{ Donkey Love }

Daisy & Pinnochio

Can you spoil donkey's?
{ me thinks you can...and terribly, too. }

Peter & I have succumbed to those big, brown eyes and soft muzzle-nuzzles...
their laughing guffaws and crazy antics performed while thinking no-one is watching.

How gentle the big Pinnochio is with Daisy,
but all at once reprimanding and reminding her that he is

The Boss...

Their leisurely days are filled with carrots, fresh air, sunshine and rain,
plenty of hay and molasses-laden oats and brushing...
oh, how they love to be brushed....
leaning heavily into you while you turn coarse fur into silk with each swipe.

Every morning,
when I set out to the barn to feed everyone,
there is the usual welcoming chorus of Baaa's, Bray's, Rooster Calls, Clucks & Quacks
(and whatever that noise is that Guinea Hens make)

greeting me with a round of
"Good Morning Mom!"

but by far, is the sweetest, excited little *squeak* that tiny Daisy makes
when she first sees me...

That, my friends,

is Love.

Hoping you all have someone to Love...
who Loves you back....
just for being You.

Peace & Plenty be Yours~
