i wonder if the news about having to bring your own oxygen tank to the hospital in india... will have any effect on the people in japan carrying signs saying cov is a fake.---- personally... i am pleased to be one of the ones to wear the badge of " i took mine in the arm..." and around SDP. as teh younger and younger become eligible.. i hear comments like "i got the first!!!"
the "taking it in the arm". sticker made me wonder... if 43% of americans are still not intending to get the shot in the arm....... what would be teh percentage if this shot required you get it in your rear... saturday night live would have a field day.
oxygen-- one of my favorite things.. along with water.. so back when this stared i came to a "sale" on those personal o2 generators... so i bought one... and since then i have inherited a second one. which i may have to loan to choas who is having breathing problems........ she is having to struggle to climb the hill. i want to try teh wagon today if i can get someone to help before it rains... it will be necessary to explain to her what we are doing and why.... because as bright as she is... which is significant, i don't think she can forsee a future event... like ..." here i am at the bottom of the darn hill and now she wants to play with getting me in a cart????" .. altho ever since teh tree episode where both bailey and chaos were photographed on the tree limb for teh calendar....she has got to the point of -- like yesterday... when her rear gave out gettin g onto the sofa.she sat and waited for someoen /me... to help lift her up.. a more inexperienced dog would have turned quickly and rushed out of a situation where they could be deamed vulernable by other dogs and subject to attack. most animals are like that.
the zoo... in columbus... had a situation where one of the wild reindeer ?bulls? needed a hoof trim so they shot a traquilizer dart and he slouched down falling asleep... while the crew franitcally chased away all the rest of teh reindeer bulls who thought " great now we can eliminate him"
back to chaos... and bentley--- he has gone thru a stage of not jumping into the car... but if i stand on his right, he will get both front feet in then wait for me to place one rear foot on the step.. at which point he just lifts hinself in. he knows.. and waits... we need to achieve this level of understanding with chaos about tthe little wagon.... which is almost too small for lying down... but my test case.... ... sizzle.. was comfortable sitting...
so there will have to be a "why do i have to do this when i am already in trouble." ... this is where if i can just convince her to have faith, she will quickly see the benefit.. i wish i cou d do it on camera, because it will be interesting... but i can not ask her to go down to the puppy hill camera- which will be an exhausting trip in itself... once she understands. then i will bring her down... assuming we get that far.
it is also supposed to rain at some point. chaos does not do rain./ i just checked teh radar.. ? rain??? it is the dark gree yellow blob of rain til late afternoon.... so maybe then.

animals and their understanding.... there are horses ... then there are mules and donkeys.... the only horse i ever saw that would do anything constructive on it's own was roy roger's "trigger". who i now realize only ran from A to B and photoshop did the rest..
for those oldtimers who were fortunate to know m"mary" around here...will remember the photos of her studying the table saw when the carpenters were helping with the kennel building. there were thousands of times she pulled off something far beyond th capabilities of a horse. one of which was to pull an antique wagon in ipswich 350th aniversary parade..... WITH NO PRACTICE???? 5 POUNDS OF CARROTS
A 6-year-old mule is being hailed a hero after leading two hikers to his owner who had fallen off during a trail ride and was injured as a result.
Isn't it unique that as big as Clyde is and how close he gets to the goats or Harley, he NEVER steps or even accidently bumps into them. He is such a sweetie. YUP... A MULE...
ALTERNATELY... IF YOU DON'T UNDERTSTAND THEM YOU CAN BE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE OF A BATTLE OG IQ's
AND SOMETIMES TEH DONKEYS WIN.
