Saying goodbye

Today was a bittersweet day. I had to send my Mule Jr to a new home. After being born on my place and living here for almost 12yrs I can't keep him on my property anymore. he is jumping my fence to go visit some horses several properties over. He was my baby boy and I will miss him. My heart is broken but the person who took him is like family and I can visit whenever I want.
