Do I dare ask what the pidgeon incident was????
It was way back in 1984. I was on my first "West-pac" on the USS Enterprise. The ship pulled into Pearl Harbor, and myself and several shipmates pooled our money and got us a room at the Outrigger Hotel in Waikiki. I was standing out on the balcony eating doritos while my shipmates were out on a beer run.
A pigeon landed on the balcony rail, so I tossed a dorito on the deck for it. Instantly I was knee deep in pigeons. I backed into the room and some of the pigeons followed. Then I got an idea. I tossed a handfull of doritos on the deck and a lot of pigeons came into the room after them. I backed out of the room and into the hall, tossing doritos. The pigeons followed. I continued down the hall to the elevator. The pigeons followed. I pushed the elevator call button, and when the door opened, I tossed in a hand full of doritos. The pigeons went into the elevator. I reach in and pushed the lobby button, and the pigeons went down to the lobby, I went back to my room.
A few minutes later my shipmates returned with the beer, laughing their tails off. It seems they were in the lobby waiting for the elevator, with a bunch of tourists. When the door opened, a flock of pigeons flew out. People were running around screaming. When I told them what I had done they laughed harder. When we checked out there were still pigeons in the lobby rafters.
A few months later, on our way back to the US, the Enterprise stopped again in Pearl Harbor. My shipmates and I again went to the Outrigger Hotel. We were told we were not welcome there, or at any other Outrigger Hotel in Hawaii. How they found out it was me, I don't know.

I understand your point .. when Jessie was little there weren't any kids her age to play with (I miss those days) so I signed her up at the local YMCA for a couple hours a day twice a week so she could interact with other children ..
But then when she as her sister got older there was pre- school and then regular school and lots of friends to play with .. and then the dreaded VI's moved in ..
There are few cases like yours .. most families today put their kids in day care for few reason .. 1) both parent have no choice but to work to survive .. 2) both parent have to work to afford the big house that nobody spends any time in or 3) both parents work because they can't stand being around their kids because they are so dang spoiled and nang their parents ALL DAY LONG

Good point!
Her coloring should stay the same. She's an appaloosa. Poor little thing will never have much of a tail, though.
But Swervie, it's about other people's money...
She won't be the first female to have a little invisible reweaving.

You're right .. maybe I should send her down to YOUR house for the summer ..
