COURTNEY ( EXPLORE'S COURTNEY) CAME HERE YESTERDAY--- WITH LU ( ECAD)-- SHE CAME FROM CALIFORNIA FOR SOME GROUND BREAKING BIT - WITH THE SHINY SHOVELS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS. ECAD IS BUILDING A MASSIVE FACILITY....WITH BUILDING INSPECTORS-- GOOD LUCK ! IT WAS FUN TO HAVE HER SEE ALL THE THINGS IN REAL LIFE, HAVING SPENT 4 YEARS WATCHING CAMERAS..
SHE HAS LULU YOU KNOW... LULU WAS CHAOS PUP-- ( HER ORIGIONAL NAME WAS "ORDER" ( OUT OF CHAOS))--- ANNE AND I TOOK TO CALIFORNIA HOPING LULU AND CHARLIE WOULD "HIT IT OFF" BUT TYPICAL DDANE.. LULU PREFERRED COURTNEY-- SO LITERLLY TEH LAST MINUTE BEFORE ANNE AND I WERE TO GET IN THE CAB FOR THE AIRPORT, COURTNEY CAME FLYING IN THE HOTEL AND SAID "I'D LIKE HER" SO I HANDED OVER THE LEASH AND WALKED OUT THE DOOR... THEY HAE DONE WONDERFULLY TOGETHER...
COURTNEY HAS LEARNED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBEDIENCE TRAINING AND EDUCATION... AND HOW LULU IS CAPABLE OF READING WHEN SOMEONE IS UPSET.. AND ACTING ACCORDINLGY-- I SAID I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR TRAINING THAT, BUT I SURE COULD TAKE CREDIT FOR NOT DISRUPTING THE DOGS NATURAL MENTAL ABILITIES...
**********
I DON'T THINK I COULD EVER DEAL WITH ANOTHER BUILDING INSPECTOR SITUATION AGAIN...
SO WE WILL TIPTOE THRU THE FINAL "REPAIR" OF TEH ARENA---
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH WOOD FOR THE "REPAIR"
BASIC REASON IS......IT IS SOEWHAT OF A CONFUSING PLACE... AND ALTHO THE WHITE BUILDINGS COME WITH ALL THE BITS AN D PIECES-- WITH UNEAVEN GROUND + TALL GRASS+ DOGS AND THINGS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOSE ONE PIECE AND YOU CAN NOT GET THE WHITE CLEARSPAN BUILDINGS UP WITHOUT ANOTHER SHIPMENT FORM IOWA... OR SOMEWHERE
IF WE LOOSE A 2X4.. YOU GO ROUND THE CORNER AND BUY ANOTHER.
***
THAT IS... IF I HAD A HORSE TRAILER.... WHICH IS --- BY THIS MORNING ... HOPEFULLY BACK IN MASS... FROPM PENNA.. WITH A LOAD OF RESCUYES.... MOSTLY DONKEYS ?
JANINE CALLED FROM N.Y ABOUT TO CROSS THE HUDSON, ASKING ME ABOUT DONKEY MILK... APPARENTLY SHE HAS A BABY ON BOARD AND MOMMY IS UPSET... I HAD TO SUGGEST "FOAL LAC" AND WENT BACK TO BED.
** I AM TOLD... BY SOME OLDER ITALIAN GRANDMOTHERS- THAT DONKEY MILK IS TEH EASIEST TO DIGEST-- BECASUE..... WHEN I HAD MY HERD OF DONKEYS, I ALWAYS HAD AT LEAST ONE OR TWO NURSING MOTHERS.. AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE DESPARATE FOR SOME DONKEY MILK FOR AN AILING CHILD... THEY WOULD SHOW UP AND WORK AT IT AND BE THRILLED WITH A CUP OF WHAT THEY CONSIDERED " THE CURE" FOR THEIR CGRANDCHILD...
****
WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT THE OLD CURE? TRY THE MODERN CURE OF EATING JELLYFISH SO YOU DON'T GET ALZHEIMERS???
THEN YOU COULD HAVE SOME REALLY CRAZY PEOPLE WHO COULD CONVINCE SOMEONE TO FEED JELLYFISH TO DONKEYS WAS TEH ULTIMATE CURE--
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT.....
