2nd place, 3rd place, 2nd place, 3rd place again....the suspense is going to kill me!!!!

luckily it is halloween night, which means i will be busy keeping 130 animals safe and trying to trick them into not freaking out from the fireworks.

the farm yard guys are already fed and in bed for the night and should be ok as long as no one gets really stupid and starts shooting fireworks at our fields and barns which happened a couple of years ago. frodo is locked in and the mp building is locked down with all of the lights on and the radios on LOUD!

the house guys are locked in and the lights are all on and the TV's are on full blast.... once the fireworks starts, i will be wandering around slamming cupboards and doors, banging pots and pans in the sink, walking around with a full mittful of yummy human cookies and dropping them.... creating even more disruptive and distracting chaos then what is happening outdoors. it usually works pretty good for storms and firework displays..but it is frazzling and exhausting disrupting the saints peace enough so they don't know what is happening outside. this is saints version of trick AND treat!

we will get thru tonight...and probably tomorrow and the next day and the days after that too....but it would be so much easier with that pepsi grant if we did not have to keep worrying about paying the vet bills!

please god...let get us back into 2nd and stay there til this stressful contest is over!!!!

Hoping SAINTS won big time but if not hopeful people like Linda above will help make something even bigger happen in the future! And all of us will put on our promoting booties on and go for the gold dammit!

Carol,
Windsor really worked at promoting themselves. You may not win this round but let's get busy to promote the next. Let's go for the $100, 000 next time. I will help.

What ever the outcome, I'm kind of hoping you will have a good sleep tonight after a day well done with your Saints. I very much enjoyed bathing Dee, Mandy and Pouchosy (?) today. Be well.

I sure hope SAINTS stays at least 2nd, if not first. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard for any aniimal group to receive money, especially when in competition with kids or poverty.
I really, really hope an animal groups (in this case SAINTS) wins something.
Yes, I am frustrated with the church folks and their media blitz because it is affecting SAINTS.....and I will stick by h ow I feel about it.
