A sweet success

Juliette

The open day on 6th February was a great success. With a steady trickle of visitors, it was great to see Marleen doing what she does best…talking about donkeys! Her passion and caring approach to the donkeys in her charge is infectious and the visitors soon realise that there is more to these creatures than first meets the eye. I hear on the grapevine that a few more volunteers were recruited from the open day so that was great news.

Juliette was separated from the other donkeys as we currently have a rather amorous male who won’t take no for an answer…

With Juliette’s already damaged spine and hips, it is kinder on her to remove her from the situation when we might be otherwise distracted. Talking of which… Whilst we were distracted and busy talking to the visitors, the sound of broken pottery and falling teaspoons were heard. Never one to miss an opportunity, Juliette had helped herself to the sugar bowl and a few cups of coffee and tea dregs. Fortunately, the lovely plate of biscuits was just out of reach.

Mmmmm…..yum yum.
