Mattie and Small Animals

It has been decided, Mattie does not like the smaller animals. The little goats got out and Mattie chased them down. The sheep got out and Mattie chased them down. He will chase down the cats also. I’m not sure what the deal is. When a donkey is raised around the smaller animals, they usually do well with them. I guess because the smaller animals have been in pens and not in the pasture with Mattie he finds them as a threat. I’m not sure how he will do with the goats in the pasture when he gets over there with the other donkeys. It makes me a little nervous. He does chase the chickens some, but not as much anymore. He hasn’t hurt any of them, yet.
