dd 4 19



It says I am offline and not connected to the Internet yet it seems to pass emails to Elizabeth and Janine I never will understand this um it does seem to work connected to a different whatever the hell it is at the top out of the triangle there's a 37 bridge and that one seems to work and I don't know why and I probably never will I'm not even gonna try --so there 

today could  be exciting this is where someone called Janine and asked her to bring the dogs to some affair at the fairgrounds and Janine says well she would drop off her mother and the dogs which is where I am right now ready to be dropped off I will take only sizzle and lockie because it sounds like this is going to be full of dogs running loose maybe at any rate Janine did say she would come down for an hour or so and bring Elvis and maybe a goat or something depending on who she has around here to help this is just some sort of open agricultural exhibit deal and the problem now is with the fair is there aren't that many people with that many animals that even consider being public proof and then there's us we very merely have another one --Arthur Arthur is a mammoth donkey very much like Mary and he has in the last week been loose on the property the whole time and he is responding to Michelle whistling comes right along looking for a treat and he at least acknowledges me with the ball I haven't had a chance to practice that much when I say practice I mean reinforce the behavior with a treat but he certainly is an interesting character that's hanging around staying out of trouble and could probably be used in general public but he is big is a little thin right now but I'm not I don't think he's very old but if he rounds out he should be around 7 or 800 lbs

I can remember when the fair was in full swing they had a cattle barn filled with cows which they then milked on a regular basis to the entertainment of the crowd and they had an actual cattle show where they the four age kids showed them in hand it was very active and then it began to drop off very quickly and just to fill the cattle ring they used to hire me with my animal episodes um just to fill the cattle range because they had no cows and that's about the situation they're in now for this agricultural exhibit they've got nothing to exhibit except maybe a few crewmen great the beasts of ours... I say hiring hours our usual fee was $1000 a day for the whole troop which involved that crazy Rufus the cockatiels who I used to let run around the the red league fencing at the fairgrounds and he would constantly say  id that's all you can say? I have the dogs with the queen size bed with three or four dogs on the bed that's three or four dogs under the bed resting it really worked very well and paid very well.. for that same $1000 a day we were Santas farm on Boston Common

for 30 days. it was interesting and fun and a bit of a challenge to keep the general public from eating either our goats or our chickens I hired a gal the stay overnight on the bed because she was a trainer of attack dogs so with the couple snarling German shepherds she had no problems protecting our goats,

I don't know who else will be there and I shouldn't assume but it would be a sorry state of affairs if the most agricultural thing they can come up with there's a couple of dogs and a zebu . well unfortunately this is just an agricultural exhibit ohh I wish this was a paying job.

I am packed and ready to go and the only thing I know about it is I am apparently assigned the usual 8 foot table... so I will set out my monkey fists then see if I can make enough money to buy myself lunch---addressed ohh ready I'm all packed there it is take it out alright that that really is our packing you up I'm gonna bring everything over there get it all set up and come back for you really yeah because we can't we have to park way far away but not to put it all on the table at all yeah yeah these are my nieces are going to need them alright so I've got some stuff for you too I'm gonna bring a table and a dog bed so alright I'll be back we're going back yeah ohh yes this whole pile this could go with you what is this water it's all very critical should be fun

 

Janine has arrived to get me over there
