I am trying to write the article for next Wednesday's newspaper keeping in mind that I have zero medical training but I have raised horses dogs and children----and in an effort to explain why we moved mo over to Meredith farm, I have gotten into a mental spiral ---Of. what is the similarity between airplanes kindergarten, dog shows, and horse auctions... it is becoming painfully obvious that they are just Petri dishes for various illnesses people in COVID.... children and runny noses..... dog shows kennel cough...... and horse auctions strangles.....----
strangles is an unfortunate name for a horrendously runny nose on a horse usually not strangling any. ---- even though any of those things can be fatal they're not usually.
in the process of trying to describe why we moved Moe to Meredith I have to bend over backwards not to expose us to any criticism about passing germs around.. and a fancy word like quarantine---we are totally aware of quarantine measures in handling all these animals from Pennsylvania--but should we have any in question, crazy acres does have one stall in a different barn that has different water supply different food supply different pastures area and would minimize the chance of passing any germs around to put an animal in that stall. now if there's anyone in the world that thinks you can sterilize the barn environment and wanna pass a bunch of laws about this they are just plain nuts.. ask China about that.. we can do all we can do which is a lot... including having footbaths with Clorox solution when you go into or out of that separate area.. but it is impossible.
we built that ICU building--with just that concept in mind of having a dog with a problem that needed isolation---we can deal there everything is washable
but there again if you think that's going to be 100% ------please go away... and don't fill the Internet with concepts which are not going to be operational.
I have always pitied the single mother who has a job.. and a plan to drop off the child at daycare so she can be on time at 10:00 o'clock... when at 9:46 she notices a slightly damp spot on the child's upper lip quickly wipes it off... drops the child off... it gets the phone call at noon come get your child he's got a runny nose... so she has to leave her job go pick up the runny nose, even though by then the child's contaminated the 23 other children in the room.. who will then go home and spread it to their parents.. this is how it works ----Petri dishes---
not to mention the airplanes who swear they filter all the air being circulated... and then they test the slurry of contents from the bathroom to see if anyone on that flight had COVID...
so I will have to say that mo got movedc to accommodate the two black horses who need training in the arena by Wallace. yesterday it was on camera at three o'clock---I don't know what his continuing schedule is but we are going to try and set up something regular so people can watch it on the explore.org camera.
p.s I am pretty sure everyone at crazy acres has already had strangles... and I believe it is a onetimer.
