Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 I can say that at the Indiana State Fair this year, we had a very pleasant experience with a Carnie guy. It was at the " throw a ball into the bowl for a goldfish " game. We always buy a bucket of balls and let the boys go to town. After many attempts, and Dakota getting a ball in, Austin was down to one ball, and the Carnie guy lifted Austin over and let him slam dunk one! He held on to our fish until we were leaving, and then he gave us 3 fish and 2 goldfish bowl setups. They were supposed to be $5 apiece. He explained at the beginning that he has a little brother (10) with ds, and he was great! Austin and Dakota both had fish, and he felt better about being away from his little brother for a minute! Needless to say, the fish are gone, but I replaced them with Beta fish, lots of them. I have a shelf in the dining room lined with them, and a mirror behind them, and the boys watch them every meal! (the dining room decor is sea side, with shells, etc....trust me, it works...) Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll go out and feed the chickens and emus......but keeps his distance from the big ones. He'll feed the sheep and goats...and has learned that he can push them away if they get too close. But the pig, while he has no particular fondness for " Porky " (every year he names his pig Porky)....It just amazes me that this little 50 pound boy will get in that pen and push around this 300 pound SWINE with no fear!! I myself am intimidated by the pigs! The dogs remain his favorite. His fish he likes to talk to when he eats, the snake he likes to forget exists and the bird is just so loud it hurts his ears. Not much of an animal lover, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
