can anyone believe that Rafer Johnson is 8 years old???
I don't know how this sweet and handsome donkey has grown to be 8 years old but he has. We served apples and carrots and watermelon slices for his party and a good time was had by all.
Kate, his mom Contessa started giving birth in the pasture and Rafer was emerging as they led her (quickly) to the nursery stall. Rafer Johnson was a wonderful Olympic athletic runner so they named Rafer because he was "running before his feet even hit the ground."
Billie, firstly, I too can hardly believe Rafer Johnson is EIGHT years old. Secondly, I am so proud of you for remembering EXACTLY how he got his name!

Happy Birthday handsome! I can't believe it's 8 years already. I remember when he came to live with you.time flies....
Arlene, time does fly. I still think of Rafer as a youngling. :)

Marty, I love how you and Ken chose such wonderful and special names for each donkey and I won't ever forget Rafer's story. :)
Rafer - the sweetest 8-year-old donkey around. I love it when he gives me a donkey hug!
He's the best 8-year old donkey in the world!
