i wish people would hurry up getting here- there are sooo many things i need h\elp doing.  between fedex, grain, WATER,  and ups deliveies we coudl  have a traffic jam int he driveway. and to ccomplicate matters 23 toNs of stone dust got delivered and dumped right inthe middle of everythig yesterday...  let us pray teh tractor doesn't mind moving alot of it  in the next few days...  perfect chance for all those who ever wanted to drive a bucket dozer.  the spirit stick holders are at least 1/4 mile  "CARRY"  away in the back  of tanners' shed and the flimsy  shape is not prone to tractror delivery... another job for teh 6 person tent  moving crew.... maybe we should hnave  " the parade of the portables"    *** it was fun to put the hay feeder together with mia's husband who says he's "jack of all master of none"   problem is... when you are a master of something, you know how it is supoosed to happen/work.  it takes far more tallent to succeed when  it looks like  the water runs up hill. he is teh type "if i put a big screw in here , it oughta hold.." i am an "oughta" type carpentar too. MY "t tent" is still standing-- all be it... sagging a little, but standing. standing while alotta water's been over tehe dam. ***  which brings me to medicine - veterinary or people --there is such a rift between an infected toenail and heart transplants. the problem is... if a place is set to do heart transplants, the poor person with the infected toenail will have a bill geared to help pay for the heart transplanting machinery.----  that concept is not always in  a dogs best interest...   i have to admit  i kept bailey alive months after she really wanted to go to sleep-.her job was done...  she taught me  what a well behaved dog should behave like--- and i must admit i have not been able to  achieve that degree of bdhavior since--- at least in my own dogs--  i have managed to  develope a systemn  to  take many half  educated  dogs and have the recipient  "finish' their education... george and bella being   ONLY ONE SAMPLE OF the ultimate educated. **** dogs aRE BARKING---  MORE THAN 60 SECONDS. -- I STARTED TO GO OUT THE DOOR TO YELL AT THEM AND HEARD SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAMMERING-  IT CERTAINLY IS NOT ANYONE ON CRAZY ACRES--   BUT THEY HAVE BEEN  HAMMERING SOMETHING SINCE 6:27AM -- NOW AT 6:47 THE DANES HAVE STOPPED ANYWAY  BUT THERE IS SOME OTHER DOG STILL BARKING... I REMEMBER.......MY MOTHER USED TO SAY  IF YOU WERE NOT UP WORKING  BEFORE 6AM YOU  HAD MISSED TEH BEST PART OF TEHE DAY BY BEING LAZY. SO WHEN TEH PHONE RANG AT 4:50 AM THIS MORNING,  THERE WAS A SLIGHT PANIC SOMETHING WAS WRONG SOMEWHERE....I WAS GLAD TO SEE IT WAS MY DAUGHTER... GWEN-- NOT ONLY UP WORKING, BUT ON HER WAY TOTHE AIRPORT TO COME  TO BOSTON  FOR SOME MEETING--- AND SHE KNOWS SHE IS SAFE BOOKING AN EARLY MORNING  FLIGHT FROM BOSTON BECAUS E I WILL WILLINGLY DRIVE TO T HE AIRPROT ANYTINE AFTER 4AM... SO HAMMERING AT  6:27 IS PART OF  LIFE IN GENERAL FOR ME. ******** Linda, Kringle and I had such a great day.  We have done three hikes in NM.  This is 2 and 3.  I LOVE Kringle!  Enjoy the views and my post. Living life is what everyone should do.  Kringle has given me new legs so I live life.  Almost four years ago I never thought I would hike again so now I take full advantage of my four legged gift..  The US is breathtaking and today Kringle and I did hike number two in New Mexico at Ghost Ranch and Plaza Blanca.   Don't ever let a disability hold you back.  Enjoy God's beautiful world as Kringle and I did today! Shauna and Kringle ***** Dear Carlene,  Pixie is just amazing. She is my hero in so may ways as I always say. My legs have been really acting up. I almost fell 4 times yesterday while shopping and today while at the store my leg decided it want to stop working. Pixie knew what to do without even thinking without any commands. We continued on shopping and she walked me through the store. She kept me safe. People all stopped to watch with amazement as they saw the team work we had going on.  You know she’s even amazing when I’m hanging onto her and the carriage that Jimmy is pushing and jimmy accidentally goes to fast without realizing it and I almost went flying. Pixie wasn’t having any part of it she Braced so tight to keep me up. She is my Rockstar and deserves an award for her hard work and devotion to me.  I just love my girl with all my heart ❤️  Stacy & Pixie
