JAN 2 2022
i think i have 2 horses now...----taxi is perfect for sure... but slightly too perfect for me to just sit around the yard on-- and to see her leaping over the rocka and fallen trees in her pasture. only points out. that is not my preference... i want to quietly walk around and have zero interest in leaping walls...--
so start with thAt fact.
next fACT. NOW WHY WOUlD JANINE SPEND HOURS DECIPHERING THE ELECTRONICS OF THE GUEST HOUSE????? JANINE SPENT HOURS YESTERDAY SO WE ( MOSTLY I AS IT TURNED OUT) COULD WATCH THE HORSE SALES IN LEBANON ??PENNA??/ WHICH IN MY OPINION. .... IS ONE STEP BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER PENS SALES... OF NEW HOLLAND PENNA.... -- SOMEBODY FIGURED OUT MANY PEOPLE ARE DESPARATE TO FIND A WAY TO SELL A HORSE THEY CAN NO LONGER FEED--- SO THIS SALE DOES VERY BRIEF "SOUNDNESS EXAM" AND CHECK. AGE. ETC.
THE y GIVE SELLERS 30 SECONDS OF MICROPHONE description and then maybe 3 minutes running back and forth in front of the crowd while the auctioneer puts out his garbled comments and people bid ----- it seemed to me that horses were going through that ring in about every five minutes -----apparently they also will list a lot of these horses somewhere online ahead of time with comments and Janine found this one Clydesdale as in Budweiser Clydesdale hitch type that was RIDDEN. en by old lady who no longer could keep her and she would be for sale she was black and white so it goes through janine's head I can see the wheels turning now that that is perhaps a better more suitable horse for me as a stand around the yard not move around too much that a horse that's very capable of galloping over the fields and probably would never even think of going much beyond a very slow trot which is exactly the way I think of riding a horse at this point ---------but the galloping over the fields a great big Black Horse it's a very desirable thing for an awful lot of people and they will pay an awful lot of money for it so my guess is she knows somebody who would pay a lot of money for taxi if she could figure out a way to RE SEAT. me on some other beast of burden and ----at which point maybe it was Goldie -------she provides this black and white Clydesdale.. so several people including the horse bunch. that Janine hangs with ----sat and watched couple hundred horses go through that ring while waiting for this Clydesdale they kept saying only 10 more horses only five more horses and then we sit there for another 20 horses and finally out. comes the Clydesdale and it is a lovely looking animal and very nicely behaved ... and Janine bought it... by way of her connections with some woman at the sale who bid for her.. so Janine had given her a maximum bid and we sat there and the GAVEL fell it's very exciting until we found out that she was INDEED the winner.....
Maybe it was goldie manipulating Janine. But for her to decide to redo the electronics of the guests house,,,, she had something else I mind.....
Wanna bet she has a buyer for taxi...???? which If the next horse is what it looks like she is... it will be a good step forward.... and her name will be. UBER. .
Janine had bought another horse earlier that night -----sort of a generic nice looking horse for Matt to work with and get into a saleable condition---- at which point Janine will sell. her to somebody---
so to explain the rest of the details here------ apparently at this auction if you buy a horse you can keep it there for a week while you arrange transportation now Janine with This equine rescue network she's connected to somebody who did the bidding for her and after the gavel fell on the first horse very promptly she got a confirmation number on her cell phone and had to immediately call them and confirm the bid .. sitting waiting for the confirmation number for the Clydesdale took a little longer and was very nerve wracking but suddenly the four digit number came through and she had called right back.. after that there is something about quarantine and transportation and the guy that drives cattle around and horses and there's a great big long trailer that can barely turn around in our yard the whole thing will fall together hopefully and in a week or two the horse will arrive at our house in which case we'll get a good look at see what happens what . what exactly going on my guess is it's a nice quiet draft horse that would not dream of jumping a stone wall .

now to get back to the business of service dog project
Lynn is feeling much better or at least sounding much better testing negative two or three times in a row but she has decided that masks are to be mandatory inside the buildings here at service dog project and that seems to me a very realistic rele at the moment.

and tthe biggest new of the day is for all the worrying i did... our chicken bricks have very nearly sold out the purple division ALSO..... !! strongest december/january ever....LOTS OF keep up the good work COMMENTS... I WILL DO THAT...
donna tells me it will be the "flying blue egg". to determine the purple section winner. because all the stores around here seem to. be minus rit purple dye. 4 cp's have ordered us purple dye. 3 bottles each. so we will be swamped in it next week.... the origional 2100 briick winner will be determined the usual way--- BU THE. CHICKENS
where we do the shatting. .. has yet to be deterermined... in the past....we have squeezed the table in our mail calL area.. of our living room.... it sure is warmer there even if you do have to crawl around sofas.... but probablu pour least sensable covid area... --- so ... ??? the arena??? there is that "carlene warmer". ( keroscene bullet heater...).
