But if you don't have a donkey and an empire, you just go get yourself some moisturizer with lactic acid in it to make sure that your skin bumps go away and you keep things fresh.

I didn't necessarily want to eat donkey cheese, but now I actively don't want to eat donkey cheese.

So that works out well for me, I think.

Good.

You mentioned newborns, and I've seen this thing where they have fairy feet.

They have what looks like blubbery fingers on the ends of their feet, and it is cute and ghoulish.

But can you tell me a little bit about that and a little bit about their hooves?

Do they tend to get infected or are their hooves wetter than they kind of would be otherwise?

And so they're more porous or something?

A few people asked about that.

Keegan Newman wanted to know, do donkeys or mules ever benefit from horseshoes?

This question was afoot among patrons Minnie Minnie, Katie Seeger, and Stephanie.

They all wanted to know hoof stuff.

Can you put a wellie on their foot?

Well, Shivani Rahan Hetchel said they were a horse girl growing up and always wondered why mules seem to have very upright feet compared to horses.

And Stephanie asked, is it true that donkeys can see all four of their hooves at the same time and horses can't?

And Mini-Me also wanted to know, is that why they're so sure-footed?

Katie Seeger also volunteers at a sanctuary where there are mules and donkeys.

Amazing.

Right.
