This is April. She is a year and a half old miniature donkey who is a lover. I bought her from a place that offered kids parties and had a petting zoo which she was a part of. From the very beginning she adored any attention given to her and would throw herself quite literally into it and still does. :) She will place her head into your arms and expect you to hold the whole weight of her head up. And if you are to sit down she will insist she's a lap donkey. If you are to pay attention to anyone else she will literally force herself in between you and whoever you are loving on. And if that doesn't work she'll be sure and give you a firm nudge. I am starting to teach her tricks such as smiling and kisses and she loves to put things in her mouth so I'm sure picking up objects won't be too much of a problem. Just getting her to give them up might! ;)
Her best quality: She's a love bug and you can do about anything with her as long as your touching her.
Her worst quality: She's extremely jealous and can become pushy.
Her likes: Hugs, kisses, rubs...really any kind of body contact. She's like your childhood favorite teddy bear.
Her dislikes: Being ignored, and when you pay attention to someone else but her. Also flyspray.
April is a sweetheart but don't be fooled as she will fearlessly shoo of coyotes and deer if need be. :) She is extremely smart and is an eager learner therefore I have hopes she will make a great little trick donkey. The story I have for April is about her interest in playing with things. One day Merrylegs had gotten off his grazing muzzle and guess who found it? But not only did she find it, she picked it up and proceeded to shake it about as if to say, "Look, he lost this!". Now getting her to give it up is another story, but I now know I can count on her to hunt it down whenever he loses it!
