Looking forward to putting it to use. Can't wait

I don't know if the directions are still on the back of a can of Red Devil Lye, but that is what my mom used for directions for making her soap. She would save all the left over cooking grease, when she had enough she would make her soap for laundry. Once made she would pour into half gallon milk cartons for it to cure. After a few days she would remove the milk carton, let it cure for about a month. My job was to grade it up to use for laundry. Floors were mopped with it, dishes were washed in it. bodies were cleaned with it.

My donkey gets milk replace 4 times a day along with Pro Elite Growth and hay & grass. He is 2 months old. We were going to get him when he would be 6 months, but when his mama died, the people ask us if we could take him and raise him. Maybe the stress could be a factor. He has been through a lot. Also any specifics on what to do about the nipping constantly when I am near him?

My donkey has a lot of ear wax, would there ever be a need to clean the wax out? I am new to donkeys. This one is two months old and his mother died. So, I am his mama. Not sure what or how his mother would groom him.

FYI My account was suspended and not by me. Seems as if subjects that had to do with sustainability have  been suspended. Anyone else have that issue?

In the spring my dad would gather the young dandelion plants , chop up the leaves an put them in potato salad. One of those dishes you looked forward to while the getting was good. He also would saute them with onion and when they were just about done he would throw some of our eggs in the skillet scramble them all together and that was a breakfast!
