i figured out what is wrong with the modern generation -- i don't think any of them would think the sound  of a flushing toilet was  extremely funny.. MY generation laughed hysterically at that sound  on the  all in the family show-- with archie bunker....  there were some great shows.. sienfield- a hysterical show about 4 people carrying a  big box around a parking garage--- maude- with her swooping in to say one word or two...  bob newheart  on the phone -trying to explain to the king of england how these colonials took a big leaf, twisted it up ,  put it  in their mouths then  lit the other end.... where are those writers/ shows  now?   "they" say  probbly too expensive to run-- so all we have left are  one or two political comedians -- what we don't think about is  those polititians are reallllly expensive to  laugh at.  i much preferred the flushing toilet.   ** why these things occurr to me is beyond me... welllll .... today alredy i have laughed at some ofo the comments CP's put on the picture of our dogs and donkeys... yesterdays chuckle was 4 pups diggging one hole in the sand "we got to find dat toy before it starts to wian again"  it just fit so perfectly we do have some really tallented CP's out there providing us with good creative material that is just fun to think about. i love a good creative laugh... so i have to also mention some of the  poo pickers we get are great too... i try and read alot of them at mail call--and i get a second laugh when one of the volunteers tells me she gave a ahndfull to a neighbor to try and the neighvbor claled back laughing at  the comment on th e back...like.....  "I HAVE DAYS WHEN MY LIFE IS ONE TENT AWAY FROM A CIRCUS"  somehow i can relate to that one.   **** donkeys---   i am having slightly better feeilngs about them-  thanks to everyone who watched them all night, i got reports that they both are trying to eat and drink-- also reports of poo production and color of urine..  you can not beat these camera people !!!!  actually i sent the report to bryan  he will get a kick out of it--secretariat never had better surveillance... ** for all the people that object to antibiotics useage... if anything saves these it will be that... i panic when they lie down and cough so hard, i am afraid that they'll push out the foal.... so far so good...  donkeys are prone to  lung worms in the wild... and these were probably that.. so when the vet at quarentine de- wormed them, it might have caused lung complications-- (that is just a carlene concept... based on  zero medical experience--- but next time lets not worm til they are settled in their new homes.... ) janine thinks they were in some farm situation where the person ws into raising mini mules... because they were sent to slaughter with a palomino pony stud-- palomino being MO's color. so if we are lucky and they do have healty foals.. next question will be is it a donkey or a mule???-- not always obvious... ***** antibiotics..... i honestly do not know how mr purdue can raise chickens without any antibiotiscs at all... i question that... because  "chick starter " feed is medicated--- and i have found.. if i don't use it , i lose many chicks  that i don't lose when i use it.. certainly after a week or two i run out of starteer and begin ot feed regular stuff and they do fine... but to start them  we really need and use medicated. ( fyi.... it is specific... i think you should not use it on ducklings or turkeys?????? read the labels).... **** a little short.. i want to go and cut up anothre apple and see if that helps... and also give the shot, change that dish of food that  i am sure the birds have be sxxxxxxx in all night i-- and square  and lower the water buckets-- i saw "dotty"  trying to drink and it was a few inches higher than convenient. last night  i think the grey donk got the name GG.  *****   hippo cake day  2 ewes.... ! ****
