After morning chores today, Yoda helped Malachai in his Service Dog training. Rides in the truck. Waiting in the truck without "Momma" being there. A trip to the library. And here they are being good under the table at the restaurant.

We didn't let the Texas hurricane Beryl end our lesson plans as the storm moved up through Michigan. We were going to drive. Instead, we spent the session costuming Feather and GeishaGirl. And we had FUN!

Feather's a pro at this. Been wearing costumes happily for years now. For Geisha, it was a first. Both ladies did their jobs exceptionally well.

Well done, Cayden, Charlie, and Cora. With thanks to Susan, Candice, and Laney for all your help.

Snoopy is settling in well to his new life here on the Farm. Loves his stall and treats. Making friends.

So very glad I found him through LUCKY A RANCH, INC. In my opinion, LAR is one of the finest donkey rescues/sanctuaries in the World.

Once again, our darling Eclipse is searching for his forever home. A a healthy, active 9 month old Australian Shepherd was just too much for his doting Momma (an older, frail woman) to be comfortable handling.

Eclipse is UTD on everything. He's licensed. And he gets along well with adults, children, and cats.

Come meet our boy! Let's see if you're the one he needs to live out his life with.

Willow, accompanied by her Momma Margo, made her first trip to the Farm today. Spent time investigating the house, between naps and visits with her Uncles Magic and Yoda.

Captured her likeness to my heart dog Rumor. It's almost freaky how similar they look!

Thanks for the suggestion, the chauffeur services, the conversation, and the pictures, Jillian. We'll do it again.

Snoopy just left LUCKY A RANCH, INC and is on his way to his new home here at M&MS FARMS.

We are so excited to have Snoopy join us. I've been promising The Duke a donkey of his own for quite awhile now. And his baby brother is now on his way.

Interesting how what's meant to be is. My favorite transporter was on his way to California when I got serious about keeping my promise to Duke. So I started shopping at my favorite donkey Rescue: LAR. Time was getting short, if we were going to hitch a ride. Snoopy arrived. Couldn't get him out of my mind. And Snoopy already had his Coggins and health papers.

Thank you, Michele, for letting me know this boy just arrived. Thank you, Jacque, for allowing Snoopy to join us and for working with him while he was with you. And thank you, Bob, for reaching out with information on Snoopy's time in Texas.

Snoopy will be here soon!!

So ... we have a new donkey joining us. His name is Snoopy. And he's just 5 years old. A HANDSOME dude he is.

I've been looking quite a while now for a donkey to buddy up with The Duke. Believe Snoopy is the one. He needs us.

Thank you, Jacque, for entrusting Snoopy to our care. Thanks even more for rescuing him.

We had the honor yesterday of introducing this young man to the joys of being with horses. Damien brushed our BB - the pony who will teach him to ride. He groomed our sweetheart Jonah. And then he found his new best friend - lady Empress. Brushed her, sat on her back in the stall, and gave her special treats

So ... today Damien had his first ride. On his BF Empress. He walked her first, used the mounting block to get on her back, began learning to balance himself and to steer her, and took a walk around the front yard. When he dismounted, as he had learned to do yesterday, he loved on her, walked her around again, gave her a special treat, and pit her back in her pen with Duke.

What a wonderful new beginning!

Thanks for assisting, Bre, and for the pictures.

***********************************UPDATE******************************
What a fabulous day we had! Kai, Laney, (Assistant Trainer) Magic, and I worked for 4 hours!! On elevators, escalators, clothes shopping, leash walking, grocery shopping, finding a chair, stranger-no-danger, and stairs. Our students did so well, even with all the stimuli they had from strange places, smells, and sights. AND they have their homework assignments, too.
****************************************************************************

This little man is a Service Dog in Training for his best friend Laney. They've been doing their homework. And we'll join them again Saturday for a traveling session to acquaint Malachi with new places and experiences. Can hardly wait!

So proud of Laney and Kai!

Did you know? The donkey is mentioned more often in the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, than any other animal!
