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.
