Not so much funny but memorable: Heidi and Molly killed a skunk in the yard - 2 in the morning. OMG - it took more than an hour for the "regular" skunk smell to develop. Both dogs had skunk spray all over their eyes and noses so I washed their faces with Nature's Miracle. Did I remember to put on gloves? Nope - it WAS 2 in the morning and I was not exactly awake.

Another memory: When my sister and her family came to visit, Melissa - darling niece - wanted to ride the donkey. Jackson was not so enamored with the idea, so every day, we would cajole the beast to do a couple of rounds for the girl. Last day of vacation, I looked out the window and saw Melissa riding by on Jackson. A quick tally indicated that she was out there on her own. Smart girl had tied a carrot to a stick and dangled it in front of Jackson's nose to keep him going. It was a quite a sight.
