I know you clean their ears, but, if you actually give them them a bath that would be a great video. Thank you for the great videos!!

    Donkeys, they carried baby Jesus, before and after He was born, and they carried Him into Jerusalem. The people took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said: “Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.” John 12:13,14,15 God Bless you all 🙏❤🇦🇺

And that’s when I decided to say what I feel each time, because who knows what tomorrow will bring?
