What began as a peaceful kayak trip with friends turned into an unforgettable day back at the ranch.

While Ted floated down the Pack River, the veterinarian unexpectedly performed emergency surgery on Solomon the donkey—right in front of the barn—with Joy serving as his surgical assistant.

After discovering five missed calls and multiple messages, Ted raced home to find Solomon recovering from the removal of a bladder stone nearly the size of a quarter.

Filled with humor, gratitude, and a reminder that God cares for all His creatures, this Morning Brew celebrates compassion, country veterinarians, and one very brave donkey.
