"CAFE LE DONK" IS LOOKING BETTER ALL THE TIME...--- I MOVED THE TABLE TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE PUPPY HILL CAMERA-- AND JANINE'S BUNCH OF LILACS REALLY SET IT OFF NICELY-- THAT TABLE AND CHAIRS ARE VERY COMFORTAQBEL, EXPENSIVE AND MADE OF PEPSI BOTTLES ( RECYCLED PLASTIC) SO THEY SHOUDL ENDURE..
HAVING POCKETS BACK AND TH E HORSES GONE - TEH ATMOSPHERE IS ONE OF PEACE AND SERENITY..
THAT ONE SPOTTED HORSE WAS A GOOD ONE... AN HONEST BEAST WHO WHEN ANYONE ( MIKE) GOT ON HER SHE CAREFULLY MINCED HER WAY AROUND BEING VERY CAREFUL- I KNOW JANINE WILL FIND HER A GOOD FOREVER HOME--- SHE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUMMER CAMPS WOULD LIKE BUT IN THE FALL THAT WOULD PUT HER BACK IN THE KILL PEN CIRCULATION AGAIN, AS IT IS EX[PENSIVE TO KEEP HORSES YEAR ROUND---
I REMEMBER--- THE SUMMER CAMP I WENT TO IN VERMONT- OFFERED "RIDING" AND HAD A SHED WITH10 STRAIGHT STALLS- WITH 10 VERY THIN- VERY QUIET HORSES- AND TEH NEXT YEAR 10 DIFFERENT VERY THIN VERY QUIET,...... NOW THAT I AM MORE FAMILIAR WITH JANINE'S OPERATION, I CAN SEE THE PROGRESSION... SO THAT "PAINT" MARE IS LUCKY-- JANINE WILL FIND HER A HOME OR KEEP HER.
I CAN SAY.....SEEING AS TEH HORSE/DONKEY FINANCIAL OPERATION IS SEPARATE FROM SDP, I WILL KEEP ENOUGH FUNDS AVAILABLE TO JANINE FOR HER HAY/VET BILL UNTIL SHE IS "CLEANED UP" AND SETTLED.
I CAN HEAR SOME OF THE CP'S NOW--- "WE WANT YOU TO KEEP HER" - I AM SURE YOU ALL DO--- EXCEPT SHE JUST DOES NOT FIT-- SHE HAS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SKILLS AND LIMITATIONS.... I DON'T KNOW AS I WOLULD EVER WALK AROUND BEHIND HER WITH THE CONFIDENCE I HAVE WITH THE DONKEYS OR MULES.- LET ME TRY --- AGAIN.... IF YOU ANNOY A DONKEY TO THE POINT OF "REALLY MAD" THEY WILL SWAT AT YOU WITH ONE BACK FOOT - HOWEVER.... IF YOU SNEEZE IN TEH WRONG DIRCTION AZND STARTLE A HORSE- TEHY WOULD... WITHOUT THOUGHT . LET FLY WITH BOTH BACK FEET.-- THINKING BACK 40 YEARS OF DONKEYDOM, OTHER THAN A FEMALE DONKEY TELLING A MALE TO GET LOST, I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN A 2 FOOTED KICK FROM A DONKEY-- IN THE FEW DAYS THOSE 3 HORSE TYPES WERE HERE WE HAD A HALFDOZEN EPISODES WHERE ... IF A PERSON WERE IN RANGE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOIUSLY HURT. THERE ARE PLACES HORSES BELONG- IN STALLS- UNDER SERIOUS CONDITIONS...DONKEYS ON TEH OTHER HAND, ARE MUCH LESS LABOR INTENSIVE- TO PUT HER BACK IN WITH OUR DONKEYS WOULD MEAN NO ONE SHOULD CONSIDER GO IN WITH THE DONKS TO BRUSH THEM.
GEORGE BUSH SENIOR-- I THINK IT WAS-- ALLOWED A LAW TO BE PASSED WHICH BASICALLY SAYS "ANYONE PARTICDIPAIOTING WITH EQUINES, IS NUTS IN TEH FIRST P,LACE SO IF YOU GET HURT IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT" WE HAVE THE OFFICIAL SIGN IN THE BARN TO THAT EFFECT..
I HAVE TO MENTION-----THERE IS ONE SITUATION WHICH CAN UNRAVEL A DONKEY-- WE HAVE ABOUT 1-- MAYBE 2--- MONSTER FLYS AROUND HERE IN THE WHOLE SUMMER-- THEY ARE DEFINITELY A FLY-- BLACK AND GREY-- WITH AT LEAST AN INCH FRONT TOBACK--- AND TEHY BITE---IT HURTS-- TEHY HEAD FOR TEH KIDNEYS ON TEH BACK OF TEH HORSE/DONJKEY- WHEN ONE WOULD BITE MARY SHE WOULD COME RUNNING TO THE T TENT AND WE KNEW TO GET IT OFF HER IMMEDIATELY... SHE WAS ...IN THAT SITUATION DANGEROUS--- SO IT ALWAYS DOES EXIST...
YOU CAN WATCH FOR THEM- LIKE A SMALL BIRD !!
*************
SPEAKLING OF FEMALES TELLING MALES TO GET LOST.... WE ARE BRINGING THE RESEARVES THIS MORNING WHICH WILL GIVE US THE UNHEARD OF 10 TESTICLES PN THE FRARM AT ONCE TO TRY AND GET GABBY AND SIZZLE "WITH CHILD" -- YOU ALL KNOW-- IF SHE AIN'T RECPETIVE, SHE HAS TEETH TO EXPLAIN THAT TO TEH MALES... AND THE MALES LEARN.....VERY EFFECTIVE- -- ALL YOU CAN DO IS HOPE --
THERE IS A LESSON TO BE HAD THERE...
