Honky and Tonky - No Regular Donkeys!

They're a staple of the holiday nativity scene. But for Reese Witherspoon donkeys are for life, not just for Christmas. Talking to Ellen Degeneres on her chatshow yesterday the Hollywood star revealed that she has added two of the animals to her growing menagerie. And she has enlisted her children to help clean up after them. She said: 'This year we got donkeys. They're really cute. 'That's Honky, and that's Tonky. They're actually miniature donkeys. 'They're called Donks. They're docile and sweet. We have a friend who had one and we thought it was really cute.' And as well as her two children she also has a veritable menagerie at her Los Angeles home, she revealed. I have two pigs, and I have three goats and I have 20 chickens and of course I have three dogs. 'And I have one horse. It's hanging out with the donkey, it's sweet'. 'And it's so good for the kids to learn about animals and kindness and compassion. I make them clean the stalls'.
