say exactly how small a miniature miniature donkey is, but I’d like to think they’re about the size of a fox terrier.

We had a little miniature donkey come to the teaching hospital when I was in vet school. Her name was Jewel, and her student was Michael. You better believe there were all kinds of jokes about Michael’s little ass. It was a Jewel of an ass, and it was so cute! Except one morning his ass looked a little droopy…you get the idea. Endless fun for tired vet students.
You TOTALLY need a miniature donkey.
Agreed, except I would have said it like this:
You totally NEED a miniature donkey.
