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 Goldys Farm.
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 hundreds of 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 not only Danes... but “something else” 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...can be very VOCAL.. can back up trailers..and train dogs......usually.sees over 100 assisted living folk weekly with 3 Danes she trained.
**Janine – daughter--- equine oriented expert— forced to become among other things....a computer camera expert- she too 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---like to Copenhagen and back with a puppy in 24 hours.
**Elizabeth- from 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 realllllly critical things/ lives on the farm .
** Wallace ---Goldy found us an ex-bullrider to "gentle" some of these sometimes wild horses that Janine finds in the auction .Wallace can also be called on to lift heavy objects.
So who’s Goldy? Goldy is our Ghost Of the Lefthand Drawer- who appeared several years ago in the form of an odor... the stench lasted over a week.. and suddenly was gone.....leaving ocassionally strange happenings far beyond our control...sometimes very helpful.....
Now who’s moving?
Elizabeth and Nick and children are moving into the "house"
Carlene is moving out of the "house" – across the driveway to the cabin —until an apartment can be fixed up in the laundry building/
Janine is moving out of the cabin - to an RV in the driveway—but also has SO with significant house--and is building a house in Akin ,South Carolina( serious horse country)?for winter use?
Both Elizabeth and Carlene have an incredible amount of STUFF
Got the picture?
