i went for the post this morning and have your cheque for 20 euros from val johnstone. thank you so much for thinking of us.
the 20 plus donkeys here eat hay all the time and also need bedding of straw and ecolit to keep them warm at night so we are always very grateful for any donations.
thank you for thinking of us at these difficult winter times for us. most of our donkeys have come into us after having been ill treated with long hooves or having gone through a meat market and luckily for them someone has bought them and sent them to us !
they all look very good now and you cant imagine the change that has occurred in both their mental and physical behaviour.
thank you very much for your generosity.

And also to Spiced Cuisine
val has very kindly forwarded your cheque for 10 euros towards our donkeys, this will buy us 4 small bales of hay and feed 4 of our donkeys for 2 nights, that is very kind of you to think of us.
we have 25 donkeys here and all they do is eat all day at the moment, they prefer to come in as it is a bit cold standing around outside,
all donations help us in our work here. all except for 3 of the donkeys/mules/ponies come from a bad background, either with long hooves or having been left in a field or one who was kept in a barn and the roof fell in on him, he is still very nervous as you can imagine. we have just had a donkey gelded as he had changed in character when two of our girls got out and stood beside his fence, before that he didnt even know about girls, only food. anyway he then started to get out by walking through the electric fence if there was a girl in season and then biting and attacking his best friend. he also bit me by mistake one day ! this operation together with the antibiotics costs 200 euros. he is just starting to calm down, thank goodness after 3 months he is starting to calm down and doesn't now call or take any notice of girls in season - just looks from afar which is what we want.

Val writes smiling, the trials and tribulations of our lives with these, our long eared friends. I have not been bitten since mine were babies and had just left their mothers at 6 months old. I was explaining to Lucy I would be her new Mum when she bit me on the breast. I staggered off saying I meant I would give you hay... and the impressive teeth marks stayed for about 3 weeks and I could not even bare my breast to show them off, except to Malc.!
