The black bears arrived early this year usually they come in time for the black berries (August) and a big surprise a baby bear. This is the second time we have seen baby bears in twelve years what a treat.

How do we keep the bears out of our yard?

* Never leave dog food, bird food etc. out for them

* Own a couple of big dogs

* Never leave garbage cans outside

How do we keep our donkeys and horse safe?

Planning comes first and then the equine can come home!  We installed horse wire on the paddock and hot wire on the bottom and top to prevent any predator from coming into the paddock.  We never let them out to graze in the green and wooded paddock without being home to watch and ensure no predators are around.


The way we look at it the bears lived here long before we moved in, they have the right to run on the back five acres and be bears.  :)

What do you think about wildlife and bears?

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Deep Blue Crescent Lake Oh How I Have Missed You


“As a young girl I can remember going camping with my family to Sol Duc Hot Springs in the Olympic National Park as soon as we started circling around Crescent Lake I would get excited as the road feels like you are almost in the lake as you circle around it and the bonus we were close to the hot springs.  Soon it would be time to swim in the pool, eat camping food, ride my bike and get in the hot pools to warm up and do it all over again, oh the life of a kid.”

Here are a few of our photos from last weekend when Western Washington State was in the 70′s and 80′s a wonderful surprise from GOD.

Select Crescent Lake Lodge nestled in the Olympic National Park.  I pray one day you can experience this magnificent sweet place in the Olympic National Park of Washington State.

Cindys BLM donkey

Take Action

Please help turn this bill into a law across the country that will prohibit the slaughter of horses, donkeys and mules for human consumption and export for slaughter. Contact  your US Representative today.  Support H.R. 1094!  Please select this link to send your Congressional Representative your vote to Stop horse, donkey and mule slaughter for human consumption.

Select  H.R. 1094: To prohibit the sale or transport of equines and equine parts in interstate or foreign commerce for human consumption.

Sponsor:Rep. Patrick Meehan [R, PA-7]

Endorsed by Int’l Fund for Horses

We endorse this bill because it not only prohibits horse slaughter for human consumption on U.S. soil but also the export of live horses for slaughter for human consumption.

Please re-blog, share on your social media sites and ask your friends and family to take 30 seconds to Stop horse slaughter in America for human consumption.  This is a humane issue as well as a human health issue.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

No Place Closer To GOD Than In A Garden


Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm

Sharing a few precious photos of my garden is indeed a treat as each one of these plants were planted by me as a baby, I prayed over each and every one as I added them to the soil.  GOD is amazing! Gardening in the Pacific Northwest is truly a special treat.

Gardening is truly a rewarding hobby it is the gift that keeps on giving even after we are long gone and moved into heaven.  Enjoy!

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Golden Alpine Larches reflecting in the turquoise waters of Crystal Lake

Our goals for the two days in the Lower Enchantments were modest: we wanted to explore the shores of Inspiration Lake and Talisman Lakes, and hike up to Gnome Tarn to get the classic and oft-repeated photograph of Prusik Peak reflecting in the tarn. Distances are not long up here, so our day hikes were to be at a leisurely pace, allowing us to photograph these Indian Summer days to our heart's content.
