 On Saturday, October 26, 2024, my dear friend Tania and her gorgeous donkeys will be hosting a fundraiser event for The Longears Safehouse Donkey Sanctuary. The Longears Safehouse (TLS) is the only rescue organization in New Mexico specifically for donkeys and mules/hinnies. TLS is a federally recognized 501c3 tax exempt organization. All of this is a VERY cool, necessary thing because donkeys and mules are awesome and they deserve to be cared for and live out their best lives.

Did you know that donkeys typically live 30 - 40 or more years? That means they often outlive their original owners. I didn't know that. But WOW! Now I understand why it's so important to have such a wonderful organization as TLS to rescue and care for the donkeys who have lost their (original) owners until they can find their safest, best forever homes.

So, last week I had the opportunity to visit my friend, Tania and her gorgeous donkeys. They are the hosts of this wonderful event that will benefit the rescue donkeys. Oh my! What a special day that was for me. Just spending time in their presence was incredible. These animals are such wonderful creatures and they really want to help their friends in need at The Longears Safehouse Sanctuary.

Let me introduce you to: Bandit, Mercedes, and Zorro. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture of Chloe the sweet foster donkey, although if you click the picture of Tania with furry Zorro, you can see a bit of Chloe in the distant background behind the feeder.

Aren't they gorgeous? Each one has such a unique personality and they'd love to meet you. In fact, we'd all love to meet you! I hope you will consider spending the evening of October 26th with us. There will be fabulous food, drink, conversation and live music too! Our very own Farmer Jeff (aka JR Chapman) will be providing the live music. He's been working hard putting together a great selection of songs for your enjoyment.

If you're interested, I urge you to secure your tickets soon as tickets are limited and final counts will be needed soon for food planning & preparations. It's going to be so much fun and it's for such a great cause.  I hope you'll come and help us make hay after the sun shines. It's going to be a remarkable evening.
