I am leaning towards a dog rather than a donkey because I already have  
my share of equines and I've never really been enamored of donkeys,  
plus, they can be so steenking noisy!  I love the Pyrs but hate the  
grooming, I just can't bear to let it set out full of knots and burrs,  
so I am thinking an Anatolian. I've also owned one, and really loved  
him.  I've only heard recently about the predilection for Pyrs to work  
in pairs, though, and I'd love to know more about if anybody wants to  
share what they know. I have never heard it of the Anatolians and I am  
wondering if the same might be true for them, whatever the reason is.

PS. Uh, honey if you're reading this......it's about getting another  
dog....  :  )
