WHOA....   I GET ALOT OF THESE.....
Good afternoon.  I have been a silent CP for about 3 years and have wanted to come visit for a long time from Maine.  Can you tell me if we can come down on Sundays (not sure of date yet)?  Do we have to make appointment or let you know ahead of time? Would we be able to see all the dogs and visit? 
Thank you for your time.  Congratulations on the newest litter !!

 OF COURSE YOU CAN COME VISIT---  CAmera people are welcome anytime.. for 2 reasons...
#1.  you are supporting this place with your $10 chicken bricks....
#2.  you all know your way around from watching the cameras- so expect us to keep working and  you can make your own coffee and hAVE A LOOK AROUND.  you are welcome to wander all over...  anyone in  PURPLE SHIRT SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS...
COMING TO VISIT  OVERNIGHT AND VOLUNTEER MEANS  ARRAINGE IT WITH PAM- AND EXPECT TO BE UP AT 7AM FOR COFFEE AND WORK... ( UNLESS YOU FLEW IN ON A REDEYE... WE AIN'T A SPA)
WE EVEN HAQVE "FLYING IN"   ORGANIZED... WITH PAM'S HELP--  MAKE PLANS WITH HER.. AND WHEN YOU ARRIVE, GET ON THE BUS TO PEABODY-- ONCE ON THE BUS, CALL THE OFFICE NUMBER, AND SOMEONE WILL MEET THE BUS YOU DON'T NEED TO RENT A CAR...

NOW ABOTU THE TERRIBLE LACK OF  PREPARING KIDS TO FIX ANYTHING.....
Hi Carlene,
Re:. Mechanics
My friend's husband owns Family Car Care in Gloucester.  Due to family health problems they have been short two mechanics for over a year.  He has been diligently seeking experienced mechanics during that time while becoming more and more exhausted trying to keep up and keep his customers happy.  He can't find even one to apply!  You are correct and they feel the same pain and frustration.

COLLEEN ( WHO OWNS A SIGNIFICANT GROOMING BUSINESS..) WAS KIDDING.... I WAS NOT.... WHEN SHE TOLD OF  HER DOG DRYING EQUIPMENT THT HAD BROKEN- AND NO ONE  WOULD EVEN TRY TO FIX IT... I TOLD HER TO  BRING IT HERE AND LEAVE IT ON THE TABLE IN THE G TENT---   BUD WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STAND LOOKING AT A BROKEN ELECTRICAL DEVICE, AND IT MIGHT GET FIXED.... MIGHT NOT TOO... BUT IT WAS NO GOOD THE WAY IT WAAS....

IF I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL TODAY, I WOULD FORGET COLLEGE, BUT INSTEASD GET A PLUMBERS LICENSE, A ELECTRITIANS L.ICENSE AND ANY OTHER TECH SKILL-- AND  THEY MY WEALTH WOULD BE ASSURED..  I KNEW A GUY WHO DID THAT-- GEORGE MURPHY- BRIGHT GUY.. LICENSED TO DO EVERYTHING-- AND WAS , IN TEH "NORMAL"  WORLD ,A ROCKET SCIENTIST...

PARTIAL VENTING...  I GET ALOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE  EMPTY HAY FEEDERS AND POOR STARVING DONKEYS--- 
FIRST PROBLEM.... IF THEY WERE HUNGRY THEY WOUDL CLEAN UP EVERY STRAND OF HAY ON THE GROUND AROUND THE HAY FEEDER...AND THEN EAT EVERY LEAF... AND THEN THE BARK OFF TREES- AND EVEN THE WOOD FENCING....    BUT THEY DON'T....  GRANTED MO AND P0OCKETS- AND THAT ONE OTHER DARK NEW ONE.. MIGHT NEED A LITTLE GRAIN---  WHICH THEY WILL EAT IN 189  SECONDS-- AND THEN GO BACK TO HAY...

FROM ANNE FIrESTONE-  donkey rescueR  NEW HAMPSHIRE
 I recommend a dry lot for all donkeys for at least part of a 24 hour period. They do need to graze for their behavioral needs to be properly met, but their grazing time needs to be supervised. Please be aware that allowing a donkey to become obese is shortening their overall life span and can, and often does lead to a myriad of other health related issues.
