    We had to give my donkey and Jakes horse away when he broke his back.
    The man I gave Rosie to had cattle and predators like bear and wolves.
    Rosie was a great guard donk. I loved that donk and horse as did Jake. But we could no longer take care of them at the time. Rather than sell them we gave them away with agreement we could come by and check on them and if they got rid of them we could get them back.
    Rosie would do a number on anything that came into our yard, we didn't have predators, also she was fun.
    Storms and age has made repairs less predator proof, this is where Leo and Foxy come in handy and we don't have to kill anything.

    Whatever the age of retirement, a growing number of retirees are still fit and healthy, both physically and mentally, and want to continue their rewarding and active lifestyle well into their retirement years. Interesting and satisfying hobbies can play a vital role in ensuring that retirees enjoy retirement life. If you are looking for new and unusual hobbies for seniors (and for those a little younger), below is an alphabetical list of those who believe that age should not limit activities and life after retirement.

    Some of the list of the thirty things to do as a hobby above would be too hard, for most of us, but IMO, this one, I could do pretty easily.

    30. Wine Tasting.

    I bought a bow and arrow to learn how to use basically as a hobby, plus a quite form of protection.
    That did not wotk out for me too good, all I got was whelps on my arm.
    Jake did pretty good with it, although neither of us has touched it in several years.

    That's number 4 on the list of 30 hobbies above list. I prefer playing my guitar above that.

    I kind of kicked around the thought of getting a cross bow but they are kind of expensive.

    Are you still kicking the idea around Mary, or did you get one?
