Another glorious day at the Ranch! Actually, Griff (dobie) & I walked down to the mail box & all the "Kids" had to come see. (L-R) W***y, Homer, Otis, Grace Cliff & Milo. Donkeys are great watch dogs!

Catching up...Had a great visit from friends from Denver. Shirley, Vivi, Shannon & her grand kids Charlie & Wesley. We met when I was 14...many, many yrs ago. Love them dearly, even named the 4wheeler after Shirley (92 yrs young). Shirley & Vivi with Tilly (draft mule), Charlie & Milo, Shannon & Wesley with Clifford and the kids just having fun and then off to get ice cream🍦Thank you so much Shannon for the donation, much appreciated 🥰

Our sweet sweet Belgian Gideon went to be with his lifetime girl Charlotte. He was one of the lucky ones to live a long (30 yrs) healthy charmed life. We had him 29 yrs. & was the last of our original "Kids". Like a big dog he would follow us around & loved visitors. Love this picture of Gideon, Charlotte & Ralph going down the road for dinner. Also a great picture of Gideon & Andy (our Clydesdale) having fun in the round pen many years ago. Ralph said it was an honor & a privilege to care for him all these years.
Miss you Son❤️

A huge incredible blessing came our way!!! Thank you to
Best Friends Animal Society & Jen Reid, Horse Haven Manager
for 500 bales delivered to us. This hay will feed our "Kids" for
half the year!!! You have no idea how much we appreciate it. Our expenses are largely paid for by our retirements, so this is AWESOME!!! We don't realize just how small Dreamer is...until this showed up.😮

Interesting how things work out. 20 some yrs ago our paths crossed working for Best Friends. Fast forward...Marsha rescued 2 fabulous Jersey cows, Fiona & Tag (Along) from slaughter. She contemplated rehoming them & along came us, always wanted Jerseys. Come to find out Cows know what's going on!!! About a wk before coming to us they knew their Mom Marsha was very upset, Fiona started acting up & Tag was getting depressed. We had been talking for 2 months about this & came to the conclusion they DID NOT want to leave, neither did their Mom so...the "Kids" are still with their Mom Marsh & all is right in their world. Best of all we are now friends & she came to visit (without the cows) but with Teddy her faithful companion 🐾🥰

Running late on posts, we've been so busy at the Ranch the last couple of months. Had some fun visitors, sisters Kim & Mary Beth from NV, seen here with Joie. Kim had contacted us back in Feb. looking for a sanctuary for her mustang & decided to come on a road trip. Still looking for the perfect fit for her girl, keep us posted.😃

From our grantees at Perseverance Ranch Equine Rescue Sanctuary

Joie came to us about 5yrs ago when his owner could no longer care for him. He's about 27 with only 3 teeth. Many years ago he was fed straight alfalfa & put on so much weight his crest (neck & mane) fell over. He was quite a handful at first & he's come a long way, now he's Mr Meet & Greet. We had a fun visit with Gabrialla & Francisco from Houston, and maybe someday will have their own Donkey Rescue🥰

Meet the new "Kids" Lady Gray and Dreamer. Their owner has been a great long time friend and due to recent health issues she's decided to rehome them with us. She's had Dreamer for 15yrs & adopted Lady Gray a few yrs ago. Lady's had many homes & we'll be her last. As cute as can be, they'll keep Joie (mini donkey ) company. 🥰

IT'S DONKEY DAY!!! Our first was Miss Fannie Farkle🥰 She was a BLM b***o captured with her son many years ago. She was on her way to the auction when our neighbor took her. He decided to try and ride her🤣after she launched him thru the air he did a few days on the couch. So...Fannie came to live with us for many happy years. She's since passed but what a lovey girl she was. Donkeys are fabulous😍
