We were just sitting on our condo's balcony enjoying some of our Super U loot, a nice Colombard/Sauvignon Blanc, when 2 sassy young donkeys went ambling down the frontage road right in front of Kontiki and Wai. Maybe they have dinner reservations at the Village tonight. ![wink wink](/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) PS. My husband just let me know he got pictures. I'll see if I can post one. They were cute fellows. They are braying in the distance now.

There is no sanctuary. Their owner was murdered several years ago and they have been roaming ever since.

Obviously not to make light of the sad circumstance of their origin, we can add pizza thief to their list of characteristics. A parade of donkeys showed up at Orange Fever right next to us yesterday. They are obviously very used to people giving them treats. They were kinda getting pushy and a guy thought to lure them away with, yes, a slice of pizza. It didn't work as anyone who knows equines when it comes to treats, they have an excellent memory. They came back and I don't know if they left him any pizza. I've never actually seen a donkey eat pizza. ![laugh laugh](/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

I'm sure it was funny to watch, but I don't think that was a good idea. Donkeys should not eat pizza, and they will get to be pests if people feed them.

KitKat, yes. I believe it. We are seeing them all over. There was one munching on something directly behind Maison Mere near the pétanque pitch last night. We did not approach it and it seemed perfectly calm just munching away. The island is pretty lush with greenry and even grass in places but I am guessing the easy pickings from tourists and maybe even trash might be bringing them even closer in. I am sure island donkeys have tougher stomachs than our quarter horses did but I still can't believe a lot of the stuff they might be getting is good for them.
