It was a delightful surprise when I learned that Thursday fell on May 15 because May 15th is a special day in my heart. On May 15, 2081 Captain DonKirk was born. I didn’t know it, of course, until several months later when I met him and his mom at a local county fair in Ohio. Through a series of events, a few weeks later a horse trailer backed into the driveway and a little fuzzy baby donkey was led off and brought up to me as a gift…I was shocked! My friend, who owned the little hobby farm where I was renting a room, had her own horse, and I owned a little dun filly and a couple of wethers at the time, and Donk fit right in…and that was my introduction to the world of donkeys!
I could share a whole lot more about those days, and the rest of Donk’s story, but I’d rather share about cool donkey stuff…enjoy!
And finally, for more cool donkey stuff, here are some links:
