We spent the morning at the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary and I am hooked! The Nerja Donkey Sanctuary is run by volunteers dedicated to rescuing, caring for and protecting donkeys, mules and horses. And they happen to have a lot of dogs too. It is literally on the edge of town right above the beach so you can walk there. They have a pot belly pig, Henrietta, that I am obsessed with but my favorite are the goats. I love goats (and goat cheese incidentally). We took several of the dogs for walks and fed the animals carrots, stale bread, and grasses. They all have names and distinct personalities. There are the popular donkey’s in a clique, the donkey bully in a pen alone, the babies, and the old timers. One of the donkeys is 42 years old, which is some kind of record. Anyway, we plan to spend much more time with the donkeys. Here are some more pictures:
I MUST have that pig.
Um, Jennifer and I will be going to fisticuffs over that pig.
She is pretty awesome.
