Dd 4 28 wow 28. How did we get to the
end of the month so quickly ???..
Gwen has arrived in the middle of yesterday having gotten
tangled up with commuting traffic in Albany at 7:00 AM and then Boston
commuting traffic on 1/28 a couple hours later so she's studying time versus
traffic.
Janine got here later then we expected because she too got
tangled up in Albany traffic thanks to following her computer
directions. Somehow I wish at this younger generation would at least have
a look at a printed map and get the general idea of where they're
going.. The worst case scenario is Judy who can't approach route one and
not understand which way is the Atlantic Ocean... I can Remember when I
was very young. There was a game similar to monopoly. Where you had toothpicks
in a map of the United states and you worked against l the timer to put
toothpicks in all the states-- cities—big things like Mississippi
river. ---whatever of any specific letter This younger generation could really
stand that game to at least get their bearings about big things like North Pole
and South Pole or as in my specific case Maine versus Florida.
However now that both of them are here I have a very
complete list of things I must not talk about in the daily doggy .
I find it very interesting that Gwen who works on a computer
all day keeps a second monitor running -- not with our cameras-- but with an
explore camera focused on an eagle nest where two eggs have
hatched. I think this is a description ohh many of our goldies
warriors.. Where they get enjoyment out of having a camera running in the
background which is not tremendously exciting but just providing a general
interest - I don't know how else to explain why 170 people. Would watch yesterdays mail
call... where we had not very exciting news--- With the possible exception of
the fact that Janine was due to arrive with the pig. That was exciting and it
starts a new phase of trying to understand how and why of the mind of a
pig-- and so far all I have to report is the fact that yes when brought in
the door and turned loose with my dogs it behaved just like another
dog.. With the possible exception ohh it does not seem to have any
instinct to put its nose down to try and find food because if I have a nice
piece of watermelon on a fork he will come over and grab it beautifully but if
I drop it it's a federal project the trying to describe to him to put his nose
down and find the food I dropped. The same thing was evident when Justin
hand fed sally Our freely roaming Turkey when she was thrilled to eat the
canned corn out of his hand but when he dropped a few and pointed at it with
his toe as you would do with a dog Sally had no instinct to see
what his foot was doing at all.
Now that doesn't sound monumental—eexcept in our business if
you'll call it a business we have to provide animals that have been introduced
to the concept a big hand fed.. -- Sally had no instinct to look at
the end of his toe for some dropped corn-- but very readily followed his
hand as he reached down to point at it.. Believe it or not that is one of
the the things we have to do before we take an animal into a nursing home
environment. We need to get our animals totally focused
on.. Hopefully a small frying pan as the source our snack..
Doesn't sound like much-- but it's one of the things
that your $10 donations have to be spent on-- in order for us to provide
perfect visits of animals. Their Basic Instinct must be to seek a treat
out of a frying pan.. Instead of any patient hands.
With the variety of animals we have that are now what I call
elevator proof... It has taken a significant amount of time to get that focus
on the pan.
Now just think about that for a while-- to a Pig the
tapping of a toe add a piece of watermelon has absolutely no meaning
