NO STOPPING THESE DONKEYS WHO LINE UP OUTSIDE FOR DAILY CUDDLE TIME<br />WITH PIX AND VID<br />By Shuk Yee Tsang<br />These adorable miniature donkeys have won over the internet by patiently queuing outside for their daily cuddles.<br />The videos were filmed by Ainslie Maher at her hobby farm in Sydney, Australia, where the donkeys live a life of affection, treats, and brushings.<br />Her farm is home to three playful donkeys with celebrity pun names: Christian D’eeyore and LL Mule J, both one-year-old male American micro miniature Mediterranean donkeys, and Jenny from the Block, a one-year-old female American miniature <br />Mediterranean donkey who’s slightly larger than the boys.<br />Ainslie said “These donkeys are honestly like dogs. They’re so affectionate and playful. Being brushed is their love language. They actually line up for cuddles.<br />“He doesn’t realise his size! He’ll try to climb right on top of you for a hug like a lap dog.<br />“They all absolutely love cuddles. They line up to get brushed and hugged.<br />“I had given them a treat and let them into the front yard overnight, which they’re normally not allowed in.<br />“The next morning, I woke up to them staring at me through the window. It was freezing, and I didn’t want to get out of bed, but there they were looking adorable and definitely trying to guilt me into getting them more hay.<br />“They definitely know how to get what they want. They stare at you with these starving eyes, even with a whole paddock full of grass behind them.<br />“I’ve only had them for just under a year, but they’ve already had so many cuddles. They’re irresistible.<br />“People love seeing the videos. I think it’s the combination of their big personalities, tiny size, and how much they act like dogs.<br />“No horror stories—just LL Mule J nearly flattening me with his excitement!<br />“Truly the most affectionate animals I’ve ever come across.”<br />END
