October 20, 2012

 WHERE TO START???
OVERNIGHT?....  THOSE  3 KIDS DID A FANTASTIC JOB  INCLUDING  PUTTING HAND WRITTEN SIGNS WITH ANSWERS IN FRONT OF THE LENS AND SEEING THE RESPONSE ON EXPLORE.ORG.
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ARE SAVED IN A BOX INTHE OVERFLOW ROOM.. THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK IN THE MAKEING...
 
99.9% WERE PLEASENT, HELPFUL OBSERVATIONS  --- BUT I MUST SHARE 2 OF THE  MORE  "UNUSUAL" COMMENTS  ..
"THE 2 STILLBORNS WERE CAUSED BY YOUR USING CELL PHONES IN THE ROOM." 
AND A PERSON CALLED THE IPSWICH POLICE SAYING THAT CHAOS WAS BEING TORCHERED ANDS WAS DYING-- CAUSING THE ANIMAL CONTROL  SUBSTITUTE PERSON TO CALL.
 
WELL MOTHERHOOD IN GENERAL IS A SOMEWHAT RISKY AFFAIR...  HOWEVER... WE WERE WELL WITHIN THE  WELL DEFINED LIMITS OF SUPERCARE.
 
I KNEW GETTING INTO THIS ----THAT IT WOULD BGE A VERY LIVELY CHALLANGE--
 
AND IT IS.
***************
WE  ARE CAUGHT IN THAT  "FOR WANT OF A NAIL THE SHOE WAS LOST. THEN THE HORSE , RIDER, BATTLE  AND KINGDOM - ALL FOR WANT OF A NAIL.." KIND OF DEAL..
******
I SPILLED A TEASPOON OF COFFEE GRINDS ON THE COUNTER AND THOUGHT IF I DON'T PICK IT UP MYSELF,  BECAUSE OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE NOW INVOLVED... IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES...
*********
SOMEHOW I NEED TO GET THAT CONCEPT ACROSS TO TH EWORLD.  ESPECIALLY WITH TOMORROW'S STEW  ABOUT WHICH SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TALKING.
*********
CHIP IS COMING UP TODAY--- HE IS A HOLDOVER FROM THE ORIGIONAL PUPPY HILL CAMERA GANG-- AND HE IS WILLING TO BGE HELPFUL--- SO HE IS WELCOME.
 
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE OFFERING  TO VOLUNTEER TO COMEHERE AND PAT PUPPIES-- BUT THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE POO PICKING INVOLVED-- WE DO NOT NEED THOSE SPECTATORS-- UNLESS THEY COME BEARING HUGE CHECKBOOKS.
 
TECHNICALLY... IF WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH POOPICKER TYPESEVEN  THE HUGE CHECKBOOK WOULD NOT SAVE US...  SO WE HAVE TO KEEP PERSPECTIVE.  HIRED PICKER OR   VOLUNTEER-- WE NEED HELP...
 
I SAID ( I THINK I SAID ONLINE)  PEOPLE COMING HERE FOR STEW  SHOULD ARRIVE WITH WORK GLOVES AND A BROOM OR RAKE-- SO TOMORROW IF YOU SHOULD SEE SUCH A PERSON ARRIVE... WELCOME THEM WITH OPEN HANDS.   ALSO WE SEEM TO BE OUT OF BROOMS..
( LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL  "HAPPY AS A WITCH IN A BROOM FACTORY")
 
SO BACK TO TRYING TO  GET HOLD OF WHERE WE ARE....
LAST NIGHT THE  INTERNET WENT DOWN AND  THE COMMENTS WERE "SHE MUST HAVE SHUT IT DOWN OVERNIGHT-"  SO I SHUT THE WHOLE THING OFF-
 
WITHIN 10 MINITES I HAD  TIM ( SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE NORTH POLE AND VANCOUVER)--- AND JONATHAN-- MAYBE SANFRANCISCO ON THE PHONE   THERE WERE 10,000'S OF PEOPLE WATCHING THIS AND IF I AM GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN I SHOULD LET THEM KNOW SO THEY CAN DEAL... WHOOPS.....  I KNEW THERE WERE  ALOT  OF PEOPLE--   BUT  I HAD TO RE-DEFINE ALOT...
 
SO  WE-- AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT-- REBOOTED THE OPERATION-- AND GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN.
 
SO BACK TO MY SPILLED  TEASPOON OF COFFEE-  I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE PEOPLE  FOLLOW THIS LETTER ALONG WITH THE OTHER BUNCH-- WE CAN DO THAT --- EVEN WITH MOXIE MOVING IN SOON--
 
BUT TO KEEP IT ALL UP TO VIDEO STANDARDS WE ARE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP-- AND EXPLORE DID AT ONE POINT SAY THEY WOULD PAY FOR ANY EXPENSES.   I NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEONE ABOUT  NEEDING HELP SO WE DON'T STRESS OUR EXISTING VOLUNTEER SETUP.
 
 THEY SEEM TO BE THRILLED WITH THE "RESULTS"  APPARENTLY THE NUMBERS ARE HUGE -  WE HAVE RECIEVED ABOUT $1000 DONATIONS. YESTERDAY BETWEEN PAYPAL AND  CHICKEN SH#T. 
 
FOR $1000 PER DAY - WE CAN DEAL WITH  ABOUT ANYTHING- AND IN THE PROCESS PRODUCE 3 OR 4 TIMES THE NUMBER OF SERVICE DOGS. 
ONCE WE SEE WHAT THE  ON GOING FINANCIAL COMMITTMENT   WILL BE-- WE CAN MAKE BETTER PLANS.
 
AT THE MOMENT WE ARE AT THE BRING A BROOM STATE...
 
STAY TUNED..
***********MEANWHILE
MEGAN WENT WITH TEAL AND 57 TO SCHOOL-- SAISD THE PEOPLE IN SCHOOL ARE RELALY HAPPY WITH TEAL AND 57--  THERE WAS ONE GLITCH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND--- APPARENTLY 57'S AID FORGOT TO TAKE HER TO LUNCH AGAIN--  WHICH SHE DID WHEN 57 WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR..   BETTER TEACH TEAL TO BARK ON COMMAND SO  THAT AID WOULDN'T  LET 57 STARVE...
*************
 
MAJOR DISASTER-- WITH HER BROKEN HIP--- IS IN REHAB IN SALEM NH. ..-- AND THEY KNOW ME-- SO GREG AND GWEN OFFERED TO TAKE PUMPKIN UP FOR A VISIT....
************
GEORGE DECLARED CHOAS EMPTY OF PUPS-- AND SHE    PASSED 3 AFTERBIRTHS ( WE THINK)-- SHE LOOKS COMFORTABLE.
**********
ALL THE REST OF THE DOGS NEED SOME PERSONAL TIME-- SO REGULAR VOLUNTEERS COME ALONG AND HELP
 
************

$4.39 A GALLON 
I STARTED THESE FURNACES A $1.15 A GAL
