This is all my friend, Kathleen's fault! We attended an auction and I just had to come home with a mini donkey, Cade's Ellen, who I call Ellie. Since then, I realized that donkeys need company, so in July, I purchased Ellie's half-sister, Cade's Barb, or Barbie. Ellie and Barbie both attended the Kansas State Fair Mule and Donkey Show this September. In October, I bought Dewey, a 3 month old Jack who is doing well with lots of attention. These donkeys are sweet, loving animals and bring joy to my heart - especially hearing them braying at me in the morning!
