i went to a great dane dog show in europe ? germany? and was amused by the beautiful dogs that had no basic training.. i specifically remember the grass was 12" tall and one man was dragged across a field by a very happy dane while he hung on and others chased him... most of teh stud dogs had 2 or 3 handlers per dog. it was a fiasco... apparently now alot better from pictures i see.. but i have not seen any obedience or agility titles either... maybe i just don't look in the right place.... i bet some of you can find that out.?????

i hope we get some lifters and carriers here today. it is painful for me to sit in the golf cart the see all teh minor details that would bring this fence project further along. colby will be back tomorrow as chief lifter and carrier. biggest push today stand up some gates so we can get teh donkeys backi to the donkety cafe for both hay and water. and a visual for guests----- all i need is a lifter and more hay string for teh quick knot.
we are collecting a significant quantity of chain link for lynnwhich involves all the contraptions to connect them all togethere...-- they are wonderfully adaptaive
many places where we were 6 inches short... or on a hill/bend... we simply attached one or two plain pipes to fill the gap. it does work.
also gives us a wild collection of odd pipes which eventually we should figure out how to store on a yet to be made rack...between teh g tent and shipping container--

back to the water and river discussion. . .googling....It is a common misconception that all rivers flow south or all rivers in the Northern Hemisphere flow towards the equator. However, the truth is that, like all objects, rivers flow downhill because of gravity. They often take a path with the least resistance,
just a few numbers
longest -- nile 4258. -----then in the us.... mississippi. 2318--- and colorado. 1450 and getting shorter every year---
.. after 1960 the Colorado River has run dry before reaching the Pacific Ocean.-- the history of the colorado river- is a good one... that i have not read.... but teh snippits i have heard about water rights, golf courses and shipping hay for horses to arabia have made me aware that the current drought is about to get much worse. for a whole bunch of reasons... mostly people-- far too many who have moved to the desert just assuming water would flow somehow.... and it is not doing that.
the lack of water has a way of overtaking all other problems in the world. from people in vegas building a grand canal so they can have gondolla rides to ?? detroit?? flint??? have they ever solved teh lead pipe problem...???
bentley is having a problem.when he strains to get up he makes great effort and great mess...., , ---- this worries me as I am about to move in an old couch for his bed—so yesterday I suggested to bud that we put that waterproof liner in the bed and seal the cracks with flexall... if I know it is going to happen, I best be prepared... I doubt they would like that topic for a commercial. Their chicken coop boat is a pretty good stretch...
