10/04/08 More computer trouble

Just when we thought we were on top of things our computer has packed in completely. If anyone's got an old laptop lying around feel free to post it to us!!!!! We'd send a donkey courier but Pablo is busy with his eco-donkey work.

We are having to use internet cafes but we are of course still checking our emails regularly and adopting a donkey online is up and running as usual. We still aim to dispatch the adoption certificates within 24 hours and hopefully we'll be back online soon.

There's a new wallpaper of Connan on our wallpaper page and of course you can adopt Connan on our adopt a donkey page.

24/03/08 Apologies for lack of updates, normal service will shortly be resumed!

We have been rushed off our feet in the last few weeks with an incredible amount of rescue call outs. High winds, rain and storms caused damage in the sanctuary and we lost a large number of hay bales in the wet weather.

Thankfully the bad weather has now passed and Nerja is again bathed in warm sunshine which our donkeys and visitors out on holiday are appreciating. Mocarra and Petra are particularly pleased as they both like to sunbathe and they now have a nice new pen where they can sunbathe in peace and quiet away from those pesky baby donkeys.

01/03/08 Pablo our Eco Donkey

Pablo has been getting out and about on our environmentally friendly eco-donkey collection scheme. It's excellent exercise for our Pablo and our volunteers as they make regular collection trips down to one of Nerja's beautiful beaches.

Our ecodonkey collects leftover food and bread from the restaurants on the beach and returns them to the sanctuary where our rescued donkeys are eagerly awaiting the delivery. Anything our donkeys won't eat is recycled by our pot-bellied pigs. The final stage of this eco friendly scheme is completed when local farmers collect the manure and use it as fertiliser for their crops.

You can read more about our ecodonkeys in our Soltalk article.

29/02/08 New T-shirt design revealed here soon

23/02/08 Where is Pablo off to?

Story here and in www.soltalk.com magazine near you soon

19/02/08 New Donkey Desktop Wallpapers added

New wallpapers including Rambo taking a bath and Flash sticking his tongue out. Apologies for lack of updates. If anyone happens to work for Telefónica we need a phone line and internet!

05/02/08 New Donkey Rescued

He has been named El Capitan after the road on which he was walking around loose. Capitan was found early in the morning wandering on the road in Torre del Mar and our rescue team were soon alerted. On arrival at the donkey sanctuary he was placed immediately in isolation as with all new donkeys.

He is in his late twenties and has been poorly looked after. He was seen within an hour by our big animal vet and he is infested with skin mites so he will need to be washed for a minimum of 10 days. Here he is being checked over by one of the vets we use. In the photo Nico is checking to see if Capitan can chew properly as he has very few teeth.
