Adoption Cookie by Simone Hoekstra

Hi Donkey friends, I am Simone Hoekstra. I volunteered at the donkey sanctuary during the month October of 2008. The donkeys are adorable. I loved every minute of it and miss them every day. I met so many sweet volunteers who care a lot for the donkeys. I fell in love with a very fuzzy baby with very big ears. Her name is Cookie. She is so sweet! I hope she will grow up good and healthy and will become very old in this donkey paradise... Love Simone.
