Fashion !!! It’s not often the donkeys and zena Fashion !!! It’s not often the donkeys and zena get to wear their jackets . Usually it’s just if we have heavy rain in cold weather … but as it dropped to 0 degrees the past few nights with a wind chill I thought I had reason to slip them on . I couldn’t resist the fashion show when I brought them breakfast in the morning . Lily looked a bit worse for the water with her bottom on show ! And we have a special guest appearance at the end ! Look out for sweet Lucy ! #donkeysofinstagram #poniesofinstagram #catsofinstagram #fashion #cold #hvarisland #starigradhvar
Darling sweet Paca . When ever I’m doing jobs in Darling sweet Paca . When ever I’m doing jobs in the field she’s my first volunteer to help.

Ear rubs ! ❤️ Donkeys love to have their ears Ear rubs ! ❤️ Donkeys love to have their ears rubbed and cleaned 🧼. Here I am having some special time with beautiful Juliette . She’s a quiet donkey but is always watching and observing . She has 2 daughters, Paca and Matilda . I’m not sure if her exact age maybe 6 or 7 but I was told she was very young ( too young) when she had her first daughter Paca . Now it’s time for her to have sone well deserved ‘ me’ time #donkeysofinstagram #rescueanimals #donkeylove #relaxing #hvarisland
Hay delivery! We are wonder women ! My dear friend Hay delivery! We are wonder women ! My dear friends Raffaella and Cindy working so hard today with me to move 200 bales of hay and also lovely lena who helped roll the 10 bales of hay first thing .

We worked hard all day to get the hay undercover and there’s still more to do ! #wonderwoman #girlpower #haybales #farmlife #islandlife #bootcamp #hvarisland #donkeysofinstagram

It breaks my heart to do this post . It has taken It breaks my heart to do this post . It has taken me 2 months to be able to write that we had to say an unexpected goodbye to our dear Romeo at the end of august , He was only around 6 years old and was unexpectedly taken from us with what we think was colic . No words can describe our loss. Romeo was the sweetest most gentle boy who we will never forget . Rest in peace my love . You are forever in our hearts and thank you for the beautiful times you gave us in this earth ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #donkeysofinstagram #loveanimals #rescueisbest #hvarisland

Yipeee!!! We all love to run in the woods . Exerci Yipeee!!! We all love to run in the woods . Exercise is so important for all humans and animals. It makes us so sad to see people who have animals and keep them caged and tied up . Why? Why? Why ? Don’t say you don’t have time . Make the time ! My days are very busy indeed but nothing gives me so much pleasure as taking care of these beautiful creatures # loveanimals #Hvarisland #naturewalk #rescueisbest #adoptdontshop #donkeysofinstagram #poniesofinstagram
Hay hay hay hay 😹 it takes a lot of dedication Hay hay hay hay 😹 it takes a lot of dedication to look after animals . Especially when you have no money . This is where my money goes . This is why you never see me in a restaurant or a bar sipping cocktails or going in holiday..I don’t actually miss those things . I cook very simply at home and treat myself to a gin and tonic or a beer now and then . One is enough because I get up early every morning 😹and need to function. There’s no day off , no time to be sick and no one to help . occasionally I have a bit if a melt down but pull myself together. I do this all on my own . I count my blessings, my life is full of gold really #workingwithanimals #farmlife #rescue animals #hvarisland #simplelife #livingbasic
