🎉🫏 Happy 9th Birthday, Deckers! 🫏🎉
Today we’re celebrating Deckers, who officially turns 9 years old! Born on June 1, 2017, right here in Cripple Creek, Deckers came into the world with quite the story.
His mom, Tiffany, was pregnant when she joined the herd, and when the big day arrived, she gave birth to Deckers right in a local resident’s backyard! From day one, Deckers proved he wasn’t interested in doing things the ordinary way. 🌟
Over the years, he’s grown into a donkey with a personality as big as his ears. Deckers loves a good shenanigan, is endlessly playful, strong-willed, and occasionally finds himself at the center of a little donkey drama. Whether he’s testing boundaries, stirring up harmless trouble, or convincing the other donkeys that rules are merely “suggestions,” he keeps life interesting.
Like any young jack, he’s still figuring out where he fits in the herd. Some days he’s a leader, some days he’s a follower, and some days he’s simply conducting highly questionable research on what happens when you ignore instructions. 😏
And here’s a fun donkey fact: Deckers is the only donkey in the herd whose exact birthday and age we know for sure! So every year on June 1st, we use Deckers’ birthday as an excuse to roll the birthday clock forward for the entire herd.
🎂🫏 Happy Birthday to ALL the Cripple Creek Donkeys! 🫏🎂
Here’s to another trip around the big sun in the sky, another year of adventures, friendships, and just enough trouble to keep things entertaining. May your hay piles stay full, your ears stay perked, and your shenanigans remain legendary.
Happy 9th Birthday, Deckers, and Happy Birthday, Herd! 🎉☀️🫏
