I would think that Miss Ellie is a welcome addition to the group there. So glad to read that she is now living in a santuary!!! Good news, Marty, thank you!

Her ears are wonderful! I once did a story on MAMMOTH donkeys for a magazine. They're really quite beautiful.

Miss Elle is absolutely amazing! I could easily have mistaken her for a horse, I must say! It is fine she is now in a sancturary ... in England where people love animals so much!

That is definitely a very large donkey! Thanks for expanding my understanding of donkeys.

I'm glad she's there with you. Please take good care of her.

The first word that came out of my mouth was WOW! She is a lovely girl though and certainly not a freak of nature. In my book the only freaks of nature of humans.

Thank you. I never heard of a mammoth donkey.

Friday August 10, 2012, 3:55 pm
I love donkeys. I have never seen one so big. Looks like they have a nice home at that sanctuary.

Noted, thanks.

that's ONE BIG ASS.... (sorry, had to do it.)

What a great story! Lucky Miss Ellie - she looks amazing. Thank you Marty.

New one.

She's a beauty~ and she's very fortunate to be at the Sanctuary.

she is beautiful

She is very beautiful but I hate seeing her exploited. A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey. She looks like a horse in body with a donkey head.

Miss Ellie is beautiful.. Wonderful story. Thx for sharing Marty.

She's big and beautiful.

Was there no place in the U.S. for "Miss Ellie"? Just curious why she was "imported" into a sanctuary, and if she will be used for breeding because she's "unique" or "unusual"?
