Hi!Ho! Jose’ here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast! I just wanted to take a minute to get a few things off my mind. First, why do we need more than one rooster in our barnyard? They are really noisy creatures. Achilles, the young rooster has begun to crow, along […]
The Jose Connection
Hi,Ho! Jose’ here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast! So, my herd and I usually go down into the pasture in the mornings. It’s much cooler than the heat of the day and the bugs have not yet gotten too bad. Yesterday was no exception, except that our grazing was […]
A Secret Pedicure- Jose’ Style

Hi, Ho! Jose’ here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast! It was a busy weekend here, cars coming and going, boats coming and going, lots of noise from the roof where that pool thing is! And, lots of pets and peppermints for me!! Last night I thought I had eaten […]
What’s that sound!!!!
Hi Ho! Jose’ here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast! I can tell by all the flowers popping up that Spring is just around the corner! Not to mention the fact that all of us livestock are feeling the need to rub our sides along the fence line to get […]
It’s Almost Strawberry Season

Hi Ho!! Jose’ here at The Secret Bed and Breakfast!!! Can one of you intelligent humans out there explain this weather? This time of year in Leesburg, Alabama I have this big, furry, coat because it is winter and it is usually cold. However, the last few weeks I’ve been […]
Oh the weather outside is…….confusing!

Hi Ho!! Jose’ here! I know y’all have missed me, it got a little crazy here with the holidays. First of all, we had a human visitor that kept coming up that I had to keep an eye on, then Kris and Charlie went out of town so I had […]
New year, New faces!
Hi Ho, Jose’ here!! So, there was a strange creature in the pasture yesterday. At first glance I thought it might have been Max, who for the first time ever had beat us down into the pasture. However, it was definitely much lighter than Max, and much faster! When it […]
Reindeer can fly!!!

Hi Ho! Jose here! Question for the day, why is everyone walking around singing about a “one horse open sleigh”? I mean, first of all there’s not any snow in Alabama so there is no need for a sleigh! Second, donkey’s are perfectly capable of pulling a sleigh if there […]
Jerusalem Donkey- a Jose’ story

Hi! Ho! Jose’ here!! Brrrr, its cold outside! I sure am glad that I have such great owners that appreciate the fact that on a cold winter’s morning a heat lamp sure does feel good on a donkey’s back! I’m not the only one with a heat lamp, Kris has […]
Heat Lamps….a donkey’s best friend!!
Hi Ho! Jose’ here! It’s been rather wet here on the mountain top the last week or so, and that has me wondering. Why does Chardonnay insist on grazing in the rain? Before she came to our pasture when it rained the goats and I would head to the barn, […]
Why Does the Horse Stand in the Rain?

Hi Ho! Jose’ here! Kris seems extremely happy these days, I think it must be the leaves appearing off the bluff. She even came over and put some on my head for a photo! I think she’s crazy!!! I for one just like the cooler temperatures. Although, I do like […]
Fall is in the Air…..and on my head!!
Hi Ho! Jose’ here! I have a rather serious question for everyone this morning, does anyone know why roosters crow? I for the life of me have yet to figure it out! Tanqueray has been here for several months now and he crows all the time. I thought roosters were […]
