It's snack time in the barn, and Seamus fills his droopy belly. 

Early afternoons are routine now, even if he hasn't quite figured out what all the fuss is.

After a bathroom break inside his barn, this five-month-old miniature donkey follows his friend Isla, the household dog, to the nearby back door of the house, and then inside.

Following a quick trip to the refrigerator, where he gets a few morsels of carrot to snack on, it's over to the living room for an afternoon nap on the rug.

"There's a reasoning for it," says his owner Dana Blackmore. "We're trying to acclimate him to indoor things. So you know that he sees doors open and close, he's very comfortable with people and children and other animals. And, I tell you, he's amazing."
