I came home from work yesterday to find a surprise in our mailbox.
The Boyz and Gracie were very interested in learning more about this surprise.
After all, the surprise was for them.
It was a very delicious surprise.
Incredible-smelling, yummy donkey treats from our wonderful friends at Casa de Cuckoo.
Can you believe how beautiful Gracie is?
She’s not shy, that one.
She’s definitely a knows what she wants and goes and gets it kind of girl.
Nigel and Gracie especially loved their treats.
Alright, who am I kidding? They all particularly loved them.
Thank you, dear Casa de Cuckoo friends. ♥

I particularly love the picture of the two noses…the fifth one.
Are donkey herds matriarchal?

Flartus,
Here’s what The Donkey Companion says about social order:
A well-defined pecking order exists within every herd of equines, large or small, and every newcomer has to earn a place in the group. Where an individual stands in the hierarchy depends on his or her age, sex, personality, aggressiveness toward other herd members, and in the case of mixed herds, his species. Unweaned foals assume their dam’s place in the order and often rank immediately below her after weaning.
I’ll have to do some more research.

Wow – they must have smelled delicious the way all those noses were gathered together. Loved the last pic where it looks like that one is smiling.

We do love us some donkey noses and whiskers…this is adorable. Gracie Belle is fitting in so perfectly, what a joy.
It was our pleasure to share the “Fur Queen & King Snackum’s, Kissy Fur Cookies” from Ms. Ady’s Etsy shop pomegrantie80. She loves MBF’s donkeys too.
But not as much as we do at Casa de Cuckoo. XOXO
