Donkey Full-on Pouts Over Being ‘On a Diet' and We Totally Get It
Donkey Full-on Pouts Over Being 'On a Diet' and We Totally Get It originally appeared on PetHelpful. It's safe to say that most of us would completely agree that there's nothing worse than having to be on a diet. shared a short video on Instagram recently of one of their resident donkeys, who is currently on a diet, and they're not happy about it. Leba says in the video's caption that this is "the saddest thing you'll see today…a donkey on a diet," and it's cracking people up. Apparently, this donkey is no longer able to eat with his friend during mealtime because the dieting donkey kept trying to steal their friend's food. This might explain why they have to be on a diet in the first place! We feel bad laughing at how sad this donkey at Leba's is! They look so disappointed with life and with not being able to eat with their friend. Commenters also got a kick out of it. @mjchapman56 pointed out, "Looks like 'Eeyore' - Winnie the Pooh's friend!" @annfcameron wondered, "That is so sad! Can't he have some celery at least? Kidding!" @ shared, "That's some serious sadness!! My mare can totally relate!!!" @chihuahuas_4_me joked, "Oh, well, I'm sorry, but you are stealing somebody's food, and if you want to know the truth, you are a little chubby. I thought you were pregnant. But anyways, yeah, I know. I'm there, so I know exactly how you feel!"Do Donkeys Get Sad? While this donkey certainly looks sad, do they really experience sadness? PetShun explains, "Scientific studies have provided evidence that donkeys can indeed suffer from depression. Researchers have observed changes in behavior and mood in donkeys that are consistent with symptoms of depression in humans. These changes include decreased interest in food, decreased social interactions, and a general lethargic demeanor. Depression in donkeys can be caused by a variety of factors. One common cause is social isolation. Donkeys are known to be highly social animals and thrive in the company of other individuals. When a donkey is separated from its herd or has limited social interactions, it may feel lonely and isolated, leading to depressive symptoms." PetShun also recommends providing mental and physical stimulation if your donkey gets depressed. Maybe this one needs a new ball to play with!

Papua New Guinea Defeat Fiji And Will Chase Back To Back Titles In Suva
Papua New Guinea are one win away from defending their OFC Women's Nations Cup title, following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over hosts Fiji in a gripping semi-final at HFC Stadium in Suva. Ericson Komeng's side enjoyed long spells of dominance and showed their cohesion, with seven players from Hekari United Women's FC featuring in the starting XI. Marie Kaipu posed a constant threat up front, supported by Michaelyne Butubu and Keren Kalapai. Fiji, in contrast, looked to exploit the pace of Narieta Leba on the counter. The return of midfield maestro Ramona Padio, absent during last month's friendlies between the sides in Port Moresby, proved influential. In the 26th minute, her pinpoint cross was headed home by Kalapai to open the scoring. Padio nearly doubled the lead four minutes later, denied only by a superb near-post save from 18-year-old Fiji goalkeeper Emily Esposito. But Padio didn't have to wait long to get on the scoresheet, just three minutes later, she unleashed a powerful 30-metre effort that bounced awkwardly in front of Esposito, who couldn't keep it out. Fiji hit back immediately. Straight from the restart, a long ball released Leba, who regained her footing after stumbling and rifled a right-footed strike past Lavinia Hola to halve the deficit. Chances followed either side of the break for Fiji as they desperately sought an equaliser. Leba squared a dangerous ball across goal for Trina Davis, who couldn't connect with the net beckoning. Moments into the second half, Cema Nasau, quiet in the first half, forced a brilliant save from Hola at close range. Fiji coach Angeline Chua made a bold call at halftime, replacing Davis with 14-year-old Adi Reva, but PNG's experience and control shone through. They lifted their intensity, dictated the tempo, and saw out the match with composure. Captain Maria Veronika cleared off the line for Fiji with 20 minutes remaining, and on attack Fiji threw everything at the PNG defence in the final minutes but couldn't find the magic touch needed to draw level and force extra time. It's heartbreak for Fiji—once again falling 2-1 to PNG, just as in the 2022 final. The hosts will now turn their focus to Saturday's third-place playoff, while Papua New Guinea await either Solomon Islands or Samoa in the final.
