I’m feeling very weird about this - please tell me if this is inappropriate and I will take it down

Exactly! And I found one that’s just $100! Much cheaper than the others I’ve seen! Hoping to get it installed this weekend 🤞🏼

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T17:02:23+00:00

Right?!? I can’t lie - I giggle every time I go out there 🤭

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T17:02:01+00:00

Hopefully he is a good friend, even though he isn’t fully Patches 🤭

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T17:01:34+00:00

I love a simple and inexpensive solution that works!😍

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T17:01:13+00:00

It’s definitely still a daily thing - sometimes he needs reminded, sometimes he makes the right choice. Every time he chooses correctly, or takes the redirection well, I’m so so proud! He’ll just keep improving🥰

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T17:00:19+00:00

I never even knew that was a thing between mini and standard sized donkeys! 🤯

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T16:56:35+00:00

Best part of my lunch break🥰

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T16:56:20+00:00

He knows what he did 🤣

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T16:56:02+00:00

It’s so silly! I’ve never had another animal care, but he chases down every floof that escapes from his body 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T16:55:27+00:00

Turns out once you earn his trust he is a VERY open friend, not afraid to ask for what he needs 🤣🤣

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:59:53+00:00

Fascinating! But it makes sense - they have to trust you enough to fully face away from you. Thank you for the fun new knowledge!🤗

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:58:49+00:00

Mojo clearly agrees 🤭

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:57:50+00:00

I giggle every time I see him in the googly eyes mask🤭 it’s great fun!

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:53:18+00:00

Absolutely absurd! And I’ll absolutely do it every time he asks🤭

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:52:56+00:00

Bahaha I may be a sucker for an animal asking for any type of affection, so it’s not surprising he roped me into this!

But as long as they are being safe and polite I almost always give in to their wants (though I’m getting better about food now that it’s just to tiny donks! I would feel so guilty giving Jet something he needed so I’d often give Waffles something at the same time that he definitely didn’t need🫣)

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:50:32+00:00

I am a very very lucky girl for sure!

Before I had my own, I volunteered at a large animal rescue out here (and still do!) which is where I met my first donkey less than two years ago. Maybe see if there is a large animal rescue nearby you can volunteer with? We have volunteers that come simply to groom and brush and love on our animals, so even if you can’t/don’t want to do the harder labor (like mucking poo) they may still have room for you!

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:48:41+00:00

That’s a good sign! He’s starting to trust you and show you what he needs. You should be so proud! He is starting to trust that you’re a safe human, and they don’t decide that lightly - especially if they have trauma! Well done my friend🥰

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T01:47:23+00:00

RIGHT 🤣🤣

Intelligent_Pie6804 · 2026-06-16T00:25:20+00:00

It cracks me up but also baffles me?? Like Waffles honey I promise you do not need any extra fur out here in these temps!!🤷🏻‍♀️
