Jose Animal Joke Challenge

There has been quite a bit of dust flying around here in the last several weeks. Activity, noise, and debris have filled the air. It was a mystery at first. You see, it wasn’t happening in my pasture, so I was not kept apprised of the project. It did not […]

  Jose’s Heavenly Haystacks   I like to eat.  No, that is not exactly right.  I love to eat.  I really enjoy yummy, fresh haystacks.  I enjoy haystacks so much that I am going to share a recipe for haystacks with you.  I must admit that the finished product doesn’t […]

Jose’s Excellent Adventure I planned a trip one beautiful Fall day.  Even a donkey that has everything, adoring friends, goats and chickens, needs a little adventure every now and then.   I opened the latched gate.  I can’t share the process of how I did this (trade secret).  Such information would […]

My Humans

Hello again, It’s Jose. I hope everyone is having a good day. I’ve noticed how interesting the animal kingdom is to people. For example, a whole day is devoted to the Groundhog, an animal that really isn’t all that interesting and with all due respect, not that smart. We have […]
