BIG JIM did his SECOND job on Saturday night (first little job was on
Easter Sunday).  He's a real pro at it!
    We had to wait aabout 45 mintues at the church for the newely married
couple .... BIG JIM was getting antsy -- well, "antsy" really isn't a good 
word
for it as he was standing perfectly still ... but he'd throw his head up and
down (never moving his feet at all) .... I finally got off the carriage and
stood by his head ..... As I "crooned" to him, he would lower his head and be 
a
little more content.
    AFter all the pics were taken, we proceeded to take the happily wedded
couple to the reception...... Right up Route 27 (pretty busy traveled highway
in Florida) we went -- BIG JIM just trotting at his usual pace (slow 
).
 It was several miles from the church to the receptiong and BIG JIM was 
eally
good.
    AFter we left the happy couple off, they wanted to take some more pics so
BJ had to stand still again ... it was quite obvious that something was
bothering him but at the time I didn't know what.
    Soon as we got back to our trucks and unhitched BJ from the carriage I 
tied
him to the horse trailer so I could help Buddy load up the carriage ....... 
BIG
JIM stretched himself out (by that time I KNEW what was the matter) ..... and
his peeded and peeded and PEEDED ..... poor ol' guy had a full bladder and
evidently would not do it in harness .....
    Sooooooo, that's the story of our second job with BIG JIM. He's really
working out well for us.
