Longhopes Halloween

On Saturday, I attended the Halloween Fundraiser at Longhopes Donkey Shelter in Bennett, Colorado.

I was accompanied by my barn buddy, Karen. I made her pose with the Jackass Blvd sign because I make everyone do that.

We skipped the food  and activities and headed straight to the corrals.

To our great delight, every single donkey was dressed for the occasion.

There were lots of hats, both big...

and small.

There were bows,

bunny ears, 

 stockings,

halos... 

and devil horns. 

I don't know who was in charge of dressing these donkeys, but I have an issue with this one. Clearly, he is not a devil!

There were also a lot of headbands.

Apparently you can put a headband on a donkey and he will wear it all day without complaint. 

Amazing! 

It's been more than a year since my last visit to Longhopes, but there were a few familiar faces. This is Hattie. She is forty two years old. 

And this is Nacho. He used to be quite shy, and I remember watching James work very hard to gain his trust.

He's a lot more confident these days. In fact, I had trouble getting his picture because he was constantly surrounded by a sea of people.

This was such a fun day, both for the people...

and the donkeys!

Thanks for going with me, Karen. Let's do it again next year.
