Welcome

to the world of the

          Daily Doggie

Written early morning at Eastern standard time- B.C.( before caffeine) it usually contains the schedule of the day for the animals at Crazy Acres.

I realized newcomers might need a “CAST OF CHARACTERS”  IN ORDER TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND things like.....why I would be crossing the Mystic Tobin bridge  at 4am with  a car full of 15 roosters.

These crazy acres have a history--- It started as a 4H kids yearly  circus-which evolved to ANIMAL EPISODES which provided all kinds of animials for movies, commercials and “appearences”(LIKE A ROOSTER FOR A MOVIE  FILMED IN HARVARD SQUARE) ......  which evolved to Service Dog Project which donated over 200 Great Danes to people with mobility problems..... which evolved to Danes to entertain at senior facilities..... to be joined by Equine Rescue Network which rescues – mostly donkeys,mules, and horses from the slaughter auctions in Pennasylvania... which are then made healthy ( when necessary)  and retrained, and rehomed throughout New England..... All these animals and the acres involved are  “used” as an entertaining   fresh air destination for busses  of seniors -,veterans. and sometimes students..

The names of people involved would be ..

Carlene. At age 86... started all these things.. now retired. But does the daily doggie at 7 am  and Mail Call  5pm mon to fri. lives on the property is  very VOCAL...and can back up trailers....

Janine – daughter--- equine oriented— forced to become a computer camera expert- she can back up a horse trailer (critical in our lives)

Judy- manages entertaining seniors.... we try  to  see  100 people a week with our animals... mostly danes.....  Ex airline—flys easily---

Elizabeth-  Scotland ( you can’t miss the accent- husband Nick)  manages mostly the hooved  animals—noteably. mo the mule and the goats. Snap Crackle and Pop.. running back and forth to a second farm “Meridith” also full of ERN animals.

Carly- younger person runs around and does things/ lives on the property.

Now moving?

 

Elizabeth and Nick and children are moving into the  house

Carlene is moving out of the house – across the driveway to the guest house—until an apartment can be fixed up in the laundry building/

Janine is moving out of the guest house  - to an RV in the driveway--and building a house in Akin ,South Carolina( serious horse country)?for winter use?

Both Elizabeth and Carlene have an incredible amount of STUFF

 

All of this is skillfully managed by GOLDY. .. our Ghost Of the Lefthand Drawer—which is another story.
