Diva Donkeys at a donkey rescue in Ohio cannot stop looking at themselves in the mirror.  Well, they are pretty and they know it.

The donkey sanctuary is run by a husband and wife team and I love the name, Jackass Junction.  We have a donkey on our farm in Clover, South Carolina named Penelope and she is an angel.  Our Penelope is as sweet and cuddly as our dog Winnie.  But I digress, let's get back to these diva donkeys that cannot stop looking at themselves in the mirror.

Dawn and Dean Fagan own the 67 acres donkey rescue and they recently put up a mirror in their barn for the animals.  Well, who would have guessed they just could not stop looking .  They would even push each other out of the way to get a better look at themselves.  This is just adorable. My horse Journey is so mean that if I put up a mirror in our barn she would probably kick at her reflection:)  Let's just say she is anti social.

At least one of the donkeys is already a social media star.  I am talking about their first rescue named Mr Donkers. Donkeys can be so sweet and precious.  But the purpose of most of them (that you see in pastures around here) is to keep the horses safe from predators.  If a coyote got in the pasture you would see a different side of them.  They are good protectors.
