New foal in Marrakech

Tommy has a rival. “Peepo”, (Ye Gods, who thought that one up?) was born a month ago, to a Jenny donkey riddled with terminal cancer. Unlike Tommy, he was full term, but of course also with no mother, as she had to be put down out of her pain and misery.
But what a little star he is ! He tripped around all the guests, nuzzling in for as much fuss and attention as possible, before tripping over to the next group. There must have been a thousand photos and “Ah, isn’t he just adorable…….”.
Problem is, he lives with Tommy, no doubt a bad influence on him.

I met Peepo just last week. He's goin' to be naughty you just know it, but I do love the way he cheered up all the other patients! He headbutted my husband Richard as a greeting and did a couple of show off hand brake turns as an encore!
