WE COULD USE MORE VOLUNTEERS FOR DOG WALKING AND DONKEY TENDING AND BRUSHING.. I HAVE BEEN TOLD PEOPLE ARE "WAITING TO COME BACK...I HAVE NO COV KNOWLEDGE WHATSO EVER... I DOI NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NOW ALRIGHT TO EAT AT RESTAURANTS WHEN THERE WERE FEWER CASES 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN IT WAS FIORBIDDEN ----
KEEP IN MIND IF YOU DO SOMETHING THEY DO NOT LIKE... THEY KICK... SO BE SURE TO STAY ON THE MORE FRIENDLY END.. RE WELCOME AT THEIR OWN RISK....AND TEH 10' DISTANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED...(AND I MEAN TO INCLUDE A BRAND NEW VOLUNGTEER FROM YESTERRDAY )
AND 10' SHOULD BE A SCINCH... POO PICK WITH PUPS... OR EVEN BETTER PICK ROCKS UNDER THE SPRINKLER ( WELL WATER)
AS FOR DONKEY PATTING... IF YOU CAN ARRIVE WITH CARROTS ... THEN CUT IN ABOUT 1 INCH CHUNKS... TO PUT IN THE FRY PANS.... THE FRONT END WILL BE VERY FRIENDLY AND FEEDING THEM WITH FRY PANS OVER THE HAY FEEDER SHOULD BE 100% SAFE. . THERE IS A SIGN IN THE BARN THAT WARNS .. ANY ASSOSIATION WITH EQUINES IS DANGERIU S IUN TEH FIRST PLCE AND YOU ARE IONB YOUR OWN... I THIN K IT WAS GEORGE BUSH SENIOR THAT GOT THAT LAW INSTALLED..
.
AFTER SOME 40 YEARS OF DONKEY MANAGEMENT, I FIND HORSES TO BR FAR MORE UNPREDICTABLE.. THE DONKS HAVE BEEN PERFECT IN THOUSANDS OF SITUATIONS... BUT TEH THERE IS ALWAYS A FOOT TO BE STEPPED ON OR HEAVEN FORBID A FINGER THAT IS MISTAKEN FOR A CARROT -- HENCE THE FRY PANS... DISASTER TIME OF YEAR IS CHRISTMASD WHEN KIDS ARE EATING AND SLOBBERING ON THERI HANDS WITH CANDY CANES THAT ARE PEPPERMINT-- EQUINES LOVE PEPPERMIONGTS.. THEY ARE USUALLY LIKE A NARCOTIC TO A HORSE OR DONLK -- I DONLT LIKE TO HAVE THEM AROUND.. STICK TO CARROTS... THEY HAVE ONLY A NORMAL ATTRACTION.. HORSE VETERNARIANS SOMETIMES CARRY PEPPERMINT LIFE SAVORS... WE DON'T ALLOW THEM HERE. CARROTWS, APPLES, DRIED BAGELS PIECES ARE ALL OK
KEEP IN MIND IF YOU DO SOMETHING THEY DO NOT LIKE... THEY KICK... USUALLY THEY WARN BEFORE KICKING IF YOU WATCH FOR THE LANGUAGE.... SO BE SURE TO START ON THE MORE FRIENDLY END.. TO START WITH YOU WILL FIND DONKEYS VERY PENSIVE..... THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT TO TRUST.... AND THEY WILL TALK TO YOU...
AS FOR BEING STUB BORN... A FRIGHTENED DONKEY STANDS STILL AND QUESTIONS THINGS LIKE PUDDLES AND SHADOWS THEY NEED TO HAQVE THINGS EXPLQAINED TOTHEM..
THE DONKEUYS SHOULD BE READY TO LET POEOPLE WIPE THIER LEGS WISHT FLY SPRAY.. AND TEHY ARE NOT.. IT AGAIN IS A DO IT YOURSELF OPERATION BUT START SCRATCHING THERI BACK AND SLOWLY GET TO THE TOP OF THERI FRONT LEGS.. AND MAYBE AFTER 3 OR 4 DAYS YOUMIGHT AT LEATS TOUCH A LOWER FRONT LEG.. WE HAVE PLENTY OF FLY SPRAY-- A GALLON OR TWO ) WE USE ABSORBINE ULTRA SHIELD ON A WASH CLOTH... ) AND WE HAVE ALOT OF LEG WRAPS, BUT USING EITHER AT THE MOMENT IS IMPOSSIBLS SINCE THEY ARE STILL TERRIFIED OF HUMANS..... EVEN POCKETS NEEDS HANDLING MORE AND SHE KNOWS TRICKS !!

HENRY... is in ICE tonight with PAM AND HER dogs." I just took a temp 100.7. I also put a cold compress on him for a bit. He's a little whiny but otherwise seems fine. Happily wagging his tail. He is drinking and had some cookies."
