scots book "knot today" is a darn good read-- i forget teh details of when it officially comes/came out in print-- like maybe yesterday?? i know my copy is labeled "draft" - he does give a pretty accurate description of crazy acres with danes, donkeys , guinea hens and wanda with a balloon tied to her back-- i don't know if it will help him but in good ole amazon style-- they offer "people who bought this book also bought..." make way for donkeys" ?????? not realizing there is a logical connection.
**
speaking of donkeys---- we have a semi serious situation.. janine says she paid for teh "neutering" of the last two donkeys... now i do not propose to be an expert on male appendages, but where i would expect to see 2 relatively insignificant "containers" the contents of which are ordinarliy removed during neutering,,,,, they don't look empty to me.. and as of early this morning, the looked perfectly functional-- where only a problem with geometry and one other male donkey prevented teh success of donkey reproduction for a female who was obviously "flagging".
the only other fact i know about donkeys is---- when neutering a male donk, it is necessary to take one stitch-- which is not necessary with bulls and horses-- now if teh vet who was supposed to have done the neuter job, did not stitch that "bleeder" maybe the satchels just got filled with blood... which would make them look "real" ... maybe--
i am gong to feel very foolish to have to call bryan and ask him to come out and get under and look for evidence of scar tissue...
however ---- feeling foolish never bothered me before. - both these 2 males are fairly wild.... and bryan is maybe teh only person i know who could deal with teh problem.

or we could just wait...... gestation is 12 months with a donk. somebody ought to write down the date that the little brown donk was in heat.. nothing happened that i could see-- but i did not watch all night either...

Dear Carlene,
Hope all is well. Pixie and I have been very busy with enjoying the fresh summer air. We have been doing our normal routine along with going to the park and going out to the park.
It’s amazing how fast we adapted to learning how to have her help me up off the grown with one arm. My shoulder recently came out of socket and I have to be very careful not to use my arm as it slips out very easily still. We are going to PT 2xs a week to hopefully strengthen all the ligaments so I can avoid a surgery. Pixie has been a great help and all the staff at Pt absolutely adore her.
Today was super hot out and while out my legs gave out and all I could think was how blessed I am to have received Pixie cause kept me upright and able to continue with my daily activities.
Thank you so much for giving me my independence back and to be able to keep moving forward.
Stacy & Pixie
