His impressively loud brays aren’t the only way Arturo communicates. For example if he wants to let me know the watering tubs are frozen or empty he knows how to say that silently and quite specifically: first he stares at me until I give him eye contact. Then he looks briefly at the thing that needs attention, pointing with his eyes and ears. Then he looks back at me to see if I got the message. He repeats this as needed until I start to move in a way that shows I got the memo. #asstodon #blep

A gray and white donkey standing in front of a watering bucket. His tongue is sticking out ever so slightly because he just had a drink and is holding some of the water in his mouth. He’s making eye contact.

@impermanen_

I noticed our dog Stella doing this eye-pointing thing too!

My hand is resting on the outside of my left leg. She is very clearly eye-pointing at it indicating she needs “more love now please!”

I had never noticed it before.
