I think the donkeys are trying to tell you that they love you to the moon and back!

We love them too yaaaay!! So much right back even more!!! 😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤Steve's nibbles got even softer as soon as Ju told him he loves him. Of course they feel the emotion and the loving energy. That's why they're so good at giving it back💞

Steve and Ronnie are the best. They bring so much joy to so many people .

Let's start the New Year by saying I Love You to those people and animals who complete our lives . (Just said it to my cat and he sneezed all over my face🥴)

Your actions and kindness tells them how much you love them but confirming with words (and hugs and kisses) is wonderful. Thank you and Rachel.

🥰🤗Donkeys just want to be more donkey. Steves a hot mess.😆😆
I really believe actions speak louder than words. You must SHOW Steve you love him by incessantly licking his cheeks. 🤣
I think he just wanted the zipper, he's obviously sewing something.
They both blinked slowly when you Said it, the same as dogs do, when they tell you they love you, its a blink where you Can se they are relaxed with you.

I love Steve and Ronnie, to characters thats for sure. ❤️❤️
Oh my chicken soup for the soul ! Love you all.
I absolutely love that cheeky chap Steve! Love all his licking and slobbering 🎄🏴🇬🇧🎄
Good morning SIR.JULIAN, is very nice to see you with the lovely DONKEYS, they sure love you animals can sense a lot of things, I'm sure with you and Rachel they feel VERY VERY GOOD VIBES!! They feel love comfort and protection LOVE!!!🥰🤗😍😊❤❤❤ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY !!!!
How could ya not love that goofy Steve, or beautiful Ronnie😂
Aw, that was absolutely lovely, their dear faces just make me melt. You can see the love they feel in their eyes. Ronnie has stunning white eyelashes ❤❤ xx
Ronnie was smiling. They do understand, absolutely. And you know they are thinking that they love their "stinky humans". I am so glad you show others that telling your animals that you love them is not only :"OK", but important in word and deed. Question: Do you have to bathe the donkeys, I wonder? 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!!

@@zoeilobowdery8778, donkeys cannot get permanently wet in windy, cold conditions (British winter)...but they are fine with a wash when the weather is warm and dry. Many donkeys (and mules) actually enjoy a good soak on a hot summer's day.
You booped Steve with your nose!! That was so cute!! These donkeys really love you right back!! : )
Steve and Ronnie are so cute. I noticed Charlie was at the back looking for some love also.
Awww this actually made me cry, they definitely understand and love you too

Yes !!! 🙌💯😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ It always is with fur babies!! 🤩😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
They know you love them, and they love you in their nibbley , somewhat assertive donkey way. Absolutely adorable to see!❤❤❤
I tell my dogs I love them several times a day because I want them to always know they are special 🥰🥰
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 🙏❤🇦🇺

Great story 😂🎉❤ about values 👍 me!! Us !! 😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Charlie was hanging around in the background, hoping to get in on the love-in.😍😍😍 Happy Boxing Day, everyone!🙏💗🥰🤗
Indeed Julian your a very blessed man. With an abundance of love and affection surrounding you. There’s nothing like the love and affection of the purest hearts and souls that are in God’s creatures. You can see within every video. Each and every animal at the sanctuary genuinely appreciate all you’ve given them. And they return it ten fold to you. ❤️🐴🐎🐶🐱🐷
I love Steve's lovely teeth and Ronnie's soft cuddly curls. They're both adorable! Next in line: Charlie! It was great you told them you love them, Julian, bc they love you! And we love you, Rachel and them!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
They understand. 🥰🥰🥰 I love your channel! I always smile and laugh 😅
HAPPY BOXING DAY - Yahooo..... Hope you had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! It's Donkey Day today!!! Hugs to your precious babies, all of them. Of course we tell them we love them, and we show it with love and hugs every day! Animals know what love is, and they can feel it from us., and from each other.
😄😄 reminds me of Rod Stewart's song: Have I told you lately that I love you. I think Steve was trying to say that your jacket looks better on him 😄😄. But seriously Julian, you are all blessed with each other. The animals are blessed with your love. You give them the best gift: life without fear. And they give you their unconditional love. Yes, I do believe animals are capable of feeling & giving love.
So blessed julien they love you too .🥰
My two favourite michevious donkey's 🤗💞 I tell all my pets I love them about 50 times a day because I do 💜
Love nibbles and face plants are the best! The facial and body expressions animals share with us speak volumes. Julian and Rachael, you are certainly loved in return by your precious animals and us mere humans who are blessed to witness the journey that you share. Thank you and may much love, joy, and peace be forever in your lives!
You can plainly see the love in those precious donkey eyes!❤❤❤ THEY ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS “DADDY!”❤❤❤
Good love vibrations, 🎄🍀
How is it possible not to love these sweet darlings 💕💕💕💕
Steve loves you, too, Julian. They all love you.
It's very true when I tell my cat I love her she gets squinty eyes and gets all mushy that's one of the ways you know that an animal loves you when they start giving you the squinty eyes

Cats smile with their eyes, your job is to "mirror" them and smile back
You are very blessed, and honoured, and much loved by all your critters, as shown by the nibbling and slobbering and general fawning. Lap it up Julian, and merry merry christmas to you all
😂He feels the same!! 💝
They very much know they are loved. It's just great to see. All animals show affection❤
Hey julien the love you too mate , by the looks of it 🥰
Merry Christmas, Julian, Rachel, Ronnie and Stebe!
These are the most genuine human/animal connections. Praises to God for these sweet interactions. ❤️
Awh Steve that lil buggers so darn cute. He luvs u too. Same with all those cute fuzzies
I have become addicted to these endearing videos. When I think about the cruelty in this world towards any of the beautiful creatures on this planet it does my heart good to see kind and loving human beings who care . My love to you my friend and your lovely best friends 💕💕💕
I’ve never even been near a donkey, I’m so fascinated and a little jealous! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those slobbery kisses that Steve gives always get me. Slurp slurp. Love comes in many forms. ❤️
Of course they understand!!! Love the way they are loving him back.
The donkey in the back looked sad when he wasn't told he was loved... ❤❤❤
Lots of cosmic Love to Julian and Rachel and Steve and Barry and Dotty .....Jai Guru Dev.😀😀😀😀😀
Steve and Ronnie are just so sweet. We love them too. ❤❤❤❤
How sweet! I wish I could hug and kiss these sweet animals.
😌😂 I was just rewatching the “Christmas day Live” I noticed when Polly was walking back over to get her tomato……… Polly and I look very similar from behind.. 🐖🍑 so I will be in the Bowflex until future notice.. is Rachael feeling better?
Lucky family ! Grateful for leading warming humanity tender 💖
Oh they so absolutely understand so much they start vying for undivided attention, just like little children....but such a joy and delight to see. Thank you💚❤️🤍
I believe animals do understand ❤️🌹🎄
All animals know when they are loved & when they have been rescued. So precious.
Jacob’s Ridge and all its residents can feel the energy of love, and the viewers are privileged to see it! 💖. Thanks Julian for sharing.
Awww - Julian is receiving all that lovin' from Ronnie & Stebe ... so adorable!!!
Awwwwww funny/sweet. Not the leather coat!!! Just a guy with his donkeys.
They do understand. Love them.
That is realy true i can tell. I tell my dog and cat often that i love them...and they show right away that it makes them feel good and important. Its not the words i think...but the positive energy behind it. Animals are very sensitive.
Oh my goodness! Watching you Julian with Steve & Ronnie just makes my heart glad! Telling them you love them is so sweet! And animals do understand! Thank you for all the genuine love you show! ❤️
They absolutely know you love them. All the slobbery licks, nibbled and kisses tell the story. Love you all.💕 z Love
Sending my LOVE to Steve and Ronnie and the rest of the gang!!!
They love you too ❤️ You can see it in their faces and kisses 😘 I tell my dogs I love them every day often.. And they know it!! Hug's Ronnie and Steve 😅
Makes sense. When I tell our pup that I love her, it's usually while showing her affection. Steve & Ronnie feel it in your voice just as pups do. You are surrounded by love. 🙂
Thank you for giving Timo a new life on the Ridge. I had a wire hair fox terrier that looked just like him. He was 1 year old when l rescued him and shared my life until he was 14. He was a great companion but very aggressive toward other dogs. Because he was bred to chase foxes, it was genetic. I could never let him off the lead, but we managed. His name was Slim Bob🐕. I love your work and channel!😊
Steve has such contentedness in his eyes❤️ And as another person pointed out, Ronnie is indeed smiling🙂
I'm a firm believer in telling animals I love them, my own and the wild ones too, I tell them all the time when I see them, and they pause and take it in.
So very sweet! Yay! Hello from Oregon ! 👆🙏✝️📖👏🙌🐕🐈🐾🤗♥️⚓🇺🇸
Pure Love ❤️
You are the luckiest man in the world Julian 🥰 😌 ahhh I loved this, beautiful donkeys ❤️
Steve: bros don't show but I luv ya man! I'm not crying, you're crying...ahhhhh
These 2 little guys adore you Julian 💙💙💙xxx
I think many animals can understand when you say I love you, and others understand through every day interaction. Funny how they show their love 😜💖
They know you love them without you even telling them.
Hugged and kissed by Ronnie and Steve…….. that’s some Christmas present. You are Blessed indeed.
awww Steve is so happy to have a loving home
My cat certainly knows, and reciprocates 😍
They do understand, we are all energy and they are wise and empathic, they feel your love.
Animals love unconditionally and are the best. We are blessed to have you, Rachel and those of Jacobs ridge to bring such joy to everyone. Love these donkeys and others. Thank you. God bless
The sweetest trumpet lippers that I could kiss over and over. You guys are angels and I am thankful for all you do. ❤
The important thing is…WE LOVE YOU! Ronny: Dya think the human understands? Steve: Eh…probably not.
Very sweet and funny animals.. I can see how they demonstrate a lots of love to Mr Jocobs
I tell my Maui cat I love him every day. We never know what will happen to us, so I tell the people and creatures I love that I love them each time we talk, so one of their last memories of me will be that know they were loved. I think it’s very important. I was in a bad accident where a bus T-boned my car 12 years ago. Despite all the injuries, I’m very lucky to be here. And that’s when I decided to say what I feel each time, because who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Yes and sometimes love hurts. Bite the face with love.
Tell them we all love them too. And Ben and phill, holy, Charlie. Sorry for all I missed. They are all such a blessing
Lol...I think Steve is trying to tell you how much he loves you as well Julian. 😊❤🐴
😂🤣 Never a dull moment! 😂🤣
Steve's face says it all!!❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to Steve and Ronnie…oh and you all too. Hugs and prayers to all your two legged and four legged babies.
Thank you for all you do 🙏🏽 Bless both of you, get well Rachael 😊
