From the Farmyard: Donkey delights




I couldn’t resist posting these pictures of Rupert our young donkey with his mom Talulah and Bella the rescue donkey peeking from behind. Fully recovered from the indignity of his castration,
Rupert has taken to pushing his delightfully soft muzzle into one’s face on presentation of a carrot. (Well to be truthful, he only gets the carrot after being kissed on the nose). He also seems to enjoy having his fleshy lips sniggled thereby showing his square white pearlies. Tallulah his mom, isn’t sure about the kissing bit, though she likes the carrot, and Bella the once abused donkey, mostly only eats the carrot if you get on your haunches, stretch out your arm and look the other way. This is however quite good progress considering that when she first arrived, she ran away or kicked if you came within 20 metres.
