Now, the Opinion:

As Social Media Coordinator for the Caroline Review, my job is to share to Facebook articles written by the more experienced and talented writers of the Review, in a manner that is completely unbiased. I make my posts and move on, keeping my opinions to myself. When I read this article, however, I knew I could no longer hold my tongue…GO CUDDLE THE DONKEYS! Seriously! Having experienced donkey cuddling for the first time back in June, I can’t say enough about the experience. If you are stressed, if you are sad, if you are bored, if you are lonely, if you are so sick of doom scrolling on Facebook you feel like your head is about to explode…GO CUDDLE THE DONKEYS! Even if you’re having a good day, GO CUDDLE THE DONKEYS! This is the best kept secret in Caroline County that is no longer a secret. Don’t miss out!
