Donkey Bernie and Lisa
The self-confident donkey Bernie and the "forgotten" Lisa
Telling about an animal's life is almost like watching a film. It is often the case that you can't get out of your amazement. What do animals go through until they are allowed to experience a little joy in their lives? They stand together in a stable, then one is sold. The next animal comes, another one goes away.
In the stable of an animal lover, donkey Lisa found her best friend Weibi
The mare Weibi went over the Rainbow Bridge. Years ago, she had been sold to the horse dealer because of arthrosis. Weibi was lucky in bad luck. The dealer wanted to sell her on and in the meantime placed her in the stable of an animal lover.
The path to a better future should begin
Weibi was brought to the horse stable where donkey Lisa had been living for a few days. The animal lover told us that her owners had simply forgotten about her. Forgotten in the truest sense of the word: the hooves had not been looked after for a long time and Lisa was in terrible pain. Somehow Lisa was a sad figure.
From now on, however, Weibi and Lisa became a team. They lived a harmonious life and each new day was even more exciting than the one before. The dealer did not manage to find a buyer for Weibi, and so she had to go to the butcher. It was the end of the 22-year-old mare.
Gut Aiderbichl had 60 minutes to decide whether death or life
The animal lover called us immediately. The mare had to live on. And a solution was found - Weibi could come. It was then that we learned of the intimate friendship with Lisa. We respect the bond between animal families and animal friendships and it would not have been Aiderbichl if we had not taken in the mare and the donkey. Both took up residence at an Aiderbichl outdoor farm in Salzburg.
Bernie became the mutual friend of Weibi and Lisa
Bernie came to Gut Aiderbichl in 2015. A very self-confident young donkey became Weibi and Lisa's friend. So, they lived together in happiness and harmony for a few years.
A few months ago, Weibi unfortunately went over the Rainbow Bridge. She said a quiet goodbye to her friends Lisa and Bernie.
Move to Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf
The two donkeys have now been integrated into the Henndorf donkey group. Mario, the donkey leader, is happy with the long-eared addition. "You will like it here with us. I will also show you what we donkeys can do here".
Lisa was very quiet at first, but now she likes to stand in the sun with Elli and Donna Anna. Bernie goes his own rounds, and has become a very good friend to Mario, Johnny and Crown Prince Rudolf, the baroque donkey. If Lisa and Bernie could talk, we would certainly learn a lot more about their animal life before their time at Gut Aiderbichl.
