helping??? " if you can't help thousands, help one" either said by MOTHER THEREA OR GEORGE BUSH SR. I CAN'T REMEMBER... SO LET SDP BE THE "ONE"???? .......AUTHOR JANICE WHEELER WHO PULLED TOGETHER THE service dog project BOOK, WHICH THankfully many of yo u are now reading..... suggest that you go back on amazon and give it ( hopefully 5star ) rating .. as that apparently affects how amazon places it in the suggestion list...
SECONDLY IN AN EFFORT TO INTRODUCE MORE OF THE WORLD TO THE FINER ART OF ANALYZING EVERY PHART, NOW WOUDL BE A GOOD TIME TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO WAGTCH OUR EXPECTANT MOTHER WHILE DISCUSSING THE FACT THAT MOMMY NATURE IS TOTALLY IN CHARGE OF WHATEVER Happens.. but usually we have happy endings to preganncies. in this case either a baby donkey... or mule...
so right there you have at least 3 conversation starters.... which is what we do best, second only to producing service dogs.
crazy acres has always been a conversation starter.. and i never have pinned down why.... we don't actually do anything unusual, but we do let things just happen .. and run with it.
the progression --- one leading to the next........ having a 4h club,---- not wanting to run horse shows - running a kids circus instead----produced trtained animals--cheerfully supplied for the tufts vet school commercial--- photographers recogmnizing we were willing to deal with cockoaches and cows led to making movies--which led us to realizing 99% of crazy acres was legitimately a deductable enterprize- led to retiring and wanting to keep the deductgable aspect , what else but train dogs to help people one at a time. tht is 82 years in a nutshell... with a bunch of nuts along the way.
i suppose the whole thing started with having 2 kids... then go to 4h...
now firmly planted in the unusual "other" catagory - i don't plan much anymore-- we are on a roll... teh mini cow janine bought at the awful slaughter pen was not a cow but a boy zebu... who is extremely pleasant because he had been a bottle fed baby.. and he just looked so much better ( and was safer,) with brass balls on his significant horns.... he is also a spectacular conversation starter who gets invited to parties because of his excellent manners.
there are soooo many details of his existance that are interesting and informative to keep intellectual conversaton going-- like please slice the apples for him because cows have only one set of lowers.... in front -----which is why there were wars between sheep and cattle owners out west because the sheep bit off teh grass too short and the cattle could not grab any... conversations at a party where he is there are not "forced cocktail converations" he's a natural generator.
we can not consider what he would have been if janine had not thought he was a cute cow which had a place at crazy acres... janine has a history of mistaking an udder for other bits of antonym... as in 5 white goats that will never give milk... not because they wouldn't t ry, but the parts were not conducive to milk and had to bre removed.. moving on to an appartment raised turkey.. who needed a friend... and we are off and running again.
todays question??? how do turkeys and donkeys get along??? donkeys ar usually very placid.. and turkeys very fast... so my thinking is... it would be a lovely existance if they could get along... so worth a try...
i can't take that one any further.
