Our friends from Casa de Cuckoo were here for a visit on Sunday.
For all of us, their visit was like a big, happy therapy session.
Bernard was on his best behavior. Instead of his usual playful craziness, he was calm and sweet with GK:
As always, Ellsworth was a gentle soul:
Bernard loved GK’s ear rubs:
At first, the rest of the herd watched from the sidelines:
After seeing the benefits though, Buck decided to join the therapy session:
Before we knew it, GK was surrounded by many lovely donkeys:
GK’s smiles were priceless:
And, since we’re talking about donkeys and therapy sessions, I posted this video on Facebook. I’m posting it again here because it’s definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen it.

The hug is priceless, and I was surprised to see Buck volunteer ahead of the others.

How could you NOT want to be in a lineup with ear rubs?

Maybe Bernard was thinking if he behaved himself, GK might give him those totally rockin’ chicken boots.

Gosh, I sure hope Bernard’s not growing up and becoming a mature young donkey! 😉
I sort of met a donkey last weekend–there’s a cow pasture behind our neighborhood with a small beef herd and one lone jenny with Nigel’s coloring. She came over to sniff at my hand, but didn’t want anything more. I’ve got to bring some apple slices next time and see if I can build her trust–I’d like to be an ear-rub therapist, too!

At least Buck recognizes a good thing when he sees it. He’s certainly not backward at coming forward!

What a *great* day! I wish I could’ve met them, too! GK’s boots are absolutely adorable. She looks to me to be a bit of a donkey whisperer… seeing Buck so trusting and allowing himself to be loved on like that. Wow…

Just watched the video–love the quote about not being able to stop once you start. But 300! Oh my, Justina, how much land do you have? 😀
The very last donkey they show reminded me of fuzzy, sweet-eyed Patrick.
