The other day I had a guy come over and buy the last remaining rabbits. Just like every other Craigslist add, it was a 50/50 chance if he even showed at all so I didn't hold my breath.
The guy was actually running on time and after unloading his cages we walked around back. He stopped, looked around and started commenting on how set up I was and started asking questions about this and that. Of course when anyone shows interest in the Mini Farm, I give a tour.
We walked from project to project and I described in detail what everything was used for. When we got to the Bathhouse his face lit up and he looked straight at me and said, "I know you!!!!" He continued, "I read your stuff on the internet, your the Modern Day Redneck!"
Why yes, yes I am.
Meet Thumper. He is a miniature donkey and I didn't want him, the youngest girl "Wee" did. He was free and she could not turn him down. How could I get mad at her for doing the same stuff I have done so many times before.
I don't know her plans for him, but he is hers to take care of.
With all the goats gone for a while now it's nice to have something back in the pasture.
And yes, he is riding in the back seat of my truck.
This weekend we will be cooking at a Chili Cook off both Saturday and Sunday at the Elks Lodge in Denton. This place is located just off the square on Hickory St.
If you find yourself up that way then stop by for a visit. Or if you think you got some good chili then bring your fixens and come on. We are always looking for new cooks to haze.
Other than that, I'm as busy as a one armed paper hanger,
Later,
MDR
Awwww, Thumper is soooo cute!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen people come to my house they TRY to make plans to come back again to let their children torment my critters some more. I guess they think this is a petting zoo. I'm like you, BUSY, so when people come over I end up entertaining them and not getting anything done. The last child that was here practically killed a tree frog, wanted to pet the bunny, pet the bunny, pet the bunny and left with a pumpkin lol! That guy knowing who you are is so cool. Your famous! Good luck on you chili cook off ☺
That's when I start walking towards the gate and they get the hint. Thanks Kelly
