What we know


                         Mozart

Spending five days with the donkeys definitely was not a lifetime but we did get to know some of their traits and quirks. Mozart, for example, fancies himself a stallion and enjoyed being with his lady friends, Luna and Judith. Strictly platonic however!


                           Judith

Judith is a bit of a mischief maker. She likes to topple over buckets of water with her right front foot. She also got loose once while we were out of sight and went on a little walk-about to find greener pastures. 


                  Mozart and Luna

Luna is all business and made a great team with Brad. She is a leader for sure and knows how to put her nose to the grindstone. 


She can be a bit competitive though. She wants to be first to the water trough, first through the gate, and first to get fed. 

 
                    Team Mozart

Luna was happy to share the lead with Mozart though. Which was a good thing because guess who just has to be first while descending a hill? You guessed it. Amadeus Mozart. He basically transformed into a locomotive down the hills. And boy could he multi-task. You try stealing mouthfuls of grass while negotiating steep and slippery rocks. It's not easy!


But he was perfect for Nadia and Lucas to share. He never played favorites and loved it when they snuck him bits of human food. 


                      Team Judith

Judith was as sweet as sugar. Even though she liked to rub her head on your back when you came to a halt (almost knocking you over), it was just because she loved all of the scratches and loving she got all week. 

We sure will miss you Judith, Mozart, and Luna. Grazie Mille for the ride!
