Latest news from your adoption donkey - Winter 22
Alicia is enjoying the first rainy days of the year (at last!). Among her new favourite pastimes is taking mud baths, especially when our grooms have just brushed her. Do you think she does this to be groomed twice as much?
Apache has taken to having brunch with friends. It doesn't matter if there are free feeders, he always prefers to go to where the rest of donkeys are in the paddock to share straw and hay.
Artemisa and Minnie have invented the perfect routine to keep warm in winter: in the mornings they run around the paddock together; at midday they love to lie in the sun and in the evenings they take shelter in the stable under the heat lamps.
Manolo turned 23 last October. To celebrate his special day we gave him a Kong filled with his favourite treats. He had a great time pushing his toy to get the pieces of carrot and apple that were inside. To top it all off we gave him a super relaxing brushing.
Paco has just moved to a new paddock. We have created a new space for all the mules to be together, who better to live with than one of your own kind? Since the move, he is even happier and spends his days doing what he likes best: trotting in company.
Toto watches Artemisa and Minnie's routines with amazement. From the point of view of a soft, long-haired donkey, he doesn't quite understand why he should go to so much trouble to keep warm - it's much better to take a leisurely stroll in the meadow!
