These are our rescue donkeys . . . . . . . .
Bumble and Dylan . . . . . . . .
(and behind the fence, our horse Whiskers . . . . . . . . . . . . . .)
We foster Bumble and Dylan from the Donkey sanctuary in Devon . . . .
They have lived with us for 12 years . . . . . . . . . .
They are getting old now and are both in their late 30's . . . . .

Dylans legs are a strange shape. . . . . . . . . . . . . . but are still working well!!
On Sunday I put the horse ball in the field for them, it has nuts inside . .

The idea is . . . . . . that the ball lets out a few donkey treats . . . .
Each time they push the ball. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I have never given the donkeys the ball before . . . . . .
They are frightend of buckets or anything that drags across the floor.
Goodness knows what has happened to them in the past. . . . . . .

Well now look at that . . . . . . . . . . . .
I would have bet money on Dylan donkey working it out first. . . . . . . . . . .
He's the one with the brains, and he is more thoughtful . . . . . .
But each time I pushed it Dylan told me . . . . . . he was going to die!!!!

It was Bumble who worked it out . . . . . . . . . . . .

He is the quiet, more loving one . . . . . . . .

It was wonderful to see him work it out . . . . . . . .

And it made me smile when I could hear the sound of the ball . . . .
Delivering donkey treats. . . . . . all afternoon!!!!!
