BIG ... WELL ACTUALLY VERY TINY... NEWS
WE TOOK NOEL DOWN TO GEORGE FOR A "FREE FINGER FEELIE " PREGO EXAM-- AND HE ALSO DID AN ULTRASOUND
AS HE CRAWLED AROUND THE FLOOR-- HE SAID "THERE IS ONE PUP"--
WHAT SEEMED LIKE 14 HOURS OF AGONY LATER HE SAID" THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PUP."
SO BARRING THE UNFORSEEN-- ALONG ABOUT THE FIRST OF FEB-- WE SHOULD HAVE NEW PUPPIES...
BUMPY X NOEL SO DON'T LOOK FOR ALL HARLS... SINCE BOTH PARENTS ARE BLACK. YOU MIGHT GET SOME BLACK AND SOME BLACK WITH WHITE MARKINGS
THE OLIVE ( MERLE) WITH WALTER OR BUMPY IS MORE PROMISING FOR COLOR
OLIVE X BUMPY (MERLE X BLACK/WH) SHOULD/COULD BE 50% BLACK 25% MERLE 25% HARL
OLIVE X WALTER (MERLE X HARL) COULD BE 25%MERLE 25%HARL 25%BLACK 25% WHITE
THAT 25% WHITE COULD BE DEAF IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH BLACK SPOTS... WE HAVE TRAINED SOME GREAT DEAF DOGS-- THE ENTIER LITTER DEAF WOULD NOT BE FUN/// BUT ONE DEAF HERE AND THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM... AT LEAST YET.. ---- PANDEMONIUM WAS A LOVELY DOG...
SOMEWHERE THERE EXISTS A CHART OF THE POSSIBLE PERCENTAGES OF COLORS FROM BREEDING HARLS... A GENETIC STUDY-- FI ANYONE CAN FIND THAT CHART PASS IT ON TO ME-- I HAVE THE PRINTED CHART HERE IN TH EOFFICE... IT SEEMS PRETTY ACCURATE OVER TH LONG RUN.

LAST NIGHT'S INFOMERCIAL CONCERNED HAIR LOSS- THEY CONSTANTLY MADE THE COMMENT "YOU CAN SWIM WITH THIS HAIR PRODUCT"
IN MY SEMI AWAKE STATE-- I THOUGHT "BEFORE SOMEONE SMEARS THIS ALL OVER THEIR HEAD AND JUMPS IN THE DEEP END-- THEY BETTER KNOW HOW TO SWIM IN THE FIRST PLACE."
***************
HAIR----MY ABILITY TO TRAIN DOGS IS SECOND TO MY ABILITY TO GROW HAIR. I DID HAVE A 24" LONG BRAID-- WHICH I DONATED TO LOCKS OF LOVE--
I HAD TO CUT IT OFF- GRAVITY BEING WHAT IT WAS - THE FACT THAT IT TOOK THE BACK OF MY NECK 48 HOURS TO DRY AFTER I WASHED IT MADE FOR GREAT CULTURE MEDIUM... AND FUNNY THINGS BEGAN TO GROW IN THE FOREST OF THE BACK OF MY HEAD., I TRIED TO AIR IT OUT -- AFTER WASHING IT-- TO TIE IT UP AND OVER THE RAFTERS WHILE I SIT AT THE COMPUTER.
JANINE CAME IN AND THOUGHT I 'D BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. THAT DIDN'T WORK-- IT HAD TO GO.
SO I NOW HAVE SHORT HAIR- WHICH IS MUCH MORE LABOR INTENSIVE .. IT NEEDS CUTTING OFTEN. LUCKILY JIL-- A CAMERA PERSON WHO WATCHES THE CONDITION OF MY HEAD, COMES ROUND WITH HER HAIR CUTTING SCISSORS WHEN I BEGIN TO LOOK TOO SHABBY ON THE TV.-- HOPEFULLY TODAY IS THE DAY.
EVEN EARLENE JOINED IN THE "CARLENE'S HAIR PROBLEMS" AND GOT ME A CURLING IRON-- MINUS THE DIRECTIONS-- AFTER I NEARLY SET FIRE TO MY HEAD, SHE SHOWED ME HOW TO ONLY SLIGHTLY FRY IT INTO CURVES
I AM SUPPOSED TO LOOK NORMAL BY NEXT MONDAY.

AND ANNE IS BLOWING HER NOSE...AND WORRYING ABOUT PRESSURIZING HER EARS IN FLIGHT.
IT WILL BE A FUN TRIP

I SPENT SOME TIME ON THE PHONE WITH TIM ( EXPLORE TECHNICAL PERSON...) YESTERDAY DOING ALL SORTS OF TECHNICAL THINGS ---I FELT VERY SOPHISTICATED.... PUSH THE RED BUTTON TWICE- NOW... UNPLUG... PLUG IN... THINGS LIKE THAT.
HE WANTS TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS TODAY-- IN THAT BOX IN THE BARN--- AND I AM TO CALL HIM ABOUT 9AM TODAY---
I HOPE PAUL SHOWS UP--- BEING HARD OF HEARING- NOT IN STEP WIHT CELL PHONES IN GENERAL AND STANDING ON A LADDER IN TH EPUPPY ROOM IN THE BARN... MAY PROVE A CHALLANGE TO ME. ( AND PROBABLY A BIGGER CHALLANGE TO TIM)
***************
SHELIA-- A PERSON FROM DANVERS WHO HAS A HOME SERVICE COMPANY CAME BY WITH HER HUSBAND AND AN ELECTRICAL GENUIS WHO WILL GET OUR DRYING MACHING RUNNING SOON----?THIS WEEK? / THIS IS FRIDAY???
HE SUGGESTS IT DRAWS SO MUCH ELECTRICITY THAT WE DON'T RUN IT ON HIGH-- SOUNDS REASONABLE...
SHE OFFERD TO VOLUNTEER AND I SUGGESTED SHE START IN TODAY- or whenever... she has had danes and is a great puppy patter.
