chicken bricks??? wow i am impressed--- over 150 people jumped in with their $10 " subscriptions relieving my panic..
we are close to the 2100 brick threshold which is the "payroll number.". after that it is the flying purple egg section which is teh gravy/funfund donations.
i have a drawer full of notes from people who sent checks for "quickpiks" which donna will come and enter TODAY (one handed) she is left handed- and the arm shoulder she broke is on teh right. so we may make it yet..
you all have not missed the payroll in ??5 years?? -keep up the good work....
without those chicken bricks we would not "BE" . WELL WE PROBABLY WOULD "BE" EXCEPT WE WOULD NOT BE AABLE TO DONATE THE DOGS FREE OF CHARGE- AND WE WOULD HAVE ALOT LESS FUN.

FUN.. LIKE THE LAST night's midnight load OF RESCUED EQUINES FROM TEH PENNA KILL PENS.
I WAS TOLD WE WERE GETTTING A DONKEY WITH SOME WHITE WHO WAS VERY PREGNANT- AND I THINK SHE WAS TO BE OURS WITH TEH BABY...I THINK/... MAYBE
( NOW THRE IS A GOOD NAME FOR HER..." MAYBE.")
SO I JUST CHECKED TEH CAMERA AND IT LOOKS LIKE 4 DONKEYS AND A SPOTTED TINY PONY...
TEHN I REALIZED THAT LARGE BLOND ANIMAL WAS NOT OUR MO MULE...BUT A HORSE -- I DID NOT NOTICE RIGHT AWAY THE SPOTTED FULL SIZE HORSE HIDDEN BEHIND HER...
SO WHAT STAERTED TO BE ONE PREGO IS AT LEAST 7 THAT I CAN SEE-- AND DON'T FOR GET WE ALREADY HAD 8 PLUS THE 2 SHE WAS MOVING OUT TODAY.
WITH THAT KIND OF INCREASE IN EXPCTATIONS, I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE ONE COWBOY WHO WAS TIO BE STAying here- probably in the guest house unless his truck had a sleeper in whinc case he is "around" somewhere. just another episode in the sagga of crazy acres.

cold-- yep - one of my greatest fears is getting all soapy in the shower and having the water go cold. it didn't happen today-- but it must have in my career because i do worry about that.
well--- to deal withthe cold......what bettter time than to have the SDP coin sort right in front of teh blazing fire... the 5 gal jug was filled to about 2 inches from the neck of the jug... we... judy -- cindy and i sorted tray after tray into bowls we could no longer pick up
we got 55% sorted.. of that 55% i wrapped $100 in quarters without making a noticable dent.
if you all send a guess--- on paper--- as to the ammount, closest without going over will win 8 monkley fists. it is going to take quite a few cold "fireplACE" days for us to get all that wrapped. I JUST COULD NOT FORFIET THE 5% TO HAVE THE BANK DO IT.. THIS WAY IT WILL COST US A LOT OF FIREWOOD AND A STAMP WITH OUR NAME AND ACCOUNT NUMBER ON IT-- ON WHICH THEY INSIST.
THANKS TO AQ THINKING CP... WE DO HAVE FUNNY LITTLE TUBES WHICH DETERMINE THE AMT TO BE WRAPPED.
AND THANKS TO ANOTHER VOLUNTEER ---WE HAVE A BIG CONTAINER OF HOME MADE TOMATOE SOUP TO KEEP US GOING...

IT TAKES A COMMUNITY.

IN THE NERVOUS WRECK DEPARTMENT... WE HAD 2 UNRELATED DOGS BLEED-- CLARK HAD A MINOR NOSE BLEED AND ELVIS VOMITED SOME BLOOD...
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MINOR NOSE BLEED-- SO I SUGGESTED BOT CAROLINE AND FIONA TAKE THEM TO A VET QUICKLY FOR BLOOD STUDIES.. WE HAVE HAD 2 DOGS DIE OF ERLICHIA- A TICK BORNE DISEASE WHICH DESTROYS BLOOD CLOTTING-- SO I GET NERVOUS..
Nothing much new here either. Elvis seems to be okay with the food Angell put him on for the time being it gives him awful smelling gas though!). He's happy to be out working again, he was getting bored before!
I'm waiting for the vet to call me about his last platelet count.
