Bob the donkey my wife's significant other is upset

Her significant other is bob he is a donkey bob loves my wife. When he sees my wife he brays hugs her her with his head I love you so much ,Bob has been temporarily staying with us for the last eight years. And as my wife was planting trees earlier Bob was trying to nibble on them and that caused argument I think they both need relationship counseling.

So now as I sit on back porch having a ice tea, my wife has left to go shopping with our one daughter. And bob has been put back in pasture and he is at the fence crying for the woman he loves.

Our daughter was married in the back yard at our farm - standing in the terraced flower gardens that are between the house and one of the pastures. Just as the ceremony was ending and the assembled guests started to clap, our donkey, who had been watching the ceremony from behind, joined in by braying loudly. It was a perfect celebration of his favorite human, and made everyone laugh.

They’ll be going to Japan for a belated honeymoon, so poor Orcas will have to stay at home with the horses. He used to have a llama for his best friend, but that old guy passed away a few years ago, so the donkey has to settle for hanging out with the horses now.

But no, no trip to Japan for him.

I’ll let him know that he’s not alone in this world - that Bob also can feel his pain. But I might wait until he’s done shedding out before I pass along that hug.

I just hope our Donkey cracks down and starts braying loudly.

Do you think we could borrow Bob to nudge the Democratic one? Do we have to get the board to get his attention?

I just realized, our donkey has no name! Suggestions anyone?
