As Mary came out the bathroom the door to her bedroom was open and the Jackass husband was gone. Quickly she dashed out the room and headed down stairs. The muffled sounds from the dining room made her realize he was having a lunch with her many flowers and plants.
As the lights came on Richard stood there with the purple flowers of Mary's prize African Violets getting chewed by the teeth of a Jackass.
She took one step toward the beast and stopped suddenly.
"Oh yuck!" moaned Mary as he bare right foot stepped into a still warm soft heep of manure.
Richard swallowed the Violet he was chewing to give her a thought.
"HEE HAWWWWW !" exclaimed Richard now proud of his leavings.
Mary now really angered hopped on one foot through the kitchen and out the sliding glass door to the rear deck. A happy Jackass followed as his sense of smell suggested a larger amount of food was outside.
The garden hose soon had Mary's foot cleaned of the yuck'o she stepped in back at the dining room. A quick check to see if the gate leading from the backyard to the driveway was closed and locked, then she left her Husband to graze his heart away.
Three hours of cleaning her house and even the rank scent of Donkey manure was at last gone. The rising Sun made her again think of what to do with Richard now that he was an animal.
Plopping down with the book of spells and a bowl of Special'K' cereal Mary began reading and making notes. Her first and foremost plan was if possible to make Richard into something easier kept at home.
She rationalized that the virile stud fees of a Jackass or even a horse would be based on their blood lines. So, there was no way for her to title Richard's blood lines as anything other that wild and rank.
Yet she did have a plan since her one friend Rachel worked at the local office of the A.K.C.
Then her thought of the region's only Alaskan Malmute Stud being put out of business by the state. Now the closest place to buy a Malmute was Texas. She decided if to keep her costs down and profits the highest she'd make her husband bark a different tune.
The book open Mary jumped up to check on the grazing beast out back. As Richard was loose to graze wildly his body was growing in size.
Seeing the increased size and mass as maybe a problem Mary rushed to the book and with a deep breath began her spell.
"WAIT !" came a voice from nowhere.
Mary stopped her spell and looked around.
"HEED MY CALL, WAIT, YOU ARE NOT YET WORTHY OF BINDING SUCH A CURSE!" said the booming voice.
"Who are you?" asked a scared Mary.
"Dynatuur is my name, a ward of the most unholy would be my title! You unlike that husband of yours are not deemed worthy of the book. You must kneel and swear and oath to the Master before using the book less it's power and spells be limited in scope and time!" demanded the spirit Dynatuur.
Mary slammed the book shut and standing up looking around she pronounced, "I'll not swear an oath! Your damned book made my husband a virile Jackass!"
Laughing Dynatuur replies, "No, no your Husband has long since begged the Master to become a Donkey or pony animal. The Master and his entire realm stood by and watched the fool man do foolish things. Now he has found his desired way of life and will if given to lust become the most sex driven Jackass ever born!"
"I want no Jackass for my Husband!" yelled Mary.
Laughing even harder Dynaturr says, "You did enjoy your night of wonderful sex, did you not? The enjoyment is not without some cost, I suggest you check your mirror!"
Suddenly scared for what she'd done with Richard as knowing he was changing but still felt the sex she had longed to enjoy, now ran upstairs to the bathroom mirror and a truth.
"No, no, this isn't right!" screamed Mary as she looked at her reflection.
Tears welled up at the sight of her soft pink skin had discolored and was fast looking as feeling like the tough hide of a Jenny Ass. Worse yet was the sprout coarse hairs and the spreading of her nostrils. A wiggle of her lips suggested they too would merge and make a mealy muzzel in short time to come.
A turn to the side saw her sprouting tail and the enlarged buttocks more the form of those on a Jenny Ass than a human.
"Kneel and swear or learn to be at the side of your husband either to graze or in harness!" warned Dynatuur.
Choking back tears Mary dropped to one knee and with hands folded made her vows. As her eyes opened and she looked again into the mirror she was herself yet looking mybe ten years younger.
Before another word came from Dynatuur she ran downstairs and opened the book to the exact right page.
Reading the spell she used her husbands name and the resulting form he was even now till from outside the back door came a friendly loving sound, "Woff and Bow Wow!" it had worked!
