Hi Ho! Jose’ here! My friend Lexie was sitting in the pasture yesterday reading me some book about a donkey when she happened to mention that she would not see me today because she was going school shopping with her Mom. I’ve heard a lot about school from my little […]

My Favorite Movies With Donkeys and Mules (my cousins)
So, my human family was running around last night mumbling something about a Strawberry Moon. I love strawberries but I’m guessing (since I am a smart ass!) that I couldn’t eat a strawberry moon. I do hear folks talking about Strawberry Jalapeno Jelly and how good it is on biscuits […]
