YOU SCRATCH MY BACK AND I'LL SCRATCH YOURS---our new CP"s may not know.. TO watCh teh donkey's they nibble at each other's backs and there is a converaasation about wherer it itches as they wiggle ther noses and relocate --
we have added a new kid to OUR ranks... she is fascinated with animals-- and is learning to "read" them by scratching the withers of the donks.. both she and her father were thnrilled to "read" the conversation of the donks, about where it itches... animals do talk... if we are too HARD HEADED to be able to read them, who's fault is that? we as a society spend millions on trying to figure out the squeaky noises a whale makes... and most of the time i hear the "scientists" using our frame of reference for trying to understand. WHALES ... WE NEED MORE PRACTICE AT A YOUNGER AGE TO WIDEN OUR HORIZONS..... SAVE SOME MONEY ON BOATS..... WHY NOT ... PRACTICE ON SQUIRRELS-- OR DONKEYS.....
I CAN GIVE YOU ONE....A WHILE AGO... DONKEYS IN BOSTON... IN A LOOSE SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE COULD MINGLE .. A BOY WAS PATTING THE PART OF THE DONK MOST ACCESSABLE - TEH BACK.. AND HE STOPPED.... THE DONKEY TOOK ONE SLOW CAREFUL STEPO TOWARD HIM CLEARLY SAYING " DON;T STOP" AND HE WHACKED HER AND SAID "DANM DONKEY TRIED TOI KNOCK ME OVER" BY APPLYING HIS FRAME OF REFERENCE HE TOTALLY MISSED TEH CONVERSATION.
SO HERE WE HAD A DONKEY USED TO BEING SCRATCHED BEING HIT BY A KID USED TO BEING KNOCKED OVER.
TURN THAT 180 DEGREES AND HERE AT CRAZY ACRES.... WE HAVE WILD DONKEYS FROM THE SLAUGHTER PENS WHO ARE ACCUSTOMED TO BEIN G KNOCKED ABOUT BEING TOUCHED BY THE LIKES OF TEH DONKEY MASSEUSE WOMAN.. THE FRAME OF REFERENCE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED ON BOTH SIDES... SHE ONCE THOUGHT DONKEYS WERE STUBBORN MINDLESS FOOLS AND THE DONKEY ONCE THOUGHT ALL HUMANS WERE MINDLESS AND INCAPABLE OF SEEING THEIR POINT OVF VIEW. .
THERE IS A TIPPING POOINT IN BOTH CASES WHERE TOO MUCH ROUGH HANDLING CASN LEAD TOI A ROUGH -- DANGEROUS
DONKEY JUST AS... WELLL..... I AM SURE YOU KNOW WHERE THIS I S HEADED... TO HUMANS WHO ARE BOTH PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS OR MENTALLY INCAPABLE OF Reason .. EVERYBODY KNOWS.. OR THINKS THEY DO.... ALL DONKEYS KICK AND YOU MUST NOT WALK BEHIND THEM-- WELL THEY CERTAINLY ARE CAPABLE OF KICKING, BUT PERSONALLY I HAVE SEEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH TEH FRONT END... THE TEETH--- GRAB SOMETHING AND HANG ON. THEY CAN KILL WOLVES THIS WAY... THEY KNOW THAT THEiR ACHILLES TENDON IS THEIR ACHILLES HEEL .. AND WILL SPIN AND PROTECT IT. WITH THEIR TEETH.
IT TAKES A WHILE TO TURN THE DONKS INTO THE PLACID CREATURES THEY NATURALLY ARE.. ? HOW TO TURN PEOPLE? I DUNNO...

DOGS LOOK GREAT AND ARE GETTING THIER people time... WE WILL BE MAKING SOME MORE CHANGES AS WE GO THRU ANY COV COMPLICATIONS... SO FAR NO ONE INVOLVED WITH BEINBG ON THE SD PROPERTY HAS TESTED POSITIVE AND WE NEED TOKEEP IT THAT WAY.. BOTH LEGALLLY AND PRACTICALLY. ANY ONE WITH THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF COV EXPOSURE MUST NOT COME HERE FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS...PER OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES AND BOIARD... SOME STATES HAVE PASSED THAT LAW--- NEW YOURK,NEW JERSEY, CONN AND APPARENTLY MASS. WELL... IT IS A SUGGESTION, BUT IF YOU READ ON... WHICH I DON'T OFTEN DO, TEH SUGGESTION CAN HAVE POLICE "TEETH" TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE.....
THIS WIL,L COMPLICATE OUR LIVES, BUT IS NOT AN INSURMOUTNYTABLE PROPLEM... IF I COULD REMEMBER I AM SURE WE HAVE HAD WORSE... THAT IS .ONE CASE OF A BAD MEMORY IS A GOOD THING..... JUST GET ON WITH IT... WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.
WE HAVE 2 PEOPLE READY TO WORK WITH NEW DOGS- AND TO GET THEM WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE COV RESTRICTIONS IS A BIT OF A CHALLANGE.. BUT WE CAN TRY... TAKE ONLY ONE PERSON TO A CAR... FOR OPENERS... WELL WE HAVE 4 CARS THAT RUN RELIABLY-- OH .... I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN I DID NOT HAVE ONE RELIABLE CAR AND SPENT MANY HOURS ROLLING DOWN HILLS TO JUMP START. SO WHEN YOU THINK IT IS DIFFICULT NOW ,,, JUST THINK OF TRYING TO PULL OFF A MATCH WITH 4 CARS THAT HAVE TO BE JUMP STARTED.... COULD BE WORSE.
YOU CAN NOT WRITE ABOUT THESE COV COMPLICATIONS.. YOU CAN NOT POSSIBLY DREAM UP THIS STUFF... YOU CAN ONLY ADDRESS ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME.
