We sponsor Cargo (I love his wonky ear), but I'm assured he shares his hay with the other donkeys too. And randomly, here's a sighting of my favourite donkey ever. Ireland only got Google streetview this year and I nearly died when I zoomed in to view the field in Doolin this cheerful fella hangs out in and saw him standing cheekily there. He always seems to say hello to all the tourists and locals who pass through this tiny town and I love that he's looking right at the camera!

What a wonderful cause to contribute to ... Cargo is lovely indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place!
ReplyDeletePossibly, the cutest looking donkey I have ever seen. i love that you donate some of the money you earn from the blog to the sanctuary. What a nice idea.
ReplyDeletei LOVE this jane -- like, really, really love. and not to sound overly sappy, but the photo of cargo actually brought a little tear to my eye this monday morning. what a sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteAwwww. He really is looking right at the camera. How darling.
ReplyDeleteI am a Clare native and know of and love the Donkey Sanctuary too so kudos for supporting it and bringing attention to it. I will love visiting your blog even more now! I have a gra for donkeys (we had one when I was growing up) and I knew of their charm and wit long before Eddie Murphy popularized Shrek's best friend!
ReplyDeleteCargo is so sweet, and so is the Doolin donkey!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to give money to. Donkeys are so cute...and I honestly didn't know that so many would be in need of help like that. Thanks for the link to the site; I'm going to have to learn more about them.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea.
ReplyDeletewow so cool!
ReplyDeletethat is so great jane, we have a donkey here his name is Festus and he so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI just love that you do this! So wonderful. I enjoy visiting your blog every day, though I don't comment as often as I would like. That Google earth photo is one of the best I have ever seen. Thank you for all you do and a very Happy Holidays to you!
ReplyDeleteI love donkeys, they are so adorable and often so overworked. So glad you've done that Jane, what a lovely thought.
ReplyDeleteI donate to The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada too- they do such amazing work, and I heart donkeys so much! they seem so humble and noble all at the same time. I remember pulling over one time on a country road to pet a donkey in a field, and I happened to have some peanut butter cookies on me- that's when I learned donkeys love cookies!
ReplyDeleteOH, I love him. Looking at him makes me smile and cry at the same time. What a great cause.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great, a wonderful cause.
ReplyDeleteaw! i love his scruff hair and wonky ears too! i really admire and appreciate your support of animals :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much from all the donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada - and especially Cargo!
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, I sponsor Cargo as well, and his picture hangs in my office as I toil away at my dissertation on Beckett. Thanks again for sharing in what is undoubtedly a worthy cause!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the odds!? Thanks Anon!
