FEB 6 2020
incongruent data types-- computers, people or other animals..  HERE'S  THE problem of teh day...... IT IS LIKE TEH LOGIC PROBLEM OF  2 MISSIONARIES AND  2 CANABALS WITH ONE CANOE GETTING ACROSS THE RIVER
BEFORE YUOU ALL START COMMENTING/ COMPLAINING  ABOUT THE MOVEMENT OF ANIMALS ... LET ME EXPLAIN WHY....
our big draftt mule "mo" - does not like goats but will tolorate donkeys- horses are initially terrified of donkeys but get to accept them and even like being with them..  the 5 goats janine bought at the  auction which she thought  might be pregnant.... turned out that was not a udder between thier hind legs- so they have had that male appendage removed-- leaving themTO LIVE IN OUR "BACK BARN"  AS cute nice pets which are great for children to walk on her strange donkey walk sundays.-add to that a few  OF HER horses--- 2 huge BEAUTIFUL  rideable IN "THE HUNT" , plus several invalids in healing process,2 spotted toatlly unknown- just arrived from the"sales" in penna  with 3 tiny-- things i would call ponies, but apparently they are tiny horses..  2 of them are "buddies" not to be separateed.
now.... CONSIDER THE   REAL ESTATE...there are 4 "places"  for  any combination of these beasts-- two of the ?FARMS?  would have to quaLIFY AS 2 OF THE NICER PIECES  IN ALL OF NEW ENGLAND----  THEN HER PLACE 3 ACRES WITH SMALL BARN AND FENCNG THEN OUR .... MAYBE 3 ACRES OF TEH  12  CRAZY ACRES DEVOTED TO HOOVED ANIMALS,(THE   8 ACRES DEVOTED TO DOGS .. PLUS ONE ACRE OF POND/ L GROWING BIGGER BY THE DAY THANKS TO THE BEAVERS.) 
EVERY ANIMAL IS WELL CARED FOR AT THE MOMENT... BUT THERE ARE PARTS THAT NEED ADDRESSING. WATER IS HEAVY... 

FIRSTLY... WATER... BOTH BIG ESTATES HAVE CONVENIENT  WATER SUPPLY    WITH UNDERGROUND "GATE VALVES?"  WHERE A  HANDLE AT GROUND LEVEL  TURNS TEH WATER ON AND OFF 4 FEET UNDERGROIUND.. THEREFOR OFTEN CALLED FROST FREE... CRAZY ACRE DOES NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY IN "REAR BARN" WHICH IS WHERE THE 5 NEUTERED GOATS LIVE...-- THEY DON'T DRINK ALOT OF WATER... = MAYBE 2 OF THE USUAL 5 GALLON PAILS PER DAY WHICH HAS TO BE HAND CARRIED  TEH 80 FEET OF TEH ARENA  ---FROM OUR ONE GATE VALVE IN THE "FEED ROOM" 
OUR  HERD OF DONKEYS +MO IS EASILY WATERED OFF TEH ICU BUILDING TO A STOCK TANK EASILY MAINTAINED.
WE NEED TO MOVE TEH 5 NEUTERED GOATS TO BE PART OF OUR COLLETKION OF DONKEYS,,, EXCEPT..... MO..... .SHE DOES NOT LIKE THE GOATS  SHE WEIGHS ?1800 POUNDS AND DRINKS ALOT OF WATER.. SO TO SWAP HER FOR TEH 5 GOATS WOULD MEAN CARRYING  EVEN MORE WATER TEH LEGNTH OF THE ARENA'S  80 FEET... 
SO...MO NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO THE COLLECTION OF LARGE HORSES WHO LIVE WHERE THERE IS  EASIER ACCESS TO WATER..
JANINE HAS A HOME FOR THE ONE SINGLE PONY/ HORSE  ANIMAL.  
WE ARE NOT TOO SURE WHA MO  WOIULD THINK OF TWO TINY  PONY /HORSE THINGS SO WE COULD; SWAP HER FOR THE 2 “BUDDIES” AND ADD THEM
 TO OUR HERD OF DONKEYS-- IF WE DO THAT , WE COUDL ADD THE 5 GOATS TO THE HERD AND ALL COUD LDRINK OUT OF THE  STOCK TANK WHICH IS MAINTANED EASILY OFF TEH ICU BUILDING. I WAS HOPING THAT WOULD HAPPEN TODAY- EXCEPT WE HAD AN “EMERGENCY” CALL FROM A NURSING HOME WE HAVE BEEN TO - WE TRY   TO DO THOSE= SO AFTER WE  TRY AND HOOK UP THE EXPLORE CAMERAS TO THE NURSING HOME WE LINED UP YESTERDAY-- WE WILL GO TO THAT ONE..
AND WE WILL-----EXCEPT --- WE NEED TO DROP OFF MY TOYOTA AT THE DEALER TO GET WHATEVER IS DRAGGING TO BE ATTACHED. JUST IN CASE JANINE  NEEDS IT TOI TAKE IT TO PENNA FOR A "LAST LOAD" BEFORE SHE STARTS HER NEW JOB.

THIS WILL LEAVE JANINE ,ME, 2 GREAT DANES, AND JANINE’S JACK RUSSEL “WANDA”   STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOYOTA DEALER  LOOKING FOR A RIDE TO THE FIRST-- THEN SECOND NURSING HOME,,  THEY KNOW ME THERE.. THEY LIKE ME... I BOUGHT 3 TOYOTAS IN ONE DAY ONCE...
 STAY TUNED...

Hello 
I wanted to send a quick note and some pictures of Harry.  He is turning 8 next mth. I can’t believe how time has flown by.  Every moment with this boy has been and continues to be a gift. I feel like we now so comfortably know each other that I can’t remember what it was like before he came into my world. He is stunningly handsome and loves to play, run, and cuddle. He is a master at snapping sticks for kindling. Ever the hard worker. He is a master napper as well. He loves having his feet rubbed when he is falling asleep and it is adorable. He is holding out for some big snow storms still because snow zoomies are his favorite!  I am including some pictures of my handsome boy.  Take care, Harry and Beth
