• 0:01
  Speaker 1: of infant yes email of in Truss. Go ahead and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: put up that picture, Katie, if you would. Yesterday we
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: talked about Aunt Jeff's, the old mule up in Idaho.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: This will all stem from a X pole. We did,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: how do you pamper your pets? I think it was
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the very last call we had on that ex pole
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was from a woman in Idaho, Kimberly, and she said, well,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we have this old mule. Her name is Aunt Jeff's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: or his name, I don't know, it's Aunt Jeff's, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that the mule is pampered gets just the best of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the oats. And Gina remembered a half a loaf of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: white bread every single.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Day is a pampered mule.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: So Kimberly has sent us an email all the way
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: from Idaho. Hello, Lords, I was considering calling in to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: answer your questions about Aunt Jeff, but I get really nervous,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so writing this email is better for me. My name
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is Kimberly. I'm originally from Ogden. I've been a listener
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety six and I actually remember Carry and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Bill coming to a dairy by my house when I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: was eleven. Okay. We moved to Preston, Idaho in twenty
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Shortly after we moved, we were given a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: horse for my daughters. She was old and needed a friend.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The horse was not her daughter. A guy I worked
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with was looking to retire his twenty one year old
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: mule named Daisy. Mules can live to be really old
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and wondered if I'd want her for a pasture pal
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: or the horse. We talked with my girls and they
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: thought that would be great. Well before we took the mule,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we went to Rudoso, New Mexico to meet my mom's cousins.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: My grandmother is from that area. So while we were there,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: one of the eighty year old cousins gave us a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: family history packet and in the packet were pictures as
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: far back as the thirties, and one of the pictures
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: listed a name I'd never heard before, and Jeff. We
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: thought that that might be a nickname or short for something,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but nope, her name was just Jeff. Her parents liked
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it and that's what they named her. Okay, Jeff. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there there was a girl named Jeff and in their
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: family history. That day my daughter decided that this would
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: be the name of her mule, because everybody up here
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: has something named Daisy. So once we got Jeff settled,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we got the vet out and he laughed when we
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: told him that she was twenty or so. He said, no, no,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this mule is more like thirty. The only teeth she
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: has left are in the front. She eats watermelon very
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: carefully because she doesn't like the rind. She slurps her oatmeal,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and she loves affection. Look at that thing. Look at
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that animal, just living for the affection of Yeah, we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: didn't get her for any other reason than to be
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a friend for old Titus the horse. She talks to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: people as they walk by, yells really loud when somebody
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: pulls into the driveway, runs as fast as her little
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: hooves will carry her when it's time to eat. Where
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we live, animals are treated as tools. We've been told
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you should just put her down, but the vet says
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: she's still eating, so she's fine. She's treated very well here.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: She's learned to open the gate. We've had a couple
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of calls from neighbors saying, Hey, Jeff is out in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the road, or Hi, Jeff is in the Alfalfa Field again.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer we'll have Jeff in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: our barn, but we will cherish her until it's over.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We love Jeff so much. Thanks for letting me listen,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and thanks for making aunt Jeff famous for a minute
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: from Kimberly and Idaho.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I am a fan of a Jeff that is a that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Is a really touching email. Yeah, I'd like to. I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: think we should go up and meet Jeff. It's it's unreal.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It's not realistic to think that Jeff could come down here, now,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is it a gee offer? J j E f F
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: j e f F And I see what town and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I know, is this impressed? How far I'm tempted to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: go up and meet Jeff in person? And I mean
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna see if I can arrange that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'll go up and do some some on the spot reporting.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And you know, Craig Worth would be all over that,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it would you know, it's the kind of story he
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: would just I got to.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Get a hold of Craig. I talked or emailed with
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Craig a little while ago.
• 4:56

• 5:00
  Speaker 2: thing that he would do exactly.

• 5:04
  Speaker 1: his He's not retired from doing his. That's there's a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: good idea. I'm gonna get a hold of Craig. He'll

• 5:40
