I’ve learnt a lot about donkeys since I
took on two rescues a few years ago. They are highly emotional and intelligent
creatures, of whom you need to earn their trust. Not such an easy job when
their previous lives had obviously been so traumatic. But little by little,
they come around. It’s an incredibly rewarding process.
Donkeys are very tidy creatures, they
toilet in the same area (separate spots for #1’s and #2’s) and love nothing
more than a good old dust bath, again in the same chosen spot. Ours have
adopted the sandy area over the top of our biocycle as their dirt bath area.
I’ve taken the following photos of Irwin
totally enjoying his bath last weekend. Sorry, they are so hard to see but it
was taken from a way away so as not to disturb him.
I do believe he is smiling…
