I am the founder of Heehaw Forever. I am a lover of donkeys who
would like to meet other donkey lovers so I can spend time with
people who share my love for these sweet little animals. To me
there is nothing more precious than the sight of these creatures
curled up with me while I read under a tree or watching a group of
them play flag football. If you are as passionate as I am about
these creatures, please contact me at
