It hardly seems like a year has past before all the donkey weekers are meeting again and almost picking up conversations they were having with each other this time last year.

It's the first day of Donkey Week and I'm so excited. I'm normally the first donkey out on the Main Yard, but today I have to wait my turn to meet all the donkey weekers because me and my best friend, Lady, are having our feet trimmed.
Harness display and overseas work

I normally write these from a hotel room, in some far flung country, but, for most of April I've been here at the Sanctuary, at my under-used desk in the Overseas Department. Why? You may ask, well the answer is Donkey Week.

Fred has left a big hole in many hearts
By Jenifer Tucker - Posted on April 22nd, 2009
Sometimes even our staff get very upset when a donkey has to be put to sleep and it turned out to be a very difficult day for Alan Brown and his team over at Trow Farm when the decision was made to put Fred Snook, a very popular donkey, to sleep.
Devon sunshine and donkey walking
By Jenifer Tucker - Posted on April 22nd, 2009
Just the weather for walking donkeys! Today I was out taking photos of the 10 people who had come along to the Sanctuary on one of our Donkey carer days. It was lovely to meet such lovely people from all walks of life. While I was taking photos, I found out that some of them had been visiting the Sanctuary regularly for over 15 years, even though they lived great distances.
Flying donkeys
By Bill Tetlow - Posted on April 21st, 2009
Last week Pam Moon the Area Welfare Officer for Lancashire and Cumbria sent me this photo which she entitled "Flying Donkeys " which I thought was most appropriate. I am a camera nut and take hundreds of photos of donkeys ... how I wish I could claim to have taken this one!
