December 18, 2012

the "CHICKEN POO"   food and fuel bill for January is coming along-
 
-earlene and i became painfully aware about the increase in the oncoming food bill last night when the pups demanded a midnight snack.  earlene dumped in cup after cup-- which lasted 23 seconds and finally we dumped in a large dog food dish into each pen before the settled.
 
THEY ARE A BUNCH OF DARLINGS  WITH A FEW SOB'S    OR MAKE THAT DOB'S-----  MAGGIE FINALLY HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP TIL SHE WORE HERSELF OUT..
 
YESTERDAY'S SPOON FEEDING WENT REALLY WELL-- BY THE TIME I GOT THRUI 1/4 CAN PER PAIR OF PUPS, THEY WERE SITTING AND WAITING FOR TH E NEXT
 
thus proving they are capable of reasoning.
SO MORE SPOONING TODAY-- AND MAYBE THE FIGURE 8 HARNESS   TO GET THEM STARTED ON WEARING  A COLLAR/HARNESS-- AND WHEN YOU DO... RULES CHANGE... YOU HAVE TO BEHAVE..
 
BEHAVING IS CRITICAL TO BEING ABLE TO  GO OUT AND AROUND WITH THEM--- AS  IT IS WITH CHILDREN
 
THE CHUPPIES ARE READY FOR THAT.. NOT THE  MUPPIES YET-
 
NOW I MUST STOP ALL DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NOEL AND OLIVE POSSIBLE PREGNANCIES--  BRINGING UP NAMES NOW IS A BAD THEING-- IT SEEMS TO JINX THE PREGNANCY
THIS IS WHY I HAVE A RULE HERE THAT THE FIRST PERSON TO SEE A PUP... OR ANY PART OF A PUP  IS THE ONE TO CHOOSE/AND NAME THE PUP.
 
AS SOON AS ANY ARE BORN -- THEN YOU CAN ARGUE ABOUT THE NAMES...  FIRST WE NEED LIVE,NURSING PUPS.
AND BUNPY IS DOING DUE DILIGENCE..  BUT THERE IS MANY A SLIP TWIXT CUP AND LIP....
 
TODAY...
YELLOW HAS TO GO FOR XRAYS. ABOUT NOON.
 
I CAN'T REALLY SAY HE IS LAME-- OR EVEN HARDLY LIMPING... BUT I NOTICED WHEN HE IS STANDING AROUND HE HAS ALL HIS WEIGHT ON ONE FRONT FOOT --- DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH... EXCEPT..... HE IS ONE I WANT TO USE FOR BREEDING  AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING GENETICALLY WRONG WITH HIM I WANT TO KNOW IT NOW..  ELBOWS ON A DANE CAN ALSO BE A PROBLEM--- I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WITH IT... BUT THEY TELL ME....
WHEN GEORGE AND HIS EDUCATED FINGERS POKED HE DISCOVERED YELLOW HAS MUCH LESS MUSCLE  DEVELOPEMENT  IN THAT SHOULDER...  INDICATING HE HAS BEEN FAVORING IT FOR A LONG TIME...  HE RUNS AND JUMPS WITH THE REST OF THEM... BUT IT IS VERY SUBTLE...  ALL 4 FEET ARE ON THE FLOOR--- BUT HIS WEIGHT IS NOT EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED.
 
GEORGE GAVE ME A BUNCH OF PUPPY BREATH VIALS   TO KEEP THE SUPPLY GOING.
 
GOING TO GEORGE'S AT NOON AND DOING THE SPOON AND FIGURE 8 TRAINING IS ABOUT ALL I CCN MANAGE TODAY
 
I DID ORDER THE CHAIN LINK FOR THE LAUNDRY AND NUTT HOUSE...THOSE WILL REPLACE TH EONES I GOT FROM THE BOXFORD DUMP 10 YEARS AGO...  THIS IS THANKS TO  A BROOKSBY VILLAGE RESIDENT WHO OFFERED TO HELP--  TO WHICH I ADDED  SEVERAL   BIG  CHECKS FROM THE CAMERA PEOPLE..  TO REPLACE THE RUSTED RELICS IS $5200-- THAT IS WITH A DISCOUNT AND NO SALES TAX...AND  BANK CHECK INSTEAD OF A CHARGE CARD...
 
WE NEEDED THAT--- BENTLY FOUND HE COULD GRAB THAT OLD CHAIN LINK AND PULL THE LINKS SO FAR OUT OF LINE THAT HE COULD THEN SNEAK THRU.--- MUCH OF IT WAS THE LIGHTER CHAIN.. THE NEW WILL BE THE HEAVIER---  AND KNUCKLE KNUCKLE ----
 
 THAT MEANS NO POINTY WIRES STICKING UP-- BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM WILL BE BENT
 
THE REAL PROBLEM AND CHAIN LINK  COST IS  CHINA IS TAKING ALL OUR SCRAP IRON-- THERE IS VERY LITTLE MADE HERE ANYMORE
YOU ALL KNOW THAT.
 
THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THAT IS ALL THE POLUTION THAT GOES WITH RECYCLING METALS   GOES TO CHINA ALSO--- EVENTUALLY IT DRIFTS HERE BUT AT LEAST IS DILUTED.
 
BUT THEN THERE ARE ALL THOSE PRODUCTS THAT COME  FROM CHINA IN SEALLED PLASTIC BAGS..  WHEN YOU  OPEN THEM ISN'T THAT THE SAME CHINESE POLUTED AIR  THAT THEY SHIP OVER???
