THE BELLA AND GEORGE VIDEO
HAS 2.5 MILLION IN 18 HOURS...

********
I WAS SO MAD AT TRYING TO WRITE THE DD YESTERDAY AND HAVING THIS MACHINE SCREW IT UP, I STARTED ROARING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO GO TO COSTCO TO BUY ANOTHER ONLY TO HAVE DONNA COME RUNNING AFTER ME TO TELL ME I STILL HAD CURLERS IN MY HAIR....
***
TODAY US ANOTHER "BIG CHUNK" DAY---BIG CHUNK MEANING I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT HIRING SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT US, PLUS COST A BIG CHUNK OF MONEY...
RYAN HAS CUT ALOT OF TH E SMALLER TREES BEHIND THE ARENA---WHICH MADE A BIG PILE OF "BRUSH" -- IMPOSSIBLE TO GO FURTHER WITHOUT MASSIIVE HELP.. LIKE A COMMERCIAL CHIPPER--AND WHILE THEY ARE HERE , IF THEY WOULD DROP TEH REMAINING TREESS ABOUT 6" DIAMETER... RYAN TRIED ONE YESTERDAY AND IT GRABBED THE SAW--- WITH FEAR... I CAREFULLY PUSHED IT OVER WITH THE TRACTOR..... THAT DID IT...THE PROFESSIONALS CAN DO THE REST...
IT WILL BECOME OUR PARKING LOT----ALSO TO BE RIDDEN ON BY JANINE.
*****
AND MORE DONKEYS HAVE ARRIVED-- ACTUALLY 2 DONKEYS AND A FAT PONY.... I DON'T THINK THE PONY IS A MINI HORSE... JUST A SMALL PONY... THE DONKEYS ARE PATHETICALLY THIN AND IN NEED OF SOME GROCERIES... YOU HAVE TO GO PRETTY FAR TO STARVE A DONKEY---- THEY ARE SUCH EASY KEEPERS... IT LOOKED LIKE ONE OF THOSE CASES WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE HEALTHY TO HAVE SURVIVED IN THAT CONDITION.
I CAN REMEMBERWHEN A BG OF HORSE FOOD WAS $5.76 A BAG OF 50 POUNDS --NOW IT IS $16.78 FOR 37 POUNDS.... NO WONDER HORSE PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE...YET DONKEYS NEED SO LITTLE GRAIN..
*****
AND SPEAKING OF CONDITIONS--LIKE PREGNANCY WE WILL DO SOME CREATIVE CARPENRY
AND SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME PRIVACY FOR OUR EXPECTANT MOTHER. MY INSTINCT IS TO THROW THE NON PREGOS OUT- LEAVING THEM IN THE PASTURE WITH HAY AND WATER-- THEY ARE WILD ANIMALS YOU KNOW... AND SPRING IS NEARLY HERE... THEN MOM CAN HAVE THE STALL TIL TEH BABY CAN FOLLOW HER WELL -- LIKE A WEEK...
IT IS10 FEET FROM KENNEL 10-- SOMETIMES IN STALLING WIRESS, HEY LEAVVE A LOOP.. MAYBE WE COULD GET TEH CAMERA OVER THERE????? JOYCE???????

HI CARLENE HOPE ALL IS WELL AT CRAZY ACRES!
JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON MY SWEET GIRL LYDIA. :~)
SHE IS DOING VERY WELL. SHE HAD HER 3 YEAR CHECK UP WITH THE VET WHICH THE VET IS VERY HAPPY WITH HER AND GAVE HER A STELLAR REPORT!
WE HAD A NOT SO ACTIVE WINTER, WITH SEVERAL NEW DOCTORS AND APPTS. AND OF COURSE, LYDIA IS AS AMAZING AS EVER! SHE HAS MANY NEW FANS! WE ARE NOW GETTING OUT AND ABOUT MORE WITH SPRING IN THE AIR, AND FEELS SO GOOD!
KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR THE NY TIMES AS I WAS INTERVIEWED REGARDING THE WATER CRISIS INVOLVING PFOA SHOWING UP IN WELLS IN NORTH BENNINGTON VT. I USED TO WORK FOR THE COMPANY THEY ARE SAYING WAS RESPONSIBLE, SO I WAS INTERVIEWED OVER THE PHONE. THEY SENT A PHOTOGRAPHER TO MY HOME TODAY TO TAKE PICTURES OF LYDIA AND I FOR THE ARTICLE. HE SAID IT WILL BE IN THE NY TIMES WITH IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, MAYBE EVEN TOMORROW, SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP..
I DID MENTION SDP AND HOW AMAZING IT IS :D
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO, AND TO ALL WHO WORK SO HARD TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DONATE THE AMAZING GIFTS YOU GIVE TO MAKE OTHERS LIVES SO MUCH BETTER!
FOREVER GRATEFUL,
ANNETTE & LYDIA

W/R/T THE TYPE/SPACING ETC
I NOW TYPE THE DAILY DOGGIE IN A WORDXXXX WHATEVER AND COPY AND PASTE IT
THIS MACHINE DOES HAVE SOME BUG--I CAN SIT AND TYPE IDENTICAL THINGS IN BOTH COMPUTERS AND GET A TOTALLY DIFFERENT REACTION.
GOOGLE MA[PS-- TRYING TO LOCATE AN ADDRESS, WOULD NOT LET ME ENTER THE ADDRESS.... JUST ZOOM ON ANYWHERE--- WHICH DID NOT HELP
WORST CASE IS THE TOP PART OF AN EMAIL GOT SQUISHED OFF THE SCREEN- AND I ALMOST ANSWERED THAT EMAIL BASED ON THE BOTTOM OF TEH EMAIL ONLY...WHICH WOULD HAVE AFFECTED A DOG BADLY... SO I CAME APART AND WENT TO COSTCO AND BOUGHT A LAPTOP THING ..... ONTO WHICH I WILL DOWNLOAD NOTHING,
MOST ANNOYING IS I CAN NOT MAKE IT SCREW UP-- SO THEREFORE I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY... DRIVING ME NUTS.. WORSE...
