first emergency of the day..... henry has a trip to the vet's this morning... a rather indelicate problem of bleeding into the little left over bags which are no longer little and apparently has become infected ... luckily this vet is open on sunday morning,
people... volunteers are re appearing.. and soooooo much is getting done... outside mostly janet is our resident horticulturalist and teh various things she has plantged are thriving.. thankfully we havev that well to keep everythingwqatered... i think it has run constantly for 10 days now...... green is growing --- i can not say with a straight face" the lawn" it is far from lawn ... but it is green...
tomorrow we get back on pre cov schedule.. with a few adaptations.. if we get on a better schedule using these voolunteers better, we can have more animals on camera partticularly the puppy hill camera in the shade by the swing set. mommy donk does love that grass... and it is good for her. and the volunteers love it... like getting these donkeuys gentled... mommy is pretty good with all teh massaging.. but ?pick up her feet? this needs doing... if not picking at least wiping themdown wiht fly repellent,, all it takes is organization, and younger legs than mine. having one strong post to tie donkeys to would be helpoful i don't knwo how many of you saw janine hanging on to a wild donkey getting flung around like a wet dish rag... she did not let go.. and to have to pay bryaN to come da=eal out granquilizers to donkeys only because our volunteers have not spent time rubbing. scratching. wiping and feeding out of fry pans to get these anims more reasonqable.
there are complications... like you can't easily get in with the donkeuys if the goats are there--- nor can i tqake down the high fence to play withteh don's because of the goats... and teh goats should be eating the weeds in the "A" pen again younger legs than mine.. they do folloew very nicely... but you can not do that if tehre is any chance if a doig v=being loose,, they would run and dogs would chase... and you end uo with either a dog getting klunked/ BUTTED intghehead or goat =getting badly bitten.. so for lack of some volunter help we takethe easy way out
janine holds a donkey walk on alot of sunday mornings.... .. and we have more donkeys than she does...
prganization... my fault.. from my golf cart i shold be able to get organized... even FROM my heated/airconditioned golf cart ( toyota )
