My twin sister's mothter in-law's mules

I forgot tell you all in my last post that we stopped off to spend on night in Walhalla Washington, and stayed with my twin’s mother in-law. I had met her before and love her dearly; she is such a wonderful woman. She and her husband have three horses, two mules and two draft houses. I loved meeting their extended family. One of the mules loved me. I forget her name, but she was so friendly and loved to have the inside of her ear scratched. I scratched in inside of her ear while she cocked her head towards me so I could reach her ear easier. The whole time I was scratching her ear her eyebrow was moving up and down. It was so funny, it reminded me of when you scratched a dog’s tummy and you can get their back leg jumping up and down. My sister’s mother in-law has trained the mules to be pack animals when go on long rides in the high country. The other mule is going to be trained to be ridden or for pack. Sometimes they train mules to pull wagons. For all of you who do not know a mule is a cross breed from a donkey and a horse. The mother is the horse and the donkey is the dad. Mules are infertile and therefore cannot reproduce. They can breed a female donkey and male horse but they call them something else but I have forgotten what they call them.
