we were to get 4? more animals last night from the auction... the 2 she bid on and 2 work mules she had stored somewhere-- with the work mules needing some TLC. i think..
there is one hellion of a tiny mule at meridith-- not much bigger than lachy-- charged the fence and ran up and down ---- ears flat back... those sheep with him are totally safe from wolves or coyotes-- he is one terror.-- this is one thing donkeys are famous for-- guarding livestock. my stud donkey killed a samoyed one day that was bugging his family-- it is done with their teeth.. not kicking.... altho they use their front legs to confuse the issue, it is their teeth one grab and a shake and it was dead.
ok.. so today starts another week of trying to visit 100. people per week...with the 3 dogs... the place we are due to go to is Peabody adul care... and there is the ex bullfighter there... got to figure out a way to take advantage of that .. i mean how many bullfighters does one come across in ones lifetime???
wallace is more than that.... he got janine/olaf's horse to load on the trailer with no fuss at all..janine is a pretty good loader upper... and olaf had a person who is a trainer in the area... he has been dealing for months with the problem of loading... wallace took 2 trys an all of qa sudden the hore loads... so i had to hear how/why... turns out... turning is wallace's secret..i have seen him do this when bucking was a possibility.......he turns the horse sharply in a small circle-- which. they do not like -- then straightens them out and they walk right on....
that is a new one for me--- no whips or rakes or brooms--- just circle and bingo... there is a trick to every trade???
