Donkey Sanctuary

Today we visited the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada.

 There were donkeys (which I didn't get a chance to photograph while we were inside the petting area because I had to keep Abi from running to the feeding animals).

 It was a cloudy but muggy day, so I don't imagine this shelter helped much.

 BTW, these are our friends. 

We learned a lot about these sweet animals.  They are very social and bonded in groups. At the sanctuary there are also mules and a few sheep and goats.  But it's not all about the donkeys.  The sanctuary is located on a lovely piece of land, so we walked a couple of the nature trails, through the forests, by the pond, and along the marsh.  There are educational signs along the way and there is much to see.

Finally headed back to the car...

And had a peaceful ride home.
