Texas Burro Rescue Rocks!

This morning, Kinky called, to ask me if I could come over to the Lodge for a photo shoot, around ten o’clock. He told me that some people were coming out to talk to him about their burro rescue, and they wanted to also take some pictures of Kinky with our donkeys—Roy, Gabby and Little Jewford.

At nine-thirty, I drove over to the Lodge to discuss some rescue ranch business with Kinky. At ten o’clock sharp, a big white Tundra pickup pulled up at the Lodge—it was them! Kinky and I went to greet them. Mark Meyers, the executive director, and his friends, and fellow burro rescuers, Jan and Charles (I forgot their last name) impressed us on the first handshake.

We visited for a little bit, and then we took off to go find ‘The Boys.’ Charles and Jan rode with me in Buttermilk, and Mark and Kinky followed us, in The Navigator. We found Little Jewford down by the hay barn, and he had no problem posing with Kinky—he loves apples! He must of eaten at least three apples, as Mark and I snapped away.


After that photo session, we walked over to where Roy and Gabby were grazing in a nearby pasture.

We’ve had Roy and Gabby for eight or nine years. They are Libra twins, and they have great personalities. Like Little Jewford, they posed as Mark snapped away. I couldn’t snap away, because my battery ran out of juice. I was sick not to get some pictures, but it was fun to watch Kinky feeding the burros and they ate it up, quite literally!

After Kinky ran out of apples, we all went back to Kinky’s Lodge and visited some more. Then Mark, Charles and Jan followed us over to the rescue ranch for a tour. During the tour, we discussed burro rescue—then we finished up our visit in Outer Space, and took a few more pictures before they left.

Kinky, Tony and I were extremely impressed with these people, the organization, and what great things that they are doing for the burros! After they had left, I called Kinky and we discussed the possibility of getting involved with them—maybe being a satellite for them, and helping find homes for their burros!

I have so much more to say about this great organization, TEXAS BURRO RESCUE, and will write more tomorrow, about them. They are definitely helping make our planet a better place!
