dec 23 2020

IMPOSSIBLE BUNCH OF EMAILS TODAY.. SO THIS WILL BE SHORT..
PLUS ALL THE PAPERWORK NECESSARY   REGARDING EMPLOYEES,THEIR TIME, THIER INSURANCE ETC ETC  
AND I HEAR WE MAY GET ANOTHER 87,000 $$$  FOR  PAYROLL-- SO THAT IS A BIIIIGGGGG NUMBER..... I MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THAT...
ALONG WITH LINDA WHO CARRIES THE BRUNT OF THE PAPER.. \

ALONG WEITH 2 NEW PONY/MINI HORSES IN THE BARN... PROBLEM IS ONE OF THEM WAS RUNNING WIOTH A STALLION.. AND WE KNOW WHERE THAT GOES.... THE LITTLE PALOMINO (BLONDE) MIGHT BE PREGNANT...AND  JANINE/S RECIPIENTS GENERALLY DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT .. SO SHE MIGHT BE HERE TIL WE FIGURE OUT IF AND WHEN SHE MIGHT FOA;L..

FOR BACKGROUND INFO... DR POL APPARENTLY WILL BE ON FOR 10 DAYS  NAT'L GEO CHANNEL???  -- AND I AM SURE DURING THAT TIME  SOME HORSE OR COW WILL GIVE BIRTH, WITH ALL THE DETAILS....  FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KONW...  DR POL IS THE ONE WITH A VERY ACTIVE PRAVYOCE .. ABPIT 50% SMALL ANIMALS AND THE OTHER 50%  PREGNANT COWS.... SO A GREAT DEAL OF TIME HE HAS ONE ARM UP THE BACKSIDE OF SOME COW TRYING TO PULL OUT THE FRONT FEET OF THE CALF...  IT CAN BE EXCITING.
--
I HAD A PARTICULARLY NASTY EMAIL ABOUT NOT REVEALING  ALL THE DETAILS OF WHO .. WHY... WHERE... AT MAIL CALL.. 99% OF YOU CAMERA PEOPLE ARE VERY UNDERSTANDING....  THANKFULLY YOU KEEP EACH OTHER INFORMED AND REALIZE I CAN NOT  GET INTO ALL THE  MPICKY DETAILS OF  THIGS  OF THE MAGNATITUDE  LIKE WHY I PREFER HALEGORVE ORANGES....
BUT THERE IS ALWAYS ONE....

THSANKFULLY ANNETTE WROTE A LONG EMAIL   TO CUT AND PASTE...SO HAVE AT IT. 

GOOD MORNING CARLENE,

I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS PICTURE WITH YOU OF AURORA YESTERDAY. I HAD WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND CLOSED THE DOOR. MY SON WAS HOME AND SNAPPED THIS PICTURE.
OFF TO THE LEFT YOU CAN SEE LYDIA LAYING ON THE DOG BED . AURORA STANDING AT THE DOOR WITH HER HEAD PRESSED AGAINST IT.
I AM BLOWN AWAY AT JUST HOW QUICKLY SHE HAS BONDED WITH ME! IT IS AMAZING. SHE HAS BEEN GREAT WITH BOTH MY SONS AS WELL. 

SHE IS DOING WELL. LITTLE THINGS ARE STARTING TO SHOW THROUGH. NOTHING THAT ISN'T MANAGEABLE.
WHEN I AM COOKING AT THE STOVE OR FIXING SOMETHING TO EAT SHE HAS HER NOSE RIGHT UP THERE AT THE STOVE OR COUNTER, SO REINFORCING THE "LEAVE IT" STRONGLY AND SHE DOES LISTEN. 
SHE DOES PLAY VERY ROUGH SO I CANNOT BRING LYDIA OUT WITH HER AFTER THEIR FIRST OUTING IN THE MORNING. LYDIA CANNOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH AND WILL GET HURT. 
SHE HAS EVEN HURT MY SONS DANE CAPONE GOING FOR HIS EARS SO AGAIN REINFORCING "EASY" STRONGLY AND SHE DOES LISTEN. THEY ARE NEVER UNSUPERVISED SO I AM HOPING WE CAN GET HER TO PLAY A LITTLE NICER.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BRING HER OUT IN PUBLIC AS OF YET GIVEN THE STRICT GUIDELINES IN VERMONT WITH A 14 DAY QUARANTINE RULES IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF STATE SO I HAVE 7 MORE DAYS TO GO. VERMONT HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST CASE RATES IN THE US SO I WILL ABIDE BY THOSE RULES EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE AT SDP WERE ALWAYS MASKED. BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO WORK WITH HER AND HAVE OUR MUCH NEEDED OUTINGS!

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
FOREVER GRATEFUL,

ANNETTE, Retired SD LYDIA & SD AURORA
