Soggy Donkey Weather

My donkey shift coincided with a thunderstorm - not great for donkeys or people.  But donkeys need fed and the stall needs cleaning.  The boys were in a funny mood which is probably down to the weather.  They are usually very affectionate but not today.

It was very refreshing to meet so many raindrops - shame they were just passing through to ensure all my clothes were soaked.

Home again and enjoying the joy of dry underwear and a dry t-shirt.  Trousers later - it doesn't do to rush.

And your Donkey Fact Of The Day.  Donkeys don't have the same kind of skin as horses.  Water will just run off a horse.  Donkeys can get soaked and their pelt will retain the water and they can suffer from hypothermia.  Not tonight though because it is really warm despite all that rain.
