it's a. . . mule???

mm
baby mm
its a mule
a quick lesson in farm animals.

horse + horse= horse
donkey + donkey= donkey
horse + donkey= mule
miniature horse + donkey = miniature mule!

we had quite a surprise when we went to see valentine's baby!
it's a miniature mule! it's a boy!
valentine is doing great and is a wonderful mom. the baby was born on mother's day.
we're waiting to see what madelyn names him.
she is currently considering: freezer, bambi, or honker.

I have seriously not laughed so hard in a while!!! In fact I am laughing now just thinking about it. We vote for the name Tyrone...you know the love child of Valentine and her donkey honey! Oh wow!

Does miniature horse plus donkey always equal miniature mule? And where do jeanettes come in? Aren't they something?

Miniature mule! Is there such a thing? I guess so! I guess you learn something new everyday! Regardless of what type of animal it is... how cute! I vote for Shelly's name idea!

I hadn't heard that she had her baby...and on Mother's Day! How appropriate! Wonder if mom was surprised that her baby was a mule! I'm sure she loves him none the less! That's just how we mothers are!
