jOhn are you sure you want to adopt a donkey? Don't forget they can be very cute & cuddly when little, but the terrible two's jOhn, think of that!!! Those screaming tantrums in the middle of the supermarket, the stamping of all four feet on the floor, the disgusted looks you get from passers-by which make you feel like the most inadequate parent in the world. Then there's the hassle of choosing a school. Which school in Hull is top of the league table in the the sort of specialist education that donkeys require? Can you afford the bus fares to said school? But the worst of all is the teenage years, the staying out late, not knowing where they are or what they're up to. The peer pressures they face, what happens if he gets with the wrong crowd, those psycho donkeys you see hanging around the town, sniffing oats & snorting worm tablets? What about when you can't communicate, when all you get is a grunt & the only time he voluntarily brays at you is when he's after money. Then there's university fees, top-up fees for donkey's are set to be the highest in the country & you want the best for him because you are a loving parent, then half way through his university course he changes his mind, drops out & goes to india to find his Karma then comes back & tells you he's fallen in love with a llama....think about all this very carefully jOhn, a donkey is for life.
