Henry’s Hilarious Farm Nap!
Life on Boggs Funny Farm runs on equal parts chaos and comedy. Between the goats scaling anything taller than a fencepost, the pigs staging mud-wrestling tournaments, and the chickens acting like they own the place, there’s never a dull moment. But when the dust settles, one animal reigns supreme in the art of relaxation: Henry the donkey. And let me tell you—Henry’s naps are less “peaceful farm scene” and more “hilarious farm-wide event.”
It started one sunny afternoon when Henry decided he’d earned a break. The rest of us were mid-chores, hauling water buckets, stacking hay, and dodging chickens underfoot. Henry, meanwhile, flopped down smack-dab in the middle of the barnyard like he was auditioning for the role of “most dramatic sleeper.” His legs sprawled, his head lolled, and within seconds, his snores rumbled loud enough to drown out the tractor.
At first, I thought something was wrong. Donkeys don’t usually nap like they’re reenacting a fainting scene in a soap opera. But as soon as I leaned in, Henry let out a snort so powerful it sent a puff of dust flying—and then rolled over onto his back, hooves dangling in the air like a belly-up puppy.
That’s when the audience arrived. The goats perched along the fence, staring like they were watching live theater. The pigs waddled over and gave him a sniff, probably wondering if he was faking it. Even the chickens gathered around, clucking in outrage that Henry had claimed their dust bath spot. None of them dared interrupt him, though. When Henry naps, the farm falls under his sleepy rule.
But of course, farm naps never stay peaceful for long. A particularly bold rooster decided to strut across Henry’s belly like it was a stage. Henry didn’t budge—just twitched an ear and let out another snore, which startled the rooster so badly it launched three feet into the air. The goats nearly fell off the fence laughing.
Later that week, Henry upped the ante with what I now call “The Mid-Nap Meltdown.” He was snoozing in his usual dramatic sprawl when a piglet accidentally rolled into him. Instead of waking up gently, Henry sprang to his feet with a bray so loud it echoed across the county. The startled piglet squealed, the goats bolted, and I dropped the water bucket I was carrying. Then, as if nothing had happened, Henry calmly flopped back down and resumed snoring.
His naps have become such a spectacle that I started recording them for TikTok. One clip of Henry rolling onto his back, tongue lolling out, racked up millions of views. The comments section filled with people debating whether Henry was the world’s most relaxed donkey or simply a furry comedian pulling off slapstick routines in his sleep.
Now, Henry has turned his naps into an art form. He chooses the most inconvenient spots possible: blocking gates, lying across the feed path, or collapsing in front of the barn door like a four-legged security system. And no matter what’s happening—rainstorms, goats headbutting nearby, even me trying to haul hay over him—Henry naps on, a master of comedic timing and farmyard stubbornness.
Around here, the animals may cause chaos, but Henry steals the show with nothing more than a snore. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. Because on Boggs Funny Farm, even nap time turns into a laugh-out-loud adventure.
