SHORT DOGGIE------IT WAS A THREE KLONDIKE NIGHT..
I MUST PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE SIGN UP LIST FOR OVERNIGHTS..
IT REALLY WASN'T TOO BAD CHAOS IS GETTING EXPERIENCE-- AND SHE ASKS--- FOR
WATER--TO GO OUT-- FOR FOOD
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WAITING TIL SHE SETTLES DOWN WITH THE PUPS SO SHE
DOESN'T LIE ON ONE.
**************
MOXIE IS RESTING COMFORTABLY- SHE IS--- SO FAR --A VERY UNCOMPLICATED
GUEST...
**************
\
THE NEWS SAYS WITH THE STORM COMING PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE OLD
FOLKS IN THEIR AREA,'
THAT 'S ME-
**************
MEANWHILE..
BELLYS ARE UP---- OFF THE FLOOR TODAY. THE PUPS ARE BEGINNING TO TRAVEL..
THIS CHANGES THE BEDDING REQUIREMENTS... SO WE CAN HAVE A SOFT SLEEP PLAY AREA
AND AN AREA WITH GOOD TRACTION AS TEHY DRIFT FROM MOMMY TO PEE-- NEWSPAPERS DO
NOT FIT TH E BILL YET.. PUPS NEED CLOTH TRACTION-- WE HAVE SEVERAL OLD
BEDSPREADS WITH SLIGHT RIDGES( AND WASH EASILY..) AND BATH MATS FOR
DISTINGUISHING THE BED AREA.

MARY LOU HAS ARRIVED IN THE GUEST CABIN AND IS HAVING HER INITIAL BONDING
WITH FIONA...-- I TOLD HER SHE COULD BE OUT IN THE WORLD BY NOON TODAY..
***
WE ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE STORM.. I HOPE.. IT IS THE LACK OF
ELECTRICITY THAT COULD LAST A WEEK. THE MORE THEY TALK OF " WIND GUSTS" -- THE
MORE I THINK OF ALL THE OLD TREES IN AND AROUND US THE MORE I REMNEMBER IT CAN
TAKE WEEKS TO GET ELECTRICITY BACK AGAIN.
THE ONE THING I FORGOT IS TO HAVE SEVERAL WEEKS OF MEDICATION ON HAND..JUST
THINK OF A COUPLE BIG 24" TREES ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY SO I CAN'T GET CARS OUT...
LEAVING ME "OUT ON MY AS.S"--- MARY
- THE PHARMACY WOULD BE A LONG HAUL ON HER.
*****
OTHER THAN THAT WE ARE EXPECTRING A FAIRLY NORMAL STEW DAY
WE MAY HAVE SOME LIFT AND CARRY JOBS IN PREP
LIKE SHUTTING THE HAY LOFT DOOR.
****
THE OTHER EMAIL I HAVE TO WRITE TODAY IS A SHORT LECTURE ON LOADING A HORSE
OR MARY ONTO THE TRAILER
YOU CAN NOT PULL THEM ON BY TIGHTEING THE LEAD ROPE-- THAT CAUSE THEIR
HEAD TO GO UP AND THEN THEY RUN BACKWARDS.
YOU USE THE LEAD TO KEEP THIER HEAD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION== THEN-- AS IN
DRESSAGE -- IMPULSION MUST COME FROM THE REAR- EXCEPT IN THIS CASE IMPULSION
COMES FROM A BROOM OR SIMILAR OBJECT.
YOU ALL NEEDED TO KNOW THAT... WELL SOME OF YOU DID--- LIKE MADDY
I WILL NOW GO BACK TO CHAIR
