Malc and I this morning popped in to check how Coco the donkey was settling in at Lez with his new owner Maxime and his first ever donkey friend Babouche. Do you know with all this animal rehoming you get ups and downs but also lots of laughs. Today we met Maxime's father, tall, fit chap and Maxime young, fit chap.
We asked how Coco was doing and they said no problems with Coco, they did play fight a bit but it was not vicious, it was ... horse play.
They had however taken both donkeys out for a walk yesterday which they described as "frightening"( God, have I had walks like that!) Apparently Coco is very docile but Babouche who previously only had a sheep as company is really enjoying company making him very excited. The men explained Babouche wanted to " galloper" with Maxime holding on for grim death. They decided that next walk Babouche needs to be lead donkey, he is obviously going to be the "chef"
Maxime wants to train the donkeys to pull together a chariot/ carriage which we saw in the
courtyard... Babouche has been trained to do it but I suspect hours of training now needed for the two.
We came away happy that all seems well.
