Three Donkeys Make The Whole Farm Laugh ‪

Excuse me, excuse me. We're talking about this hasn't put it back where they belong. Yeah, I've got a funny feeling You might have something to do with it as well, Ronnie No, don't don't don't do it not bite the ears Steve no You are the best best best best little boy I have to have regular conversations with Steve and Ronnie about their antics every day and They would start to respond accordingly You know sometimes Ronnie People in life just let you down Ronnie puts his head on top of my head sometimes Steve likes to lick my face And I thought wow that that is strange. You know, it's a side of them I hadn't really seen before But when we first started at the sanctuary, I didn't know that they had such characters sometimes Steve And I'm talking to you. I Feel like you're not listening Steve's particular story was that he was used as entertainment at parties They would push him around and he would fall over and it was all they thought very funny So he was rescued from that situation and then came to Jacob's Ridge You are the best best best best little boy Ronnie's story was he was kept again as an entertainment donkey Ronnie we're just like no. No, no, no, no, don't start that business. Don't start that business the connection was built through talking to them about what was going on in my life and This one particular day. I was fixing a fence and the neighbor was really upset with me. So I Spoke to the donkeys and said look you gotta leave them alone Stay on the own on our sanctuary and then I realized they're very good listeners Don't do it Is this the urge to bite the hat Steve? Steve and Ronnie do get a bit jealous over me. Sometimes they'll start nipping at each other You know, you can go away and now you can go away So you create this almost like a feedback loop I get happy It makes them happy which makes me happy which makes them happy and it's just through that talking to them That connection has grown really Ron Ronnie, can we just can we just talk about this for a second Ron? I wouldn't want them to be anything other than Steve and Ronnie What they show me every day is that they are very very happy donkeys When we brought him home, I wasn't sure what to expect They have three totally different personalities We have Bo he's the strong protector and now Johnny. He's the baby of the group and George all he wants is love However, you'll never find one in the pasture and one in the backyard They're usually always together But in the beginning, I thought maybe we made a mistake We really really wanted donkeys and we were having a hard time finding any that need at home my husband ended up finding them online and We went and met them Right from the beginning. Bo Cephas was so sweet but Johnny was kicking and running away from us and I said are they bonded and the guy said yeah, they're bonded So I said, okay, we'll take them both even though we knew we might be getting more than we bargained for Morning boys When we would come outside and we would brush Bo and we would pet up Johnny would watch And it's almost like Bo would stand there like it's okay. We're home and Then slowly Johnny kind of walked up to me like it's my turn. I want whatever you're doing to him. Oh my goodness I think he's happy today About two years later. We found George and he needed a home and We figured why not? They're herd animals. I figured they would accept him So we brought George home They both kind of looked at him like what's going on? They ran away from him George used to eat alone. I Just started feeding them closer and closer and closer together but you would see George kind of separate it from them and Then it was the best day when I looked outside. I saw it was raining All three of them were standing under the tree together and I was like they're buddies now they did it The donkeys absolutely love spending time with my kids and myself All three of them can just be seen just soaking in the love that they get from us I Would say they're like the three musketeers It's really funny to watch them just enjoying their bond amongst each other They bring so much to our family. We love everything about them
