thank heavens for cookies ( dog kind). my 3 dogs appear at my elbow at 4:35 am for their morning cookie so they don't have an empty tummy that gets very upset and tries to be more emptier...,,.,.
I am told there will be on the arena camera today As a few of the ERN=-- people are scheduled come do something especially open the gates for me so that I can start putting that stone dust back in the arena--- from a heated tractor cab--- shouldn't be too difficult it's all power steering so I sit in an air conditioned chair and wiggle my fingers not too tough....looks good tho.
I watched the two donkeys be transferred through the arena out the back door with great enthusiasm... those two donkeys look pretty well socialized already... I just need about 8 more like that to try and pull together the pack burro race. by next summer.
I had hoped to have it been down memorial drive in Cambridge--- I may get there yet.. but the other option would be through the historical the estates of Ipswich and Hamilton like the Appleton farm and the Winthrop farm that would be an interesting way to go also.... Apparently the people who ran the one in Colorado will travel the countryside putting on these I wish they weren't called a race because that hardly describes wandering around the woods with a donkey.
donkeys are the most underrated animals I know of ------so I'm hoping we might start some educational process here... and granted I can't do it but then there's Karen currently with a broken? arm who loves the donkeys.. very enthusiastic and agile so if I sit and make suggestions maybe we can get six or eight of these donkeys usable... which basically means they will trot along with you quite willingly... and peppermint candy almost exceeds sliced carrots----- problem with peppermint candy too much as they begin to look for it and pinch.. which is why I try and promote frying pans instead of hands.. but for this pack burro race concept every donkey is supposed to carry a frying pan and a pick and a shovel.. so we're all set---
it does google,,,, looks like the donkeys enjoy it too.. in the photo most donkeys are actually leading their joggers.. but they do need preparation..it is not a race... but a n
.episode.. or happening,,,
