I COULD HEAR CAP,   WOW!!   WAS HE MAD.   BUT I KNEW HE WOULD GET HOLD OF HIS RAGE AND THINK OF THE TASK AS HAND.   FINDING THE BAS    NOPE EVEN THAT WORD WAS TO GOOD FOR HIM.   BUT CAP WOULD FIND HIM AND THEN WHAT.     THERE HAD TO BE A PLACE IN THIS KINGDOM THAT WAS SO FOUL NO ONE WANTED TO GO THERE FOR MORE THAN A SECOND.    I HAVE NOT BEEN EVERYWHERE IN THIS WORLD.  HAD MADE THE TRIP TO THE DARK TOWER,   BUT EVEN THERE WAS TOO GOOD.   I HAD NEVER BEEN ANY FURTHER THAN THE SULTANS TO THE EAST.   SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT LIES BEYOND THERE.   

MAYBE ANGEL WOULD KNOW,  I'LL HAVE TO ASK.   AND OF COURSE THE CAP WOULD KNOW.    I CONTINUED TO PONDER THE THOUGHT AS I GOT BACK TO WORK. 

I sat with the poor inocent  donkey asking myself over and over why? but mostly who and my heart ached and tears fell.

Melody was talking to Hoss about what she came up with so we could turn the boy without doing any more damage.

Hoss said I know exactly what you need be right back as  grabed his axe and Butch and headed to the forest.

He came back with four tree limbs and said this will work as Melody looked at him and nodded,

Yes this will work but there is not enough room in the cart we have to take him out  Hoss said got an idea but I need a few things --- ai said what do you need and I will get it.

Well I think that shelter over there would be good for space and protection could be a canvas to cover the sides  good good idea Butch  can you find an old shps sail?

I am sure Salty would know  an off he went

In the mean time we prepared the lean to cleaned it out and  put fresh hay down .

Melody  that table will be to hard on him I have an idea I called Charlie,

Right here Cap what do you need?

How much of that wool do you have left and would you bring me as much as you can.

CAP'S QUESTION MADE ME LAUGH.   WOOL,  THE LOFT IS FULL,  THERE IS A BOX IN THE BACK OF THE BARN I KEEP SOME IN FOR FINN, AND HIS PEOPLE.    I WOULD SAY SEVERAL TONS.   I ALSO HAVE ENOUGH FLEECES IF SEWN TOGETHER WOULD PROBABLY BLANKET THE CASTLE.  

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED, AND WHY?   

WITH ALL THE SHEEP THAT END UP NOT MAKING IT WHEN WE HAVE THE WEIRD STORM.  I HAVE MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.   AND A LOT OF THE FARMERS WHO TAKE IN THE INJURED AFTER THEY ARE BETTER.   BRING MOST OF THE SHEARING HERE TO STORE SO THE S O B. IN THE CASTLE CAN'T TAX THEM. THEY ONLY KEEP AS MUCH AS THEY THINK WILL GO UNDER HIS RADAR.  OF COURSE IF THEY NEED MORE FOR TRADE THEY COME AND GET IT.   

IF THE STORMS CONTINUE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD A HUGE BARN TO STORE IT OR FIND A WAY TO SELL IT OUT OF THIS KINGDOM.    HUMMM!   MAYBE THAT BLOODY PIRATE COULD SELL IT AT SOME OTHER PORT.   I KNOW HE WILL WANT A BIG CUT.  BUT.

OH, SORRY CAP GOT OFF ON ANOTHER TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

YOU CAN HAVE ALL YOU WANT.   

ANGEL SAID YOU HAD THAT DONKEY IN A CART.   YOU NEED TO GET HIM OUT OF IT.   YOU CAN'T JUST LIFT HIM OUT.  WHAT ABOUT A SLING IF YOU CAN RIG IT I AM SURE BLOSSOM COULD EASILY LIFT IT AND MOVE THE DONKEY SAFELY ELSEWHERE.

JUST LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH I WILL LOAD THE CART AND HAVE BABY BRING IT TO YOU.  

MEANWHILE, ANGEL IS IN HER OFFICE RACKING HER BRAIN ON THE BEST WAY TO SET A TRAP FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LITTLE DONKEY'S INJURIES.  THEN, THE PROVERBIAL LIGHTBULB GOES OFF!  TEE-HEE

CLOUD CITY TIMES

A BIG REWARD IS BEING OFFERED FOR THE RETURN OF A MISSING LITTLE DONKEY!  A BAG OF GOLD IS YOURS FOR HIS SAFE RETURN!  PLEASE CONTACT THE EDITOR (ANGEL) FOR VERFICATION OF SAID DONKEY AND CLAIM THE REWARD.  NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

I CHANGE MY AMULET TO SPEAK: OK, CAP.  IT'S DONE.  I DECIDED TO POST A REWARD OF A BAG OF GOLD FOR THE LITTLE DONKEY'S SAFE RETURN.  IT'LL BE IN THE MORNING EDITION.  MY GUESS IS SOMEONE WILL SHOW UP WITH ANOTHER DONKEY FROM SOMEWHERE, TO GET THE REWARD, SO BE READY TO RUMBLE.....

I CHANGE MY AMULET BACK TO LISTEN, THEN DECIDE TO HEAD OVER TO SEE DOOGIE.  AFTER SEEING THIS LATEST LITTLE ONE AND HIS INJURIES REMINDED ME OF WHEN WE FIRST GOT DOOGIE, AND I JUST WANT TO GO GIVE HIM A BIG HUG AND A TREAT.  WHILE VISITING DOOGIE, I HEAR COMMOTION OUTSIDE AND I SEE CHARLIE DIRECTING THE LOADING OF A CART WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF WOOL!  

HEY, CHARLIE, WHAT'S ALL THAT FOR?  SHE SAYS CAP ASKED FOR IT, DON'T KNOW WHY YET, BUT NO MATTER, CAP WANTS WOOL, WOOL HE'LL GET!  

ANGEL, I KNOW I HAVE SENT THE GROUND TROOPS TO HELP THE CAP,  OTHER THAN NOSE,  THEY WON'T BE MUCH HELP AT TRACKING.  GATHERING INFORMATION YES,  THAT THEY CAN DO.   AND GRIFF WILL BE IN THE AIR.   SURE HE CAN HELP IF CAP NEEDS IT.  BUT IF HE IS ATTACKED BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACH CAP BEFORE HE IS HURT.  MAYBE I AM JUST AN OLD WORRY WART.  BUT CAP ALWAYS GETS INTO SOME KIND OF TROUBLE.    MAYBE I WILL ASK HIM IF HE DOESN'T THINK HE SHOULD TAKE ONE OF THE DIRE'S WITH HIM.    JUST A THOUGHT.  I KNOW I WORRY ABOUT HIM WHEN HE IS IN THIS SORT OF A MOOD.   DOESN'T ALWAYS THINK BEFORE HE JUMPS INTO SOMETHING. 

The lean to was almost ready  and we were working on getting the tree limbs in place so they could be used as handles but this has to be done very slow and very carefully as not to jar him and hurt him more.

The second table was built by the boys and was ready  but my mind was going a mile a minute Melody  this idea is okay for now but would it not be better if is was  tin or metal so you can disinfect it?

But of course she snaped sorry did not mean yo snap at you I am just so worried about the boy...... I hugged her and said it is okay  we all are on edge,

She looked so tired  I said  it will be okay  but in my heart I was not sure but I have faith.

I hear Angel  tell me what she came up with and that is will be posted in tomorrows  paper so be ready to rumble

I smiled at that and oh I was so ready  to rumble,

Great job Angel  great idea well done.

My Amulet crackles Cap Butch here I am with Salty and he knows were I can get a ships sail but he said he has an idea who I am looking for  says he is evil as they come and right off his Rocker  he says he will get more info for you and let you know

Okay Butch get that sail and get back here as fast as you can Chalie has the wool for us

Aye Cap on my way ,,, Salty thanks if any one would know you would.

Charlie Cap here  .... right here Cap and Baby is on the way with a load of wool and p;enty ,pre as you need oh I was thinking should you not have Smoke with you??

HOPE HE TAKES THAT TO HEART.   FROM THE SOUND OF IT THE GUY HE IS AFTER IS A NASTY PIECE OF GOODS.   SMOKE WILL KEEP HIM SAFE. 

To tell you the truth Charlie I am so enraged  at finding the POS I was not thinking of not  doing this alone but I am taking all your advice  and I will  take it under the conduction that no one puts there life at risk  and yes I will have Smoke with me

Just got the wool and sure would use as much as you can send.

O did think about Blossom to lift the boy but a sling would be to flimsy and to hard for us to get him on and off that is why I thought of the wool .

Charlie Melody here  I have a question if I may

Is it you that do the hove clipping and trimming or is there some one tht does it for you?

I can not for the of me find my kit  so could you let me know I asked Randy but he is so out of it all he said was ask you.

When I checked the boy over I saw his hove and it is a miracle he could walk they are that bad I bet his teeth are just as bad

I shake my head as to agree with Melody but also to try and clear my head

The stress and lack of sleep is beginning to take its toll but I terfuse to givr in untill I knpw thr boy will make.

Randy could you hold his lips up sp I can see his teeth ?

I opened his lips an we both saw that his teeth were bad but worse they were not closed meaning he could not chew his food it would have been to painful and what food he tryed to swallow would be to dry and by trying to swallow  he could of got * CHOKE * and killed him.

Oh my God what this boy has been put through at least he has the feeding tube and is getting nourishment slowly.

Melody managed to file down the one side saying I will get the other side when we setele him on the other side .

I said I am glad he can not feel that and with a raised eyebrow she said Randy does it hurt when you clip your finger or toe nails ?  well no I said well this is the same tging it does not hurt them but it will if not done .

I stand corrected.

Melody would you be hurt or upset with me if I asked Charlie to come look at him?

I know you are a great vet and do work on larger animals  but our Charlie is a farm girl has hands on experience you can say it is in her bllod.

But of course I would welcome her help and knowledge  and I would benefit  from her knowledge .

I grabbed her and kissed her  thank you then we both turned bright red.......

I called  Charlie Cap here would you come  I need to pick your brain.
