He also needs round-the-clock care after undergoing an operation for a life-threatening infection in neighboring Slovenia, where people donated to cover the costs of his treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery two hours, we warm up his milk and feed him,\u201d owner Andjelka Josipovic said. \u201cIf we forget to feed him, he wakes up, comes to us and rouses us up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Josipovic lives in a one-bedroom flat with her partner Kristijan Jelenic, her two sons, a dog and now Mile.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The unusual newcomer has drawn attention in the neighborhood, but no one has complained.<\/p>\n<p>Josipovic is hopeful Mile will recover fully as he now eats well and has gained a kilogram (2.2 pounds). He seems cheerful with a \u201cstrong desire to suckle, eat, and fight,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first night, the vet thought there was no hope and wanted to put him down,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI said, let\u2019s try until the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The family runs a small ranch and a playroom for children in Bale, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Rovinj, with llamas, pigs, horses, and sheep.<\/p>\n<p>Mile spends his days with the other animals at the ranch, but he returns to Rovinj \u2014 one of Croatia\u2019s most popular tourist resorts \u2014 in the evening. The pony rides in the back seat of the family car. At the apartment, he sleeps on either a mattress or a sofa.<\/p>\n<p>The family lives in a residential part of Rovinj, away from the main tourist zone in the old town, which is famous for its winding, Mediterranean-style stone streets dominated by a church.<\/p>\n<p>Jelenic said having Mile at home at the moment is no different from having a dog or any other pet because he is still relatively small, weighing just 16 kilograms (35 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn about twenty days, this probably will no longer be possible,\u201d Jelenic said. \u201cI hope he will be strong enough by then to be able to stay at the ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=2481\">Iran to receive $300 billion in aid under US accord<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=2483\">The cost to overcome a Trump endorsement? $100 million.
