Some animals make really brilliant pets and we love pets.

We really like meeting you and your pets.

0:00:080:00:10

What happened to your arm?

0:00:100:00:12

I hurt it! But it's OK, this cast is helping.

0:00:120:00:15

But I'm off on an adventure to meet some new friends.

0:00:150:00:18

I'll tell you all about it later.

0:00:180:00:20

0:01:020:01:04

Today we're in Canterbury to meet Ashley and her pets.

0:01:100:01:13

I can't wait to see what they are!

0:01:130:01:15

Would you like to come with me? Let's go!

0:01:150:01:18

-Hi, Ashley.

-Hi.

-Hi, Fearne.

0:01:210:01:23

Hi. Who are these?

0:01:230:01:26

-Bill and Ben.

-Bill and Ben?

0:01:260:01:27

-They're donkeys, aren't they?

-Yes.

-Hello!

0:01:270:01:30

They're beautiful. Which one's Bill and which one's Ben?

0:01:300:01:34

That one's Bill and that one's Ben.

0:01:340:01:36

And how can you tell the difference between Bill and Ben?

0:01:360:01:40

-Because Ben's lighter than Bill.

-And what's their colouring called?

0:01:400:01:44

-Skewbald.

-Skewbald! That's a funny name, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:01:440:01:49

And whose donkeys are they?

0:01:490:01:51

-My friend's.

-And you just look after them?

-Yes.

0:01:510:01:56

Ashley is really lucky, because even if you don't have a pet

0:01:560:01:59

of your own, it can be great fun to help out with a friend's.

0:01:590:02:03

So, Ashley, what age are Ben and Bill?

0:02:030:02:06

Ben's five and Bill's seven.

0:02:060:02:08

-So they're still quite young, aren't they?

-Yes.

0:02:080:02:11

Some donkeys can live up to 40 years old.

0:02:110:02:15

-They kind of look a little bit like horses, don't they?

-Yeah.

0:02:150:02:18

What's the difference between donkeys and horses?

0:02:180:02:22

-Donkeys have longer ears than horses.

-They do.

0:02:220:02:26

And their tails are different and are a bit shorter than horses.

0:02:260:02:30

They are a little bit smaller, aren't they?

0:02:300:02:33

So what's your favourite thing about Ben and Bill?

0:02:330:02:36

When they run round and round the fields

0:02:360:02:39

and when they're really friendly.

0:02:390:02:41

They are really friendly, aren't they?

0:02:410:02:44

Ben and Bill are such wonderful donkeys.

0:02:440:02:46

Rory, can you tell us some fun facts about our long-faced friends?

0:02:460:02:51

Of course, Fearne.

0:02:510:02:52

One.

0:02:520:02:54

Female donkeys are known as Jennies and males are called Jacks.

0:02:540:02:59

Two. Donkeys have hairs around their mouths to help them

0:03:010:03:05

feel where things are.

0:03:050:03:07

A bit like a cat's whiskers.

0:03:070:03:09

Three.

0:03:090:03:11

The ee-aw noise is called a bray.

0:03:110:03:13

It's really loud so they can call to each other from a long way away.

0:03:130:03:18

BRAYING

0:03:180:03:21

Like all pets, donkeys need lots of looking after.

0:03:270:03:30

So what do we have to do to look after Ben and Bill?

0:03:300:03:34

-Muck out their stables.

-And is this their stable here?

-Yes.

0:03:340:03:37

OK, come on.

0:03:370:03:39

Right. What do we do first?

0:03:400:03:43

-You have to get all the poo out of the stable.

-OK.

0:03:430:03:46

-Right. That's all the poo.

-What do we do next?

0:03:520:03:55

-Get all the dirty straw out.

-Let's go.

0:03:550:03:58

Wow!

0:04:050:04:06

What do we do now?

0:04:100:04:12

Put some new straw in it.

0:04:120:04:14

We put the donkeys in here at night so they can go to sleep.

0:04:190:04:22

That's really good.

0:04:220:04:24

It's very important for donkeys to have shelter to go into,

0:04:240:04:28

especially when it rains,

0:04:280:04:29

-because they don't have waterproof coats, do they?

-No.

-No.

0:04:290:04:34

All done! Good job!

0:04:390:04:41

-I think the donkeys will be very happy.

-Me too. What do we do now?

0:04:410:04:46

-Wash our hands.

-Good idea, come on.

0:04:460:04:48

Make sure they're nice and clean.

0:04:550:04:57

OK.

0:04:570:04:59

What do we do next?

0:04:590:05:01

-We feed them.

-OK. What do we feed them?

0:05:010:05:03

-We feed them donkey chaff.

-That sounds yummy.

-Yep.

0:05:030:05:06

-Where would you like to put that? On the grass?

-Just along here.

-OK.

0:05:060:05:10

-Like that?

-Yes.

0:05:140:05:17

-Do they eat anything else?

-They eat grass.

0:05:170:05:20

-Grass? Do they love it?

-Yes, they're just like lawn mowers.

0:05:200:05:24

They must really love grass then!

0:05:240:05:27

Donkeys also need water and Ben and Bill have a trough,

0:05:270:05:30

so they have fresh water whenever they want it.

0:05:300:05:33

-Right. I think we're ready. Should we call them over for some food?

-Yes.

0:05:330:05:38

-Ben!

-Bill!

0:05:380:05:39

Food! Yummy.

0:05:390:05:42

-Oh, they really like chaff, don't they?

-Yes.

0:05:440:05:48

When you feed donkeys, you have to have your hand flat, don't you?

0:05:480:05:52

Just so your fingers don't get nibbled.

0:05:520:05:55

-Good boy. Do you enjoy feeding them?

-Yes.

0:05:570:06:00

What else do you have to do to look after Ben and Bill?

0:06:000:06:04

We have to groom them.

0:06:040:06:05

-Should we do it now?

-I would love to!

0:06:050:06:08

Thank you very much.

0:06:130:06:14

Hi, Bill!

0:06:150:06:17

Am I doing it right?

0:06:180:06:20

Yes. We have to brush them the way their fur's going.

0:06:200:06:24

Or else it might be a bit uncomfortable, wouldn't it? Yeah.

0:06:240:06:29

Bill is losing a lot of fur, here.

0:06:290:06:32

But it's all right, because when it's cold and during winter,

0:06:320:06:37

donkeys develop really, really long, shaggy coats to help keep them warm.

0:06:370:06:42

But as it's starting to get warmer, Bill is losing all his shaggy fur

0:06:420:06:46

and underneath he's got a really nice, sleek,

0:06:460:06:49

short coat to help keep him cool.

0:06:490:06:51

Do you like this, Bill?

0:06:530:06:55

I think he's enjoying it while eating his food.

0:06:550:06:58

So these donkeys have some yummy food, a nice clean stable,

0:06:580:07:03

and now they're being groomed.

0:07:030:07:05

-They're very happy donkeys.

-Yes.

0:07:050:07:07

It's now play time.

0:07:160:07:18

Some donkeys like to be ridden, but Ben and Bill aren't that used to it.

0:07:180:07:23

-So, Ashley, what do we do instead?

-We take them for a walk.

0:07:230:07:26

That sounds like so much fun!

0:07:260:07:28

-Let's get their lead ropes on.

-Sounds good to me.

0:07:280:07:31

Come on, Ben.

0:07:340:07:36

You and me are going for a stroll. Come on, Ben.

0:07:360:07:39

-Come on, Bill.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:07:390:07:43

Nice big treat in a bit. Yeah.

0:07:440:07:46

-I think Ben's really liking his walk. Is Bill?

-Yep.

0:07:540:07:58

Good donkeys!

0:08:020:08:05

Ah.

0:08:050:08:08

I've had such a lovely walk. Thank you very much. They've been so good.

0:08:080:08:12

Shall we give them a treat for being so good?

0:08:120:08:15

That is a great idea. What is their favourite treats?

0:08:150:08:18

-Carrots.

-I have two of them just here.

0:08:180:08:20

Would you like to give one to Bill? And I'll give you to Ben.

0:08:200:08:24

Good boys. There you go.

0:08:240:08:27

Bill and Ben are looking very busy, aren't they?

0:08:340:08:37

-They're always busy eating.

-Yes, they are. Hello.

0:08:370:08:42

If Bill and Ben were to have a job, what would their job be?

0:08:420:08:46

If Bill and Ben could do any job, they could be holiday guides.

0:08:480:08:53

They would fly on an aeroplane to Spain.

0:08:530:08:56

Then they would dress up in flamenco dresses.

0:08:560:08:59

Then they would do Spanish dancing to entertain all the guests.

0:08:590:09:04

And it will be a sun dance to make sure the sun stays out.

0:09:040:09:08

If you have a donkey, it's very important to keep them happy

0:09:130:09:16

and healthy and their feet need a lot of extra care and attention.

0:09:160:09:21

So what do we have to do to look after donkeys' feet?

0:09:210:09:24

We have to get a farrier.

0:09:240:09:26

A farrier is someone who looks after horses and donkeys' feet.

0:09:260:09:30

-And how often do you need to get this farrier?

-Every six weeks.

0:09:300:09:34

-That's pretty often, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:09:340:09:36

And, in fact, the farrier is here today to show us what to do.

0:09:360:09:40

-Hi, David.

-Hi, Fearne. Hi, Ashley.

0:09:400:09:42

We're going to go and give Ben lots of attention

0:09:420:09:45

while he gets his hooves done.

0:09:450:09:47

-It looks like Ben's ready to go, isn't he?

-Yes.

0:09:470:09:51

What's the first thing that David has to do for Ben?

0:09:510:09:55

-Put all the mud off his feet.

-He does, doesn't he?

0:09:550:09:58

It's very important that their feet get cleaned every day

0:09:580:10:02

because they can get some mud and stones caught in them.

0:10:020:10:05

And it's not very nice. He's being very good so far, isn't he?

0:10:050:10:09

-Yes.

-Well done, Ben.

0:10:090:10:11

Ben and Bill are very happy, friendly donkeys

0:10:110:10:15

but we're on this other side of this fence to be safe.

0:10:150:10:18

-Is it looking good?

-Yep, that's all nice and clean now.

-All clean.

0:10:180:10:22

-What else does David have to do?

-Check if their feet are healthy.

0:10:220:10:26

-That's right, we have to check for cuts, don't we?

-Yes.

0:10:260:10:29

-Is the foot healthy?

-Yep, that seems all nice and clean and good to go.

0:10:290:10:34

We're just going to give the feet a bit of a trim.

0:10:340:10:37

-It looks like he's having a nail file.

-It does, doesn't it?

0:10:370:10:40

-He's going to have very pretty feet after, isn't he?

-Yes.

0:10:400:10:45

-And you have to do that for every single foot?

-Yes, indeed.

0:10:450:10:49

We need to clean this foot out as well,

0:10:490:10:52

-you can see there's lots of mud and muck in there.

-Ooh.

0:10:520:10:56

-He's been standing on dirty things, hasn't he?

-Yes.

0:10:560:11:01

-How do you think Ben is doing? Is he doing well?

-Yeah, he's very calm.

0:11:020:11:06

He is very calm.

0:11:060:11:09

There we go. All done there. Well done, Ben.

0:11:090:11:14

Bill, you're next!

0:11:140:11:16

Come on, Bill. Over to the donkey beauty parlour.

0:11:160:11:19

Good boy, Bill.

0:11:190:11:21

Hi, Bill.

0:11:210:11:23

Same routine.

0:11:240:11:26

There we go.

0:11:290:11:31

-How's his foot looking? Healthy?

-Yep, all good, yep.

0:11:350:11:39

-There we go, all done.

-Brilliant. Thank you very much, David.

0:11:400:11:44

-It's a pleasure, bye!

-Bye, thank you.

0:11:440:11:47

I think Ben and Bill did really well, do you?

0:11:470:11:50

Yeah, I think they deserve a treat.

0:11:500:11:52

Definitely.

0:11:520:11:55

Here's some treats.

0:11:550:11:57

Come on. Come on, Bill.

0:11:580:12:00

FEARNE GIGGLES

0:12:010:12:03

Ashley, I have had such a brilliant time meeting you and your donkeys.

0:12:040:12:09

Thank you very much.

0:12:090:12:10

-CHILDREN:

-My Pet And Me!

0:12:150:12:17

-Hi, Rory.

-Hi, Fearne, how was your day?

0:12:190:12:22

It was brilliant. Hi, Monty, I didn't see you there.

0:12:220:12:25

We're just having a wee cuddle.

0:12:250:12:27

It was such a great day. Let me tell you all about it.

0:12:270:12:31

'Today, I met Ashley and her friend's donkeys Bill and Ben.

0:12:310:12:35

'We cleaned out their stable and gave them fresh food called chaff.

0:12:350:12:40

'We took them for a lovely walk around the field

0:12:400:12:44

'and then the farrier visited to check their feet.'

0:12:440:12:48

Wow, that sounds fantastic! And you made some great new friends too.

0:12:480:12:52

I did. But it's important to remember that pets are great,

0:12:520:12:56

but you should ask the owners if it's OK to touch them.

0:12:560:12:59

That's right. One pet you definitely can play with is ours,

0:12:590:13:02

go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.

0:13:020:13:06

We really love meeting you and your pets

0:13:060:13:09

and I've had such an amazing day.

0:13:090:13:11

# Today we met

0:13:130:13:17

# A lovely pet

0:13:170:13:19

# We see how much you care for them

0:13:190:13:22

# Thank you so much for sharing them

0:13:220:13:25

# Time for us to just remind you

0:13:250:13:31

# After you've played with your pet

0:13:310:13:34

# Wash your hands, don't forget!

0:13:340:13:37

# It doesn't matter what pet you've got

0:13:370:13:40

# You might have one, you might not!

0:13:400:13:43

# It's still fun finding out what having a pet is all about

0:13:430:13:50

# My pet, my pet and me

0:13:500:13:52

# My pet, my pet and me

0:13:520:13:56

# My pet, my pet and me

0:13:560:13:58

# Come back and see my pet and me. #

0:13:580:14:01

-ALL:

-Bye!
