I Met a Donkey on Christmas Eve! :-)

First of all, Merry Christmas, even if it's a little late. Concerning Christmas I have always been a friendly Grinch, but not totally averse to it either ;-)

Yesterday I planned to have a nice dinner, accompanied by a bottle of wine, and a good movie + some yummy treats for the furry gang. Neighbors then invited me for Christmas at their house, so I headed over there and spent Christmas Eve with them, their dogs, and a donkey :-)

They adopted a wild donkey and it is now 1 year old. I am not sure how long it has been with them, but it is tame and very friendly. She (it's a girl) was introduced to me and she sniffed my hand and seemed very interested in this new human at her family's house. She even came back a second time :-)

When I went back home later, my dogs were surely fascinated by the interesting scents I brought home ;-) :-)

Wild donkeys often pass by my property but they are very skittish and fear humans. I always talk to them and they know I am not going to harm them, but they still keep their distance. So, when I was able to pet that sweet donkey last night and just spend time with her, for me it was a beautiful experience. My Christmas surprise :-)

Merry Christmas, everyone :-)

What a great story. I think animals instinctively know if we are friendly or not. A fantastic memory for you.

Yes, they do, I also think so.

Very interesting, not knowing if this means anything. A very benevolent sign seems to be

I hadn't thought of it that way yet, but I think it's true, it could be a benevolent sign :-)

Merry Christmas, Christine!

Thank you, Mickey! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Fascinating. I wondered at times about getting a donkey or two, when we had llamas, but I think I'm past it now.

Donkeys are very smart and they are so cute, especially when they are young. As babies their fur is very soft, like teddybears. I love donkeys!
Llamas are beautiful animals, I met them when I was in Peru.

Wishing you a joyful holiday!

Best Wishes,
Lyn

Thank you, Lyn!
Happy Holidays!
