Everyday Presents

People ask me all the time what I get my donkeys for Christmas.  Those who know me, know that I am not fond of Christmas for a variety of reasons and one of them is the way giving gifts has become obligatory.  I like giving gifts and if you hang around long enough, you may find yourself the recipient of a random present here or there. 

As for the donkeys and my other animals, I do all I can, day in and day out, to make everyday like Christmas - only better because, thankfully, not every day is miserably cold, snowy and windy like today. 

Their presents include wide open spaces to run and play.

Safety and security so they can relax and live with no worries. 

A barn full of food so there are never any hungry days.

An environment filled with fun things to do.

Plenty of toys and exercise.

 Never ending improvements in their world.

Warm blankets, a cozy barn and good company.

Kisses on the nose.

Help in overcoming fears.

And maybe, just maybe, everybody got an extra cookie too.

Merry Christmas, everyday, even Christmas Day.
