Crystal...

Therapy AnimalOur donkey will get "orders" designating him as a "therapy animal." This is great as that means we will be able to keep him. I'm sure that his life with us will be much more enjoyable than out in the country.

Attached is a recent photo.

Thank you for all of the great reading material. You're the best!

Hi, Crystal…

We named him “Smoke” as he has a smoky color and loves cigarettes. He is attracted to them when they’re lit. Beats me.

Here he is with one of the foxes. Whenever he is around, they come out to see him. It’s really funny.

The video and the books were quite helpful.

I’m going to do what I can to get him a home in the States.

I’ll let you know how it goes with us.

All the best!

Semper Fidelis!
