Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing

1 day ago

Our rescue dog, Busso, Mr B, Bob the Dog, Head of Security here at Minidonk HQ has hijacked this morning’s post by hijacking the MD’s lap! He obviously felt in need of an extra cuddle this morning and climbed up insisting on snuggles. Gordon, also a rescue, has done the same, claiming the Head of Poo’s lap for one of his less attractive cuddling angles. Nino, Head of no one know’s what, is, as usual, pretty much oblivious to what is going on. So, with all this love 💕 in the air, our thoughts are turning to Valentine’s Day. If you would like to spread a little love this Valentine’s Day, you have two weeks to let us know. You could sponsor one of our beautiful donkeys, for only £35 you get a whole year’s sponsorship, with a special Valentine gift card, sponsor shop certificate, profile of your sponsored donkey and 4 reports throughout the year, along with the opportunity to get up close to the Minidonks on any of our public visits (Covid guidance permitting). We are also going to be putting together goodie boxes, which can be sent as a Valentine gift to a care home of your choice, or to a loved one....... and there may be an exciting Maude development as well. More news to follow on these special opportunities in the next two days........
Have a look at the sponsor page of our website for details on how to sponsor, and don’t forget to put your romantic message in the notes area. We will be posting out Valentine sponsor packs until 5pm on Tuesday 9th February.

Thought I’d share with you a memory on mine and Sarah’s personal timelines from January 2018! We bought the boys home early Jan at 9 months old, and Sarah came to visit mid Jan for their first walk! We took them round our field on their headcollars and ropes for the first time and they were superstars ⭐️! The green is Alfie and black is Rubik. Can’t believe how little they were 🤗 ...

Serene Sunday wishes to you all. Today we are going to focus on Millie. Our little Millie was born on the 8th September 2018. She is Bo Peep's daughter and is showing the same sensitive and loving nature as her mum. She is a beautiful dark brown colour, with very little lighter colouring. She is much smaller than the others, even though she still has a bit if growing to do, she will probably always be a micro-minidonk! She especially loves Hollie, our apprentice and she will happily go upstairs in a lift if Hollie is handling her. Here are some recent pictures of our special little Millie on the yard.
Happy Sunday! ... See MoreSee Less

Just wanted to dedicate today’s post to the MD’s parents, both of whom lived with dementia. They are the inspiration behind Miniature Donkeys for Well-being. We lost mum in April 2017 and Ian in January 2020

Thank you 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Taaaa raaaaa toot toot 🎺 trumpet fanfares.....
Yes, we are blowing our own trumpet this morning. We received a beautiful thank you card yesterday, for our very own Linda White from The lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk. So today, our post goes out to Linda, and as we do with our donkey identification posts, here is a little bit about Linda!
Linda is the kindest, most generous and creative person. She drives us all hard when she has a new idea for Minidonk fundraising! She makes us all raise our game. She is brave, taking on the responsibility of leading Minidonk visits, learning to drive our precious donk-mobile and always ensuring that everything us done to the best of everyone’s ability. She loves all animals, especially her own gorgeous dogs and the donks. Gordon, Nino and Busso all love it when Linda comes to visit as she is often to be found with snacks in her pockets. Can you guess if Linda has a favourite donkey? ... See MoreSee Less
