SINCE MARY DIED I HAVE GAINED 4.7 POUNDS WITH ALL THE KLINDIKE BARS PEOPLE
KEEP BRINGING ME AS COMFORT FOOD...
I HAVE HAD MUCH TOO MUCH COMFORT--NOW I NEED TO GET ORGANIZED TO FIND
ANOTHER HAPPY WANDERER AROUND THIS FARM.
IT WOULD BE EASIEST TO FIND ONE UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST BECAUSE OF ALL
THE RACE HORSE VANS THAT GO BETWEEN NY AND FLORIDA.. WE COULD CATCH A RIDE ON
THOSE-- AND THEY GO ALOMOST DAILY-- OR THEY DID..
THE CROSS COUNTRY ONES FROM THE WEST COAST ARE MORE WEEKLY. THEN THERE IS
ALWAYS "THE GUY WITH THE TRAILER"
I HAVE BEEN THRU ALL THE FARMS LISTED UNDER MAMOUTH DONKEYS ON GOOGLE...
AND LEFT MESSAGES ABOUT 2 POSSIBLE-- JANINE IS ON IT.. SHE IS CONNECTED WITH THE
HORSE RESCUE CROWD- AND IS LOOKING. SOMETING WILL TURN UP..
I JUST REMEMBERED THE BILLINGS MONTANA HORSE AUCTION
I WENT THERE ONCE AND FILLED A TRAILER WITH 6 HORSES.. THAT WAS FUN...
JANINE MANAGED TO SELL THEM ALL HERE.
AND I KNOW WE HVE CAMERA PEOPLE IN BILLINGS-- GO LOOK- I THINK I STILL HAVE
AN ACCOUNT THERE AND THEY ALLOW BIDDING BY PHONE.
**************
I BETTER GET BAK TO DOGS--
OF WHICH WE HAVE MANY... ALTHO 2 LESS THAN BEFORE...
ALPHY HAS GONE TO HELP AN MS PATIENT IN VERMONT-- FOUND BY ANN (GOOD JOB
ANN) TURNS OUT.... SHE OWNED CESAR-- THAT ONE DOG IN VERMONT THAT I COULD NOT
GET HIS OWNER TO RESPOND TO MY EMAILS----. TURNS OUT-- THE REASON WAS CESAR
KEPT RUNNING AWAY ... ???RUNNNG AWAY??? THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE OUR DOGS KNWO HOW
GLUED TO THE HIP THEY ARE-- SO HE MUST HAVE HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCE IN THAT
HOME-- LEGALLY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO US.. BUT THIS WOMAN HEARD ABOUT
HIM AND TOOK HIM TO HELP WITH HER MS PATIENT .. HE WAS A SUPER DOG - LIVED WITH
HER FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE DEVELOPING A BRAIN TUMOR-- AND WAS PUT TO SLEEP.
WHAT A NICE WOMAN-- SHE DISCOVERED THAT ONCE A DANE OWNER, ALWAYS A DANE
OWNER - AND SHE NOW HAS ALPHY-- A SERVICE DOG IN TRAINING-- BECAUSE SHE KNOWS
THE ROPES AND IS BRITISH.
WHY IS IT I FIND THE BRITISH MORE REASONABLE WITH WHICH TO DEAL. I AM SURE
BRITAIN HAS THEIR FAIR SHARE OF LEGAL NUTS-- BUT I CAN REMEMBER 'NOTHERGWEN' (
MY "FLATMATE" IN SCOTLAND) OFTEN SAYING "WE BRITS JUST DON'T DO THAT"
***
SHE WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT - AND CAME OUT OF IT WITH AN ARM THAT DOES NOT
QUITE STRAIGHTEN OUT.. SHE SAID" IT IS COMFORTABLE AND I AM LUCKY TO HAVE AN
ARM AT ALL"
THERE IS A LAWYER IN BOSTON WITH TV ADS IMPLYING YOU SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO
COMPENSATION IF YOUR FINGERNAIL GREW IN CROOKED.
NO? HOW ABOUT SPILLING HOT COFFEE IN YOUR LAP- SO NOW MCDONALDS HAVE CUPS
THAT SAY "THIS COFFEE IS HOT"
**
AND WHAT HAPPENS IN MANY CASES IS "SORRY WE NO LONGER SERVE HOT COFFEE
BECAUSE YOU MIGHT SPILL IT...."
**
APPLY THAT TO YESTERDAY'S DISCUSSION OF THE FOOLISH CIRCUS- AND IT'S
SIDE SHOW......I WOULD NOT DARE RUN THAT NOW- WE HAD A HOME MADE SLIDE COMING
DOWN OUT OF THE HAY LOFT-- AND ONE OF THOSE ROPE LADDERS THAT TWIST AND YOU FALL
OFF...
NOW THE WORD " LIABILITY " HAS RUINED ALL THE FUN.
*****
AH WELL... SECOND DOG YESTERDAY....
MISSY-- A HORSEY FRIEND OF JANINE'S TOOK BAXTER AS THEIR FamILY DOG-- HE
SHOLD DO VERY WELL THERE WITH THEIR 2 KIDS... AND IF COLLEEN WANTS TO GO VISIT
I AM SURE THT CAN BE ARRAINGED.
WE HAVE A NEW VETERAN APPLICANT/ BUNCH OF KIDS-- WHO ALL TOOK TO GETTING
MAULED BY PUPPIES-- SO WE GOT OUT THE STILTS AND THEY PROCEEDED TO FALL OFF
THOSE. HE SEEMED VERY REALISTIC ABOUT FIRST AID KITS...
I TRY AND MAKE IT CLEAR TO PARENTS-- YOU DECIDE WHAT YOUR KIDS SHOULD DO--
THE WHOLE PLACE IS DANGEROUS.
****
WE HAD A CEREMONY FOR MARY-- AND PLACED A HEADSTONE OVER HER RESTING
PLACE... WELL ACTULLY A HEADROCK WHICH WE ROLLED INTO PLACE WITH GREAT EFFORT.
IT WS APPROPRIATE-- AND JANINE HAD A BUNCH OF FLOWERS.
I THREW THE REST OF THE GRASS SEED WHICH SHE HAD SPILLED ALL OVER THE
SHOP FLOOR- AND TURNED ON THE SPRINKLER
RIP....
*******
THIS MURPHY DAWG----- I WISH WE HAD FIELDS TO PLOW...
HE IS STRONG-- WITH ENERGY TO SPARE... I WONDER IF I CN HOOK THE 2
TOGETHER AND WEAR THEM BOTH OUT AT ONCE...
I HAVE A COLLECTION OF HORSE HALTERS FOR THT PURPOSE... MAYBE TO DAY IS
THE DAY.
*************
AND THE PINK ENVELOPE TIPI FUND HAS COLLECTED A SIGNIFICANT AMT-- SO THE
TIPI PROJECT GOES ONWARD
MARIA SUGGESTED---
ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO COME HERE IN OCTOBER- BUT CAN
NOT-- SHOULD BE HERE IN SPIRIT-- SO IF THEY SEND A POPSICCLE STICK/ TONGUE
DEPRESSOR WITH THEIR NAME/PICTURE ON IT, WE COULD STICK THOSE IN THE GROUND
INSIDE THE TIPI SO THERI SPIRITS CAN ENJOY THE PROCEEDINGS- WHATEVER THEY
ARE.
GOOD IDEA... WE CAN LIFT A PIECE OF THE TIPI SO IT IS VISABLE BY THE
P[UPPY HILL CAMERA...
*************
AND SO IT GOES.
