Malc and I were out in the field clearing away a horrid barbed wire fence, watched by all the donkeys. If we are out there they want to be with us, which is not the easiest thing when dealing with barbed wire, having curious donkeys about.
My two girls as always come and nuzzle up to me and Malc and demand to be scratched, but guess who came up to me of his own accord. Filou the big chap with the wide face was sitting down but he got up and walked toward me and laid his head on my shoulder. I knew I had won him over the other day when we did some serious eye contact stroking.
I am having little success with Coco who still stands away from the others and backs up if approached. He has suffered this little guy in his former life and it is going to be a long time before he trusts again but I do not give up easily.
Took me awhile with Malc but after 48 years I am getting somewhere at last!!
