Hello! Welcome to My Pet And Me.

-I'm Ferne.

-And I'm Rory.

0:00:040:00:06

-We've just been walking D'Artagnan here.

-Isn't he gorgeous?

0:00:060:00:10

We like to make sure that all the animals get plenty of fresh air and

0:00:100:00:14

-exercise.

-And lots of water, too.

-Yes, very important.

0:00:140:00:17

Lots of animals make excellent pets, and we love meeting you and yours.

0:00:170:00:21

And, on that note, I'm off to meet some new friends now.

You can come too if you like.

0:00:250:00:27

-Bye, guys.

-Bye.

0:00:270:00:28

0:01:100:01:13

Today, I'm just outside Leeds

0:01:180:01:20

to meet Darcy and a very special donkey.

0:01:200:01:23

Come on, let's go say hello.

0:01:230:01:25

Hello. You must be Darcy.

0:01:380:01:40

-Yeah.

-And you must be Mum.

-Hello, Ferne.

0:01:400:01:43

And who is this?

0:01:430:01:44

That's William D.

0:01:440:01:46

Oh, hello, William D.

0:01:460:01:47

He's a beautiful donkey.

0:01:470:01:49

Lovely to meet you.

0:01:490:01:51

-And what's your favourite thing about William D?

-Brushing him.

0:01:510:01:55

Brushing him. Why do you like brushing him?

0:01:550:01:58

-He's so soft.

-He is very, very soft.

0:01:580:02:01

I love big cuddles.

0:02:010:02:03

Super-cuddly donkey!

0:02:050:02:07

I see lots of other donkeys.

0:02:080:02:10

Yes. It's a donkey centre.

0:02:100:02:12

A donkey centre?

0:02:120:02:14

A donkey centre, or sanctuary, is a place where donkeys come if they

0:02:140:02:18

don't have a home any more or if they haven't been looked after very

0:02:180:02:22

-well. So how often do you come to the visit William D?

-Once a month.

0:02:220:02:26

-That is great. And you help to look after him, don't you?

-Yeah.

0:02:260:02:31

He's gorgeous. I love him.

0:02:310:02:33

And what are these big things?

0:02:330:02:35

His ears.

0:02:350:02:37

-They are massive, aren't they?

-Yeah.

0:02:370:02:40

Sometimes donkeys spread out very far away from each other, but they

0:02:400:02:44

can always hear the other donkeys by using their nice big ears.

0:02:440:02:48

-It's very clever.

-Yes.

0:02:480:02:50

Donkeys love company and often they have other donkey best friends.

0:02:500:02:54

-Does William D have a best friend?

-Yes. Tinker.

-Tinker.

0:02:540:02:58

Oh, this is Tinker, here.

0:02:580:03:00

-Hello, Tinker.

-He is lovely.

0:03:000:03:03

-And are you William D's friend, too?

-Yes.

-That is great.

0:03:030:03:07

Donkeys are very gentle animals that make special friendships with

0:03:070:03:11

people as well as other donkeys. Rory, can you tell us some facts

0:03:110:03:15

about donkeys like William D here?

0:03:150:03:17

Of course, Ferne.

0:03:170:03:19

A male donkey is called a Jack,

0:03:240:03:27

a female donkey is called a Jenny,

0:03:270:03:30

and a baby donkey is called a foal.

0:03:300:03:32

They are very social animals and usually like to live in

0:03:370:03:40

a group called a herd.

0:03:400:03:42

All donkeys make a sound called a bray,

0:03:460:03:49

and this is how they communicate with each other.

0:03:490:03:52

Donkeys are very strong and they are often used to help pull

0:03:550:03:58

or carry heavy things.

0:03:580:04:00

William D is one of many donkeys here at the sanctuary,

0:04:130:04:16

and each and every one of them need lots of love and care.

0:04:160:04:20

Darcy, what do you do to help look after William D?

0:04:200:04:23

-Brush him.

-OK.

0:04:230:04:25

And why do we need to brush him so much?

0:04:250:04:27

-He'll get messy.

-Does he get a bit dirty?

-Yeah.

0:04:270:04:31

-And brushing helps to get the dirt out?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:04:310:04:35

-Well, should I hand you a brush and we can start?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:04:350:04:39

So, if you brush him along there...

0:04:390:04:41

This is great.

0:04:410:04:42

-We have to make him nice and fluffy.

-Nice and fluffy.

0:04:420:04:46

Brushing is also good for a donkey's skin, and it helps

0:04:460:04:49

keep their coat nice and shiny. Do you like brushing William D?

0:04:490:04:53

He has to be nice and shiny.

0:04:530:04:55

He likes that. Don't you?

0:04:570:05:00

He definitely does.

0:05:000:05:02

I can see patches of brown on his white coat.

0:05:020:05:04

-Can you tell me what that's called?

-Skewbald.

0:05:040:05:07

That's right, it's called skewbald. There are lots of different

0:05:070:05:11

coloured donkeys here. We have some skewbald ones, we've got

0:05:110:05:15

chestnut brown, we've got white and we've got grey. There's lots!

0:05:150:05:19

Well, I think we're done brushing. What else do we need to do to

0:05:190:05:23

-look after William D?

-Check his hooves.

0:05:230:05:26

Yes, that's really important.

0:05:260:05:28

How's that looking, Darcy?

0:05:300:05:32

Good.

0:05:320:05:33

There we go.

0:05:350:05:37

-Very mucky, Ferne!

-Yeah.

0:05:370:05:39

Well done, William D.

0:05:390:05:41

Darcy, what else do we need to do?

0:05:410:05:43

-Drinking water.

-That's right. We need to get him some water.

0:05:430:05:47

-Should we go?

-Yeah.

0:05:470:05:49

-Right. There's good, isn't it?

-Yes. Let's put it on.

0:05:540:05:58

And turn it off.

0:06:020:06:03

Go!

0:06:080:06:09

Here you go, William D.

0:06:110:06:13

So William D has been munching on straw all morning,

0:06:150:06:18

he's got lots of yummy grass to graze on

0:06:180:06:20

and now he's got some water.

0:06:200:06:22

But one more thing, Darcy, where does he sleep?

0:06:220:06:25

-Come on, I'll show you.

-OK. Come on.

0:06:250:06:28

He sleeps here.

0:06:340:06:36

Sometimes he sleeps here, in this grassy paddock?

0:06:360:06:39

What a lucky donkey! Come on.

0:06:390:06:41

He sleeps here.

0:06:440:06:45

He sleeps here as well?

0:06:450:06:47

In this sandy bit?

0:06:470:06:49

I bet he rolls around in here too.

0:06:490:06:51

Let's go this way.

0:06:510:06:53

OK. Come on, come on.

0:06:530:06:54

And he sleeps here.

0:06:560:06:58

He sleeps here too? Wow!

0:06:580:07:00

Lots of places for him to choose from.

0:07:000:07:02

-And there's lots of shelter for him.

-Yes.

0:07:020:07:05

It's very important that donkeys have access to shelter

0:07:050:07:08

in case it's cold and wet outside. One last question, Darcy -

0:07:080:07:12

-what do we need to do?

-Wash our hands.

0:07:120:07:14

It's important to exercise your pet, and William D is lucky because

0:07:220:07:26

there's a huge field here for him to walk around.

0:07:260:07:29

But what else can we do to make sure he gets exercise?

0:07:290:07:33

-Ride him.

-That's a great idea.

0:07:330:07:35

What do we have to say to get William D to walk?

0:07:350:07:38

-Walk on.

-OK. Walk on, William D.

0:07:380:07:40

Darcy, what other commands does William D know?

0:07:510:07:55

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

0:07:550:07:57

-That means to stop, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

0:07:570:07:59

Donkeys have very wide backs so they need their own special saddles and

0:07:590:08:03

bridles if you want to ride them.

0:08:030:08:05

-William D has a blue one.

-Yes.

-How do we get him to move again?

0:08:050:08:09

Say walk on.

0:08:090:08:10

Walk on, William D.

0:08:100:08:12

Good boy. He's great!

0:08:140:08:16

Yes.

0:08:160:08:17

Donkeys have very good memories and they often remember places

0:08:210:08:25

that they've been before.

0:08:250:08:27

Do you think William D remembers this walk?

0:08:270:08:30

Yes.

0:08:300:08:31

You are one smart donkey, William D.

0:08:310:08:33

-I had a lovely time out on our donkey ride. Did you?

-Yeah.

0:08:420:08:47

It's fantastic that William D can remember all the places he's been.

0:08:470:08:51

If William D could do absolutely anything, what would he do?

0:08:510:08:56

If William D could do anything

0:09:010:09:06

he'd make a cake.

0:09:060:09:08

First, he would wash his hooves...

0:09:090:09:14

and put on an apron.

0:09:140:09:19

He'd make lovely carrot cake -

0:09:190:09:23

his favourite -

0:09:230:09:25

and help with the washing up.

0:09:250:09:29

Myself and Darcy have a big secret to tell you.

0:09:370:09:40

Come here! Come here!

0:09:400:09:42

What's the secret?

0:09:420:09:44

-It's William D's birthday.

-Yeah.

0:09:440:09:47

It's William D's birthday so, to celebrate,

0:09:470:09:50

-we're going to have a surprise party for him. Aren't we?

-Yeah.

0:09:500:09:54

-But shhh!

-Shhh!

0:09:540:09:56

-It's a big secret.

-Big secret.

0:09:560:09:58

-Shall we get ready?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

0:09:580:10:01

I'm going to check your tummy.

0:10:050:10:07

Donkey tummy!

0:10:070:10:08

And what about your tail?

0:10:080:10:11

-Tail.

-Looks good.

0:10:110:10:13

Can't forget your...

0:10:130:10:15

Ears!

0:10:150:10:16

Yeah. Here we go.

0:10:160:10:18

Party, party! Ee-aw!

0:10:200:10:22

Ee-aw!

0:10:220:10:23

Let's go decorate.

0:10:230:10:25

Come on.

0:10:250:10:26

Let's fix the balloons on.

0:10:260:10:28

-How's it looking?

-Good.

-Yeah?

0:10:280:10:31

What do you think? Hmmm...

0:10:360:10:38

Come on, Ferne.

0:10:380:10:40

Come on!

0:10:430:10:44

FERNE SIGHS

0:10:460:10:47

Good.

0:10:480:10:49

Happy birthday!

0:10:500:10:52

CHEERING

0:10:520:10:53

This is a special donkey cake that the sanctuary made, and it's

0:10:540:10:59

got high-fibre chaff, some pony nuts and their favourite biscuits on top.

0:10:590:11:04

It's going to be yummy.

0:11:040:11:05

-Hi, Billy.

-Hi, Billy.

0:11:080:11:10

Welcome to the party.

0:11:100:11:13

Hi, Tinker.

0:11:130:11:15

Hi, Cloud.

0:11:150:11:16

Welcome to the party.

0:11:160:11:18

Wow! This looks great!

0:11:180:11:20

-We are definitely ready for a donkey party, aren't we?

-Yes.

0:11:200:11:24

But who are we missing?

0:11:240:11:26

-William D!

-The birthday boy! Shall we call him in?

-Yeah.

0:11:260:11:31

Come on, William D!

0:11:310:11:32

There he comes.

0:11:330:11:35

-Surprise!

-Surprise!

0:11:350:11:38

Here's your cake. Enjoy it.

0:11:380:11:41

We hope you like your party.

0:11:410:11:43

-Shall we leave them to enjoy their cake?

-Yeah.

0:11:430:11:46

-Yeah, OK. Have fun!

-Have fun!

0:11:460:11:48

I think they're having fun.

0:11:540:11:57

They're eating the hay.

0:11:570:11:59

Yeah, they're eating everything.

0:11:590:12:01

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!

0:12:010:12:03

I think Cloud's coming to say thank you.

0:12:040:12:07

Thanks for coming!

0:12:070:12:10

Good job. High five.

0:12:100:12:11

This has been such a great donkey party.

0:12:140:12:17

I've had a really fun day.

0:12:170:12:19

Thank you very much for inviting me.

0:12:190:12:21

You're welcome.

0:12:210:12:22

Ooh!

0:12:240:12:25

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, Ferne.

0:12:340:12:36

Hiya, Hector.

0:12:360:12:38

-How was your day?

-Oh, it was fantastic.

0:12:380:12:40

-I had a great time with my friends. It was really fun.

-Great.

0:12:400:12:44

I've been catching up on some cuddle time with Hector.

0:12:440:12:47

I can see that. He's loving it. Pets are great but, remember,

0:12:470:12:51

you shouldn't touch an animal unless the owner says it's OK first.

0:12:510:12:55

Two pets you CAN play with though are ours - go to the CBeebies

0:12:550:12:58

website and play the My Pet And Me game.

0:12:580:13:01

What a fantastic time we've had. We just love meeting you and your pets.
