The great big donkey with the fat tummy and face too broad for his body Filou, was very shy at first with me [not with Rosie of course!] to begin with. Both donkeys we are looking after are very timid and in their short lives have had numerous owners and some unkind treatment. Little Coco nicknamed by me Napoleon, will have nothing to do with me. Filou would let me stroke and scratch him and whisper in his large ears but always shyly turning his head away, just occasionally turning to sneak a peek at me. If he saw me looking at him directly he would turn away quickly. Just in the last few days persistance has paid off and he will let me stroke him and we can gaze into each others eyes. We are falling in love, I can feel it, he trusts me. At the moment the owner is away for 6 weeks visiting family in the Alsace region. There have been jokes that they have left the donkeys and gone... but I stress these are jokes!
Anyway would I care if I can win Filou over, my next objective is to work on Coco. I feel I am just the luckiest lady in town with all these pets. [ well, the heights of Mas del Sol]
Val says Malc does not like my " yukky" pet posts but I have readers who tell me they like those best. So like everything, read the bits you like.
