Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

We're making dreams come true, one donkey at a time here at AKA Miniature Donkeys!

Just happy being donkeys!

Most websites only have pictures of nice, clean, well groomed donkeys. This however,  is a picture of several of the AKA jennets during the great  March Michigan Meltdown!

They do clean up pretty well though.........

Congratulations to Marlene Howard and John Mulder of Belleville, Mi on their recent purchase of Stewert and Neville!

 

The following is a wonderful update from Colleen Guyer of Rexford, NY. The Guyer's purchased AKA Clayton from us in July where he went to join AKA Uncle Clyde already at their NY farm. The also adopted TPDR Norman from www.turningpointedonkeyrescue.com

Thanks for sharing these photos of your  beautiful daughter and your very happy looking equines with us!! We just love to read and see updates about our former donkeys!

Sharon,

I hope all is good in Michigan. Here in NY we are getting ready for the fall and it is such a bummer because that means the snow will be here and no more night moon gazing w/the donkeys and Scout in my lawn chair. My 16yr old niece says, I make out with Norman when Jim is not looking. What can I say, Norman and I have a special thing going on and I just hope it lasts forever.

My vet says Norman is the only donkey that he knows that sits in a lawn chair and does some of the things he does. My vet wanted to see Norman lift something other than the muck bucket so Norman performed beautifully and lifted his vet bag and carried it all around while everyone got their shots. He even got a bucket on command. My vet thinks Norman should be on TV. I told him shhh. Norman probably would love to be a big star in Hollywood but I like what we have here and him all to ourselves.

Here are some recent donkey pictures of Chelsea riding Clyde and Scout. They are wonderful with her. She started riding Clyde right after Stanley got here and now she is riding all by herself. He is a saint. She just sings and laughs and he goes wherever she wants. I know he likes it because when are done, he likes to play with the saddle pad and it is a riot. He throws it up in the air and shakes it around.

Did I tell you the best thing we ever did was get Stanley for Norman and Clyde? Well what happy ending here. He has added 10years to Clyde's life. Not only does Clyde look better, but he has not been lame or limping since Stanley came to NY. And he is almost standing straight (I said almost).

I love the picture of the boys w/the halter. They sure were having a good time running and teasing Chelsea with it. All she wanted to do was start to groom Clyde and they were not going to let her have it without a game of cat and mouse first.

Well that is enough bragging about my wonderful barn family.

Love,
Colleen
PS
I love Nora and Niki at my moms house. They are so cute and great with my mother. She is growing very fond of them too. I knew she would. mother. She is growing very fond of them too. I knew she would.

 

 

 

**October 9, 2008 Update**

Hi Sharon,
How are you? I hope things are well with you.. We had a great summer again with our equine friends, here are a couple of recent pictures of Clyde and the girls. Norman and Stanley are doing great too, but did not take pictures this time around. Take care,
Colleen Guyer
PS we had lots of apples on our tree this year and they loved them.
