Two Years!

Can you believe it?  Its been two years since I got up one morning after the longest foal-watch in history to find this little guy already up and ready to tackle the world. 

Tackle the world he has too.  I don't think there is a single heart he's ever met that hasn't melted at his feet.

No matter how much he's grown though, he hasn't changed much.

He is still the lovable,

tolerant,

pesky,

rambunctious,

little fiend who is into everything.

He still loves his mommy,

wants to help with every job,

thinks he is going to grow up to be BIG,

but knows that whatever size he is, is just the right size.

The world is his playground,

and everybody had better be willing to play with him,

because he never wants to take "no" for an answer.

Except when he's sleeping of course.

He and Emma have brought a great deal of brightness into the world.





Along with a great deal of worry,

stress

heartache,

and triumph.




We have learned a lot together

and have had an awful lot of fun doing it.

There are few things in life that are as much fun as raising a baby donkey.






 















Happy Birthday Ramsey!
You are a bright light in the world.  Keep shinning.

  5. Happy Birthday, Ramsey! You are one of my favorite creatures in the world, and we have never met.

    Your photo card hangs in my office, though, and you are really good company.

    All the best of Health and Happiness to you, from Cathy and the kitties Taffy and Purrcy.

  16. I could swear I posted birthday wishes to our boy yesterday but I don’t see it here. So . . . better late than never . . . Happy Birthday to “our” rascal of a boy. It’s been such a joy to follow along and experience his first two years of life. He’s a smile maker, a sunshine bringer and a source of great joy. Thank you Kris for allowing us all to follow along in this always captivating adventure. Give Ramsey a birthday kiss and hug from me. ♥♥♥

  23. So true they are a bright light. The fun part is donkeys never really grow up. Just think how many more wonderful times you'll have with him. Thanks for sharing. I really miss my 'hay burners' but they are living with friends and getting to see tons of kids everyday. They are in knee high grass and lovin' it.
    I loved visiting you!
