who missed last night's excitement ?? poppy got her back foot stuck in the chain link fence between the pregos and not pregos... it is that light guage chain link, and so bendable that i assumed if they got a foot in, that they could get a foot out...not true if you do a twist in th emeantime.. phone rang- i sent pam then checked teh camera while the phone wrang again ..- said "got it" slammed the phone and ran for the door... the real hero of the night is tom... who has that shop so clean.... i could find teh bolt cutter and easily snipped the light wwire. luckily too .. i had noticed a panel of fencing behind the dumpster --- that we used to use in hotels for these "santa jobs" light weight aluminun pipes- so we used that to barricade the bottom section of that chain link... is yet to be resolved today.. ? plywood up 30"?? in the meantime... i hung the bolt cutter right outside teh stall.. if that had been a horse ..... well b eing bigger and idiotic it would have really kicked til the chain link did bend certainly i never would have sent pam down to deal with a horse with a caught foot..that is a killer situation...ofteh both horse and pperson who tries to deal.
that is one of the biggest reasons we have donkeys and not horses... very related to my stories of why a horse needs to have blinders on his bridle so he can't see the cart "chasing" him. donkeys are sensible... as witnessed last night....
i figure the episode was goldie warning me to get ready for the painted lady's foaling. it was painfully pointed out to me that i need a huge sweatsuit that i can get into with one pull and fly out the door regardless of what is under teh sweatsuit... given time... i have a snowsuit but that involves 2 arms 2 legs and a zipper which might be too confusing in a half awake state.
please don't send me 47 of them --- i am gong to order some from duluth as soon as i finish this DD.
i am still getting emails about scott's video--- https://mountainlake.org/vch-turning-a-mess-into-a-message/ polly suggested you all put it on your facebook pages-- sounds like a reasonable idea... he is doing a good job... (so is the dog....)

he was lucky that he could not tie a proper knot---- and he was also lucky that i was not shocked by the fact he had a warrant out for his arrest. the reason i was not shocked... was i too have had a warrent to be arrested- a long story about a leash law violation , cocktail hour and not having a$6.00 for bail.. but what it did do ... is that record will prohibit me from getting a top secret clearence again. i hope i don't need it ... as my job was to figure out how to bomb the united states most efficiently... i think what i determined is pretty much "what goes around comes around " and the fall out of a very few bombs will drift all the way round the world.... which should be detrimental to any bombing decision

somebody from maine is in the guest house with a dog..- the fact that i can't rememer the name of either is parr for the course.

KRINGLE AND I ARE MOST THANKFUL TODAY FOR PROGRESS. THE PICTURE DEPICTS US AT A LOVELY MUSICAL PRESENTATION AT A LOCAL COLLEGE. THE STAR OF THE SHOW IS MY GOOD FRIEND'S DAUGHTER, JORDAN, AND LAST YEAR WE ENJOYED HER TALENTS AT THIS SAME THEATER. EXCEPT LAST YEAR INSTEAD OF KRINGLE I HAD A WALKER. THE BUILDING ITSELF IS OLD AND CONSISTS OF MANY STAIRS. LAST YEAR I HAD TO BE ASSISTED TO MY SEAT AND THE WALKER HAD TO BE SECURED ELSEWHERE UNTIL THE END OF THE SHOW. THIS YEAR, DUE TO PROGRESS, KRINGLE AND I SLOWLY WALKED THE STAIRS AS A TEAM AND ENJOYED THE SHOW TOGETHER. IN FACT WE BOTH STOOD AT THE END AND GAVE A STANDING CHEER. THANK YOU, PROGRESS AND NO MORE WALKER! SUPER JOB JORDAN.

before you ask....
i do not have a dog in my bed...... i remember being at some convention with thumper and another person and dog.... staying at some hotel where there were 2 king sized beds-- and figuring thre was room for both thumper and me in one.... not true... he preferred to sleep diagionally and snore, and twitch...... i got very little sleep and decided henceforth--- better alone than in poor company. ( an old mother "used to say" comment)
