Whether I am battling against the driving snow, with my collar up to my chin, or blasting hot air at my feet and windscreen, while the fast falling snow plays tricks on my eyes, I cannot help but feel for animals left outside in this tundra.

It tends not to weigh so heavily on my mind on those dry crisp days, but rather when the wet comes, along with the snow. Sleet.

Lately, I have passed several fields of donkeys, and so, as a fitting tribute to their battered coats, manes and pride, here are some beautiful recreations.

Paulina, the creator and owner of Lemmikkiapina hails from Finland. She is all sold out, which is great to see, so check her sold items! Oh and linen pig is probably my favourite, but I haven’t seen too many of those braving the ice.
