So on Monday Sophie,our wonderful welfare officer and Canny,from the welfare team at Sidmouth came to visit George and Little Lad. 

Our boys are growing in confidence and definitely did us proud as they behaved impeccably. Little Lad showed Sophie how he responds to voice commands and both him and George enjoyed the attention from 2 extra females !

These 2 donkeys have such a close bond and are by each other’s side whenever there is general maintenance to be done. Little Lad likes to hold onto to Georges lead role at every opportunity…..just to keep him in check! 

Yesterday we reseeded an area of our paddock that is still slightly bare from the winter. We have a special mix for equine pasture and with it we are incorporating beneficial meadow herbs for donkeys. 

George as usual was very curious as to what was going on. I’m not sure if is was because I had the seed in a bucket similar to their feeding buckets or the smell of the seed but he would not leave me alone while I was doing it. It was a bit like a seen from “Britains got talent” with girl and her dancing dog. 😀 

It felt like he was trying to say ” hey let’s cut out the middle man here – I’ll just eat the seed straight from the bucket ” 

I know everyone thinks their animals are the cutest, but these two are just so funny and adorable! Life is good!
