Goldys farm is a much better name for our “ESTABLISHMENT”. When we were crazy acres, there were too many other crazy acres and we got lost in the crowd of web pages... howeverrrrrrrr—Janine has been working on it. To the point where you all know more than I do about getting around the web...., thankfully enough to get those $10 hay bales I just bought yesterday---
Details??? You want details???—the first trip was loaded by steve—who owns the hay delivery depot.... and we got 72 bales in the smaller of our two trailers
The second trip was loaded by his helper and we only got 50 in that load...—there are experts in every field !!
And thanks to my “driver of the day” .....nick—of maura fame—he hung in there for 2 round trips and we are once again slightly ahead of the curve for maybe a week.....
We need to load up for the winter ice storms— sliding and schlepping do not go together well when it comes to hay transport. And that will pertain to getting the big trucks out of Canada to have hay even available.... so keep buying the hay bricks if you can... I think goldys hay loft has held an entire 53 foot trailer full straight from canada.... which is why I was a bit sensitive about rumors the SDP might cut holes in the barn---- those walls are holding up great weight—and to even think of cutting into any support is just Not supposed to be even mentioned...—those supports are on 24” centers which should be more than enough for a dog door—looking at a dane ( not pregnant dane) from the top down they aren’t more than 12 inches wide.. but nobody asked me...i know the most narrow door I ever put in is next to the door to the laundry where because of the door and header stuff that support is on 14 inches wide—and I have watched a very pregnant female squeeze thru. With difficulty.—those are numbers I know.
Well there is one more..... the normal large commercial door for a german shephard has worked ( in my house) because I raised it 6 inches off the floor.. danes can pick up those legs—the body size is not that different.
The henny penny board is our budgeting of the rest of the establishment--- from rescue costs to vet bills to the #$%^&* easy pass bill I keep getting from when Janine rescues a load from the auction and that big trailer has an e-zpass which lands on my desk.... but is a definite “cost” related to rescue trips. There is no way around the Hudson river....could we have a special push for that board to sell out.... if you can....

Hmmmmm. So if you are headed for California in a covered wagon... what on earth do you do about the Mississippi?
I have long wondered what the paul revere types did running back and forth between philidelphia and boston. When. they came to the Hudson.... or the Conneticut river—who was the guy who first started “joe’s ferryboat service”. You never hear about him...
Whata shame.
I cannot see me standing on the banks of the Hudson saying to my horse “oh come on , lets swim” ---
And how--- without the internet, did anyone know there was a huge city on the other side of those rivers????
Oh the things we take for granted....
