When the donkeys see us coming, Simon loudly, Fanny (left) and Lulu (right) bray softly, they greet you with their noses, sniffing carefully for applies or treats, sometimes they will turn away in disgust and disinterest, sometimes they will sidle over for some attention and scratching. Either way, it is their idea always, and on their terms, not yours. Donkeys are not dogs, they are not looking to please you, although they might decide to please you, just to keep things on an even keel.
