Dr. Ken Parker, owner of Thera-Pets, shares an affectionate moment with Mediterranean miniature donkey Geena while visiting Clinton County Nursing Home. Parker and the trainers make sure the donkeys have the best of care. Their medical records are updated every 90 days for state health inspectors. Parker thought he would have a lot of concern over housebreaking, he said, but because the donkeys originate from an arid climate, they conserve water and only urinate once every eight hours. As for other needs, they raise their tails several times in warning so they can be taken outside for a break. Their caretakers also carry a bucket and sanitizing supplies for emergencies.
