Missing My Barn Manager

So I have been thinking about Christmas coming up and that this is the time of year when most animals think about and want to be with those who mean the most to them.  There is someone I have been thinking about lately who is very important and who loves me.  I haven't seen him in awhile though.  It's been a long while, actually.  I miss him a lot and wish he was here.  I dreamed about him last night.  I dream about him a lot.

I'm talking about our barn manager.  He has been gone for a long time.  He is in a far away land that has a very funny name.  He is helping protect our country.   I think he is very brave to do this.  I pray every night that he is safe and warm and knows that we all are thinking of him. I miss him feeding me and taking care of me and talking to me and giving me treats, but I know that he has an important job to do and that he will be home as soon as he can get here.  I'm pretty sure he misses taking care of me too... well, all of us, really.

I hope he knows that we can't wait for him to come home...  even though waiting is hard. Sometimes it seems like forever.

So please hurry home as fast as you can.  We will all be here, waiting for you to talk to us and scratch our necks and tuck us in...  We miss you...

Love,

Donkey
