Primrose and Alice at retirement home Città del Sole
Posted on 29 July 2016.On a warm summer morning, donkeys Alice and Primrose were led by Barbara and Bicio to the Retirement Home “Casa del Sole” in Dorzano.
When we arrived we found dozens of residents outside the building in their wheelchairs, waiting for us with nurses. But they were not alone: a local summer school had known that we had planned a trip with the donkeys, so they joined us as well!
Alice and Primrose are two lovely donkeys, shy to start with but more confident as time goes by, and they won plenty of hearts – both of the residents who spent a lot of time cuddling them, and the children who had the chance to learn, try some grooming and walked the donkeys around the green meadow at the entrance of the retirement home.
It was a wonderful day for all.
It was our second time at Città del Sole: last year we went there with Bluto.
