Imagine

When I taught Kindergarten I'd often tell the children that I was going to read a book to them, but not show them the pictures. They would have to imagine what they thought the story characters were like. Sometimes we'd read a page, then they would draw what their imaginations would tell them.
Since Blogger won't let me add pictures, you'll have to use your imagination to picture some of these funny scenes.
Frankie broke a water pipe, drained 3000 gallons of water from the tank before we realized what happened. He was standing in the huge mud puddle, as happy as a grey white horse could be in gooey black mud. He tried to help Jim fix the repair in the 105 degree heat, but was not welcome.
Posey the mini hinny needed a good roll. She started at the top of the little hill in the backyard and slid all the way down on her back. It was so much fun that the roly poly little girl did it again and again.
Levi was helping Jim fill the water trough by sticking his nose in the running water and begging for a good bath. He got one.
A jack rabbit ran past Keecha, Love and Zoe dogs. I thought for sure the poor bunny had lost it's mind and would probably be killed. Keecha was busy chasing shadows and couldn't be bothered. Zoe just sat and watched it zoom by her and Love who was digging a big hole looked over her shoulder and just kept digging. Those rabbit feet were really lucky,
Jonathan now follows us around to get neck massages. It took him almost a year to realize we were not bad guys who would hurt the poor old arthritic fella. He has a most unusual hee haw, even for a donkey.
Patches cat sat in front of the outside door that has glass in it and watched with amazement as a teeny little frog crawled all the way up. He'd turn his head one way, then the other trying to figure out what the funny little thing was. When the frog jumped, he jumped.
When we go out to feed there is a line up at the back fence that includes 4 donkeys, 2 big mules, 1 minimule, 2 mini hinnies, 1 mini horse, 2 ponies and 3 horses. The side fence has 3 mules and 7 horses. That doesn't count the other 8 turn-outs.What a musical greeting we get. And boy, do we hear about it if we are a little slow. Jim calls them Donna Groupies.
More imaginings later.
Thank you Eileen G, Holley Y and Mary R for your continued support. It's great folks like you who help Home At Last give sanctuary to so many horses, donkeys and mules. Thank you Marla for the hay.
Yesterday I was tired and grumpy, but Juan and Callie gave the needed mule hugs to make everything better. Can't imagine life without our beloved critters.
