Let’s face it—there’s no better way to brighten up our days during these challenging times than with a little humor and heart. That’s exactly what Arnold Schwarzenegger and his beloved pet donkey, Lulu, are doing. The Hollywood legend, who’s no stranger to taking on big challenges, is using his platform to remind us all of the importance of staying home and staying safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Arnold’s Quarantine Companion: Lulu the Chess Partner
Who needs a human chess partner when you’ve got a donkey? Arnold Schwarzenegger, now 72, has been sharing lighthearted moments from his quarantine life, and his furry friend Lulu has been front and center in these updates. In one particularly hilarious Instagram post, Arnold captioned a photo of himself playing chess with Lulu, saying, “Here’s your daily Lulu update—she’s not the best chess partner but she’s getting there.” He went on to encourage his followers to use this unusual time to pick up new skills or hobbies, like learning chess with their families. After all, if a donkey can learn to play, so can we!

Arnold’s Humor Keeps Fans Smiling
Arnold’s posts aren’t just entertaining—they’re also touching hearts worldwide. In the picture with Lulu, Arnold is seen puffing on a cigar, adding a touch of his signature charm to the scene. Fans couldn’t help but respond with humor and admiration. One commenter joked, “Love it! Don’t defeat Lulu too badly,” while another chimed in, “If she wins, don’t tell anyone.” A third fan simply expressed their admiration, saying, “You are the best 👍 stay safe!” It’s clear that Arnold’s playful approach is resonating with people everywhere.
Pet Power: Lulu and Whiskey as Social Distancing Superstars
While Arnold has always been open about his life as a donkey dad, Lulu and her companion, Whiskey the pony, have truly become internet sensations in recent weeks. Back on March 15, Arnold shared a public service announcement (PSA) featuring both animals, urging everyone to practice social distancing. He stressed the importance of staying home, saying, “Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons. We will get through this together.” Arnold even joked about his own age, noting that after 65, “you’re not allowed out of the house anymore in California.”

Life at Home with Arnold, Lulu, and Whiskey
With public gatherings, restaurants, and gyms off the table due to measures implemented across the U.S., Arnold has fully embraced life at home. He joked that he doesn’t “do anything like that anymore here” but revealed that his pets keep him plenty busy indoors. “We just eat with Whiskey and with Lulu, we have a good time, we get entertained,” he explained. For Arnold, staying home isn’t just about following guidelines—it’s about making the most of the time with loved ones, even if those loved ones happen to be four-legged friends.
