Dd 5 14. bbaby day!!!

baby donkey 2am...

the mic really it picks up everything \I just had to warn everybody I was going to dictate the daily doggy and it does pick up everything==== last night was an extremely exciting night um the the baby donkey was born without too much effort on our part Elizabeth was down there when I got there and we did remove the sack from the face and since the back legs were still in the mother we did give a little pull to get that all out and laying there and then we left her alone to solve the rest of it by herself um which she's done very well I left when it was still lying down because Janine was arriving and the big thing is don't touch the head nature has instructed baby animals to go toward whatever touches their head which is when they're looking for the ****** to nurse so that if you try and force the babies face toward the ****** the baby will try and go toward your hand and not the ****** this is a constant problem with all baby animals people figure they're helping and they're not you can put your hands on the rear end and push in the right direction maybe but it's almost better to leave the whole thing alone they manage these are wild animals and they do manage even baby puppies manage um and baby children don't touch the head when you're trying to have them nurse..

 

that was problem one a problem too was trying to feed the dogs at 7:00 in the morning we were minus the dog food the puppy food and we keep it in one of those big milk cans and I know we used it yesterday it's usually behind my desk and we're going to find it the damn thing is what 3 feet tall 2 feet tall you know what's a milk can and turns out in the process of going down to watch the baby being born Elizabeth husband nick grab the milk can for me to sit on how else could we possibly lose something that size but we've have now found it thankfully.

 

now aside from that you're we have a new person here today what did you what did you huh Marie Marie is here working with Judy today to get broken in um and that's where we are at the moment I have a lahey appointment early this morning and then we have an appointment at Gardner which is that very nice assisted living place in Danvers or Peabody I don't know which that we've been to quite a bit it's where larkey identified that woman with diabetes that we ended up putting in the newspaper and that's what's planned for the day

 

moving on
