Why today? Well, some accounts claim that the first mules in America arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on October 26, 1785. They were a gift from King Charles III of Spain.
Just for fun, I looked up some famous mules. Here they are.
Ruth- Festus’ mule from ‘Gunsmoke’
Blue- from ‘The Waltons’
Gus- from the 1976 Disney movie ‘Gus’
Francis- from the 7 movies about a talking mule, which led to the classic
Mr. Ed television series
Idaho Gem- first member of the horse family to be cloned
So if you feel the need to be stubborn today, you have a good excuse. Just say you are celebrating National Mule Day!
