Just a thought before I hit the sack
The Joy of this time together with my baby mini donkey - who we are calling Gracie, is worth the many years (hopefully) of trials and tribulations and stall mucking. It could be 35 years...I will be 85 then.
wow.

Awwww. How sweet! But what makes you think Gracie will want to put up with you for so long?

Nighty-night.

Hey now 85 is the new 60. Hehe.. I'm sure under your care Gracie (love the name) will live way past 35.

Woot! Minelson! You look so young! We can be 85 together! And, mucking will keep us so healthy that we will have an additional 12.75 years left to muck barns! For a total future years of mucking barns of 47.5. How. Fun? Half a century of mucking barns. Now that is the good life!

(okay. Maybe not mucking barns, but the animals that are our friends. They really do make it worthwhile.)

I Love the name & 35 years will fly by! I hope I make it another 35 years, not sure how many farm critters I'll have then because I'll be 85 too but I plan on having what ever I can manage & take good care of.
You can do it!

I'll be 87, and wearing a bright, purple hat as I muck the barn!

I seem to be a bit older than some of you.

Gosh, I hate to think about mucking for 35 more years!
OR
Gosh, I hope I can still muck for 35 more years!

I'm sure you were focussed more on the "doing it with Baby D for 35 years" part of that thought.

Please God we will all be willing and able stall-muckers well into our 90's.

I hope that by the time I'm 90 I'll have a barn I can clean out with a tractor or enough great grandsons to help their goat crazy granny out.
