There a new TV show about donkey rescue it's called "Donkey King," a reality series following Ron King and his team at Oscar's Place Adoption Center & Sanctuary in California, airing Saturday mornings on ABC (in USA) as part of the Weekend Adventure block, focusing on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming donkeys. The 17-episode series premiered in early January 2026 and showcases the donkeys' personalities while educating viewers on animal welfare, with episodes available online after broadcast.

☘️
Allow this ancient lion to recommend a story from our own Kimmi titled
Fate of My Heart
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/love-stories/the-fate-of-my-heart
Not just a good story from Kimmi but a excellent redo of a classic short story from the 18th century,, "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton, published in 1882. This has
her fingerprints all thru as she brings this story into the 21st century.
Can I say more?
Yes, this is also Kimmi's 300th story here in Lush Stories.
Congratulations my friend well done indeed.
Raise a toast to you
Kimmi

Is death ever the less painful choice?

Pulled into Rumps parking
Seems quiet enough outside

Well the old irish saying is
"go luath a ardú
am is fearr a shocrú ar an gaiste béar!
which translates to
early to rise
best time to set the bear trap"

You whimpering reminds this ancient lion how after a spontaneous party "blows in" the true friends would stay and help with clean up. I knew you would pop in early this morning and since you missed out on the BBQ fun & football I placed a couple of racks of ribs in the cooler for you and Lady Jay.
