Castanya (which means "Chestnut")
This is Castanya, which means "Chestnut". I do NOT own this donkey! She lives in a donkey sanctuary/park with 40+ other donkeys, and I am her sponsor, which means that I now pay 15€/month and can go visit her a few times a year. The other day I went to meet her for the first time. The thing is, Castanya grew up with minimal human contact and is now scared of humans and not very eager to be touched. This is okay; I chose her thinking that she'd be the least likely to get sponsored — also, I have had many cats and am not offended by creatures who need their personal space. I was able to pet her with the tips of my fingers, and also to pet some of her buddies, who were extremely snuggly. I am looking forward to visiting Castanya again!
