paraprosdokian IS THE WORD OF THE DAY-- IT IS THE KIND OF SENTENCE WHICH STARTS OUT NORMALLY AND THEN GOES SOUTH.. THE WOMAN WHO WROTE HARRY POTTER WAS GREAT AT THAT... WHICH IS WHY I ENJOYED READING THOSE HARRY BOOKS EVEN IF I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM AT ALL. ( BINGO)
THAT IS A NEW WORD FOR ANNE ( AKA SEMICOLON ANNE) . IT IS HARD TO STUMP HER BECAUSE BEING DANISH, ENGLISH IS HER 17TH LANGUAGE AND SHE KNOWS ENGLISH BETTER THAN I DO,,, OBVIOUSLY....
WE ARE TRYING TO WRITE AN INTERIM REPORT FOR EXPLORE--- BASICALLY WE HAVE ACHIEVED WHATEVER WE SET OUT OT DO ... WITHTHE EXCEPTION OF THE DRIVEWAY--- THE FUNDING FOR WHICH GOT SOAKED UP BY THE FANCY DRAIN IN THE NEW DOG HOUSE... SO WE BOUNCE OVER THE POTHOLES ( AKA SPEED BUMPS) FOR ANOTHER YEAR... NOT A PROBLEM.....IT GIVES TEH MECHANICS AT COUNTRY MOTORS SOMETHING TO FIX...
THE MECHANICS THERE HAVE HAD A HARD TIME EVER SINCE I GAVE UP DRIVING THOSE OLD AMBULANCES. I LOVED THOSE VEHICLES-- AND TEH NOISE MAKING DEVICES ON THEIR ROOF'S... AS I AGED, I ENJOYED HAVING THE GENERAL PUBLIC JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY AT INTERSECTIONS.. OF COURSE THERE WAS TEH ADDED ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO FIND THEM IN A PARKING LOT. PLUS THEY HAD CABINETS FOR COLLECTING CRAP... THE LAST ONE SERVED AS A PLACE TO KEEP BAGS OF DOG FOOD WHICH... FOR A YEAR WAS RAT PROOF- ONCE TEH RATS DISCOVERED IT THEY PUT DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT WOULD PUT RT 66 TO SHAME AS THEY SET UP THEIR OWN STORAGE SYSTEM UNDER THE HOT TOP OF THE ALLEYWAY BY THE DONKEY STALL..
RODENTS MAKE AN INTERESTING STUDY-- FIRSTLY -- HOW WE HAVE T RAINED KIDS TO THINK RATS ARE EVIL-- PERSONALLY I FIND RATS TO BE A CONSTANT IQ TEST AND ETIMES I DON'T DO AS WELL AS THEY DO. THERE IS A CHIPMONK I HAVE KNOWN FOR 3-4 YEARS NOW-- IT RUNS ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY FROM LAUNDRY TO CHICKEN COOP EVERY HOUR OR SO.. ALL SUMMER. IT IS A WIDE OPEN RUN ACROSS TRAFFIC DESPITE HAWKS AND RIDICULESSLY INADEQUATE GREAT DANE PUPPIES TRYING TO CATCH IT. WHEN YOU HAVE CHICKENS-- AND FEED THEM BY TOSSING CORN ONTO THE GROUND, YOU HAVE "RODENTS" OF ALL VARIETIES.
SPEAKING OF RODENTS, THE PEOPLE FROM FLORIDA TO TENNESSEE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH LARGE RODENTS.... VERY LARGE RODENTS.. EXTREMELY LARGE RODENTS.. IN THE FORM OF WILD PIGS -- THEY ARE SUPER ADAPTABLE-- THEY EAT ANYTHING AND ARE INTELLIGENT. A FEW YEARS AGO WE WERE AT SOME ADI CONVENTION AND I TOOK A RIDE ON THOSE SEGWAY THINGS AROUND A PERFECT COMMINUTY.. I ASKED THE GUIDE WHY ALL THE FLOWERBEDS WERE TORN UP AND WAS SHOCKED TO HAVE HIM SAY "PIGS".. I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW IN THE MANY ACRES OF HOT TOP- THAT THESE OVER 100 POUND ANIMALS COULD HIDE AND SURVIVE... BUT THEY ARE NOT ONLY SURVIVING. BUT THRIVING. I AM TOLD THEY ARE A THREAT TO FARMERS CROPS - AND MOVING NORTHWARD...

Bella and George had a great day at school. Bella has been working on using her foot more but the outcome is that by the end of the night her hip is really bothering her. She wants to keep trying even though she is sore. George is getting back in the routine of working since he has pretty much had the last
6 weeks off. Even though he stayed with Bella he was t really helping her walk. He either walked with her as she was in the wheelchair or he walked next to her while she used 2 crutches but now after a 6 week vacation he has to get back to work. This girl needs her pal again. This is just the beginning of a
long road of getting bella back to running and riding her bike. We still have to consider doing the left foot once this one heals enough. But looking at the before and after pictures of her feet even though they are full of scars they look more comfortable. Tonight she climbed in bed around 5:30 and didn't
really leave it again. Learning to walk again takes a lot of work and effort. She is happy to have her puppy sleeping with her again now that it is colder. Bella's goal is to be able to walk up to Dr. Karlin in 2 weeks when we go back for her next appointment. She him her great progress. So she keeps working
hard and doing her exercises. She is a fighter! Thanks for saying hi and checking in. Love Bella and George 👧🏼🐶💕
