Have a long and happy life Mr. G and Jellybean!

14. i though of that story when I fisrt saw this thread !!

great story. : )
-
-
A separate elephant story.
-
Lota. Many may have heard of her. For those that want the end of the Lota story, she finally had a few months at a sanctuary.

For some final video of Lota (with Misty as star)

-

Lota backstory ( after the Ziggy story) : http://www.elephants.com/lota/LotaMistyMedia.php

I remember protesting about the treatment of Lota. It was about 10 degrees outside . Bob Barker, Kevin Nealon (and Kay, a normal type person) and about 100 of us. And Bob Barker without a hat !! To no avail though. O well.

8. hmmmm

I sort of remember a pbs story where a goat was such good friends with a donkey that, after the donkey went blind, the goat would take him ( lead him) out into the woods to eat. The end , as are many things. bitter sweet.
-
I could be wrong on it being a donkey and goat. Might have been goat and dog, or dog and goat. Or similar.

15. I remember that one but can't remember the animals either. Here's another one. Pony & pig.

[valerief]

16. I think this is it. Horse and goat.

And here's another--elephant and sheep.

[Leme]

17. Yeah, I think I watched

animal odd couples Nature pbs

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Here's another: Tortoise and hippo!

23. Wow! Now, that's freaky--but cool, too! nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. awwwwwwww!

that was sweet! thanks

[UtahLib]

9. Sweet story, brought tears to my eyes. nt

[marzipanni]

11. So good to see them together again!

Mr. G looked so sad huddled in his stall.

[heaven05]

12. I can't stop watching this

animals really are the only creatures I feel joy at being around. 5 cats and 1 pointer-setter mix breed give me happiness in life. took care of a feral colony for years. When I lost my home I found sanctuaries and farms for them. They all are still doing well.

[BrotherIvan]

30. What a wonderful thing to do

When tragedy struck, you still thought of your loved ones. You are a hero! Anyone who shows that much love and devotion is very special.

[NightWatcher]

13. (madly banging out screenplay...) Get me Disney on the phone!!!

Now to get a couple of voice actors for the goat and burro....

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. I'll do Mr. G's voice!

I do a great goat imitation. Sheep too. And I can do a little bit of Donkey.

[toby jo]

20. oh geez. Now that's just sweet.

I had 2 mares who used to graze muzzle to muzzle. One day my ex came over and stole the one, an ex-racehorse. The other mare just stood in that field with her head down and looking off, for days and days. God but it was sad. I finally got her back after a few months, and on they go, inseparable still.

22. K&R

Animal stories with happy endings are the only way to go. Thanks for posting.

31. I have a ewe

who thinks she's a horse; she's been with my mares since she was weaned, and 6 years later, she doesn't know any better.
