Me 2, Me 2, Me 2. I have my old mule, Jake, and 2 mini donkeys. Talk about love. They are just big puppies and so affectionate. No way are they just left in the field and ignored. They need to show love to me and the rest of the family several times a day. And mules are so extremely smart. Jake has been sharing his thoughts with me for years. Very good at getting his point across. Amazing. Again, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these animals.
Don’t ask me how I came by it. Grew up on the south side of Chicago. Never owned a mule, although we did have dairy goats for over 20 years and most of my mule contact has been at our county fair. In 2005 we took a trip to Lancaster to see family. Went for a drive on a Sunday. Passed by pasture after pasture of mules turned out for their day off. Took some great pictures. Green fields, wildflowers and about 15 mules - HEAVEN!!
