The Wedding Donkey

Wedding Burro is wearing my adjustable burro standard softy yacht rope White halter lead line.

2021 has become a new year for donkeys and weddings, in fact, more and more couples are bringing a little bit of Jesus into their wedding. Yes, I said Jesus, did you know that donkeys have a cross on their back? Yes, all donkeys have a cross on their back even the black donkeys. Trained donkeys are now carrying the drinks, flowers, food video cameras and are totally bringing a blessing to each wedding.

Is It Real Or Fake?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life. When my husband saw this tree he said “This is the one”, no watering, no mess. Well we moved over to the other side and I am here to say this is it! I love this fake tree. Easy to setup and no tree died.

Aging is a process for sure, one I was not ready to embrace as we have always cut our own beautiful fresh tree. We are excited to share the fake tree is amazing. Looks real and takes minutes to setup.

Do you have a fake tree or a fresh tree?

Audio Bible Is A Gift From God

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,

After surviving a life threatening motor vehicle accident I was stuck in bed and a chair for most of three years. I attended physical therapy for three years, two and three times a week. I wore my horse riding gloves to the gym when I lifted weights so I could see myself riding again. People are visual learners too! Select GOD Created A Miracle For Me to read about my journey.

Mind Over Pain And Sorrow:

  1. I had a choice to give up or trust GOD! 
  2. My husband of twenty-four years made the choice to keep our little farm and not give up. He is an amazing man. 
  3. My husband gave me audio of the bible to listen to when I was not strong enough to lift the bible and read it. Select Audio bible.
  4. Our marriage grew stronger not weaker during this time of pain and suffering. 
  5. I learned to not worry about the little things. Pay attention to the good things in life. The news, social media is geared to negative attention. I refused to put any negative information in my head. The pain was constant and this in itself was enough negative energy.
  6. Love Life. Share love, I learned to Blog and I gave free donkey training lessons to people who owned donkeys all over the world. I wanted to continue to use my brain and help others. This is something the bible teaches us. Stop thinking about ourselves and help others. Not easy to do in the beginning but the more you do it the better you feel.
  7. Stop feeling bad about everything I failed at. Let it go! Look forward as GOD gave us eyes in the front of our head for a reason. Learn from our past mistakes but move on!
  8. Meet people, rejoice, laugh, smile and understand that I am lucky. Many people had it much harder than me.
  9. Live my life with a grateful attitude. Surround myself with positive people and energy. 
  10. Dream! Never stop dreaming it is never to late to live your life with passion.

GOD has a plan, he takes one extrovert with big dreams and one introvert and mixes this together to make Mr. and Mrs. Scott Johnson. Thank you Scott! Thank you for making all my dreams come true. Thank you for not letting me lay in sorrow after the semi-truck accident and cry, thank you for not selling my horse and donkeys.  Thank you for giving me four more donkeys and another horse.  Thank you for stepping out of the city life into the life of a farmer. Thank you for living in this tiny 5th wheel with me so we can build our last home.

You are truly a farm man now! Thank you for not turning me in for a younger healthy model after the semi-truck accident, you stuck with me and help me live with the pain every day.  Most men would have walked away but not you, you stood by my side day after day and still when I cry from pain you hold my hand and tell me you love me. I am so much in love with you, more than words can describe.

I love you so much and I want you to always remember that the best thing that ever happened to me in this world is you! You are my best friend, my lover, my husband and my partner in this thing called life. I am forever grateful for every minute, hour and day we have together. We never know when our time is up, so we cherish the moments we get! You always make me laugh when I want to cry, you always tell me things will get better. You are truly an inspiration to me and you Scott Johnson are the man of my dreams. You are my Rock and I pray I am for you what you are for me.

This is my love letter to you in public! I know we are private but today I needed to say thank you, I love you to the entire world. As the last year has been difficult but great things are ahead. We started a new business together Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC and soon GOD will provide the resources to start growing low sugar/protein hay on our farm. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST!

We are now fifty-five and going stronger every day!

 

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

Sunrise, Sunset and First Snow On The New Farm

sunrisesequimwa2013

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,

My husband and I have been so busy I have not had time to blog and share so here is a little update, enjoy!

On December 20th, 2013 we had our first snow of the year on our new farm in Sequim, Washington.  Since we still live on our five acre farm in Kingston, Washington I was not able to see it with my own eyes.  The photos you are about to see were taken by our wonderful new neighbors Dorthy and Fred.  Their home over looks our  twenty acre farm, a gift from Jesus Christ a piece of heaven. Thank you Dorthy and Fred!

The Sequim Gazette had a contest asking when the first snow would land in Sequim?  I took a guess and won December 20, 2013. The only problem was my Facebook name is under Rio Johnson (Rio the mammoth donkey) as you can imagine it was fun to share that I am Melody Johnson and Rio is a Mammoth donkey, the gift card was made out to Rio Johnson at the Sunshine Cafe so it will be interesting when we get time to use it explaining Rio is a mammoth donkey.  We have a business Facebook page named Donkey Whisperer Farm.

Donkey Whisperer Farm Opens For Business On Jan 1st, 2014

.melody@dogs2013newfarm

We purchased twenty acres of farm land in Sequim, Washington the summer of 2013 with the goal of me being able to continue providing virtual training all over the world from my computer to your computer. I provide Donkey 101 and Donkey 102 Training Series E-TRAINING Video On Demand to the world. “I TRAIN THE OWNER TO TRAIN THE DONKEY”. Use your smart device and take me to the farm to train your donkeys. Select ONLINE TRAINING COURSES to order now. We build the worlds best donkey halter as our halters are made to fit the donkey not a horse. 
 
 
2013 – First  comes the hard work as the land is flat with two pear trees, one apple tree and irrigation flowing six months out of the year. We are working on finishing our first major project fencing the entire twenty acres, next comes a road, septic tank, well, MD Barn Master (personal barn), hay barn, shop for farm stuff. After everything is set-up for the equine and our basic needs we will move into our 5th wheel while our one story home is built. Praying everything will be completed by the summer of 2016. 
Update 2/23/2018 
Irrigation was installed the summer of 2016 not bad. Privacy trees were planted in 2016. Our home was built and we moved into our home the winter of 2017.  2018 – We are now working on our hay production business side of the farm. 100% Orchard, low sugar/low protein hay. 
 

A WORLDWIDE BUSINESS! I train the owner of a donkey to train the donkey internationally. Donkeys learn words in any language.

January 1st, 2014 I will be officially open for business! Donkeys will get to stay in their forever homes, and if they must go to a new home they will be trained. The donkey with no social skills ends up in auction is at risk for meat buyers.

I look forward to sharing all I can to help you become the leader of your farm. I have loved animals since I was a child and now GOD has given me my perfect job. The job of sharing the animals perspective and teaching people how to understand them and be patient.

Increasing Our Farm Animals

Our new farm will have Miss Lily, Rio, Rocket Man and two more standard size donkeys (Obo and Tuba) along with another horse for Miss Lily named Trophy a black beautiful saddlebred mare.  Rocket Man will be getting a spotted mini to live with.  We are creating the paradise paddocks for rotation no mud and to keep them all healthy, growing ten acres of Orchard Hay along with our three blonde dogs and two rescue kitties. I can’t wait to share photo’s and video of Miss Lily and the donkeys running on this farm and playing.
