PIMENTOS-- I HAVE DECIDED UNILATERALLY THAT THIS GROUP ( HOPEFULLY) SHOULD
BE THE PIMENTOS- AND I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WOULD VOTE FOR
ALMONDS-- OR WITH WHATEVER ELSE THEY STUFF OLIVES..
BUT PIMENTOS IT IS-- SO JUST STOP THINKING.
AND THEN THE CAMERA PEOPLE...
I WROTE A LONG GOOD MORNING COMMENT ABOUT CAMERA STUFF AND APPARENTLY IT
WAS TOO LONG BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT REGISTER/POST.....
BASICALLY-- THEY SEEMED TO BE IN A SWIVET ABOUT WELCOMING SOMEONE NEW TO
THE GROUP- . I EXPLAINED BECAUSE OF MY SENIOR MEMORY I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHO IS
NEW OR OLD..- BUT IF THEY ALL GOT INTO A NEGATIVE ARGUEMENT I WOULD GIVE THEM
TIME OUT AND TURN THE CAMERA TO TH E WALL.
SEEMED APPROPRIATE.
********************
WE HAVE A HUGE DEDICATED FOLLOWING... AND THEY WANT TO SEE THE CHUPPIES AND
MUPPIES ALONG WITH THE NUPPIES AND PIMENTOS...
.
I WANT TO REASSURE THEM THAT AS THE CHUPPIES AND MUPPIES GRADUATE TO THE
BARN/KENNEL I WILL TRY AND DO THE GOPRO THING WHILE THEIR TRAINING MOVES INTO
THE MALLS AND OTHER HEATED AND AIRCONDITIONED PLACES.
I REMEMBER--- ANOTHER TRAINING FACILITY WE WENT TO AT SOME CONFERENCE-
WHERE THEY HAD A BIG TRAINING ROOM WITH A BUNCH OF FOLDING CHAIRS LINED UP LIKE
A BUS WHERE THEY PRACTICED TRAVEL TRAINING.
WE USE THE TRAIN OUT OF BEVERLY-- ROUND TRIPS TO EITHER THE DUNKIN DONUTS
IN ROCKPORT-- OR STARBUCKS IN NORTH BEVERLY-- AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY WHEN THE
CONDUCTOR ASKED US FOR A TICKET-- I BLANKLEY LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID" THESE ARE
SERVICE DOGS IN TRAINING"
HE ASSUMED - AND MAYBE IT IS TRUE-- WE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY-- SO WE HAVE
KEPT THAT THOUGHT GOING.
WORKS WELL
ACTUALLY WE START THEIR TRAIN TRAINING BY BEING IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE
TRAIN GOES THRU-- THEN ON TH E PLATFORM.. THEN ON THE TRAIN.
ONCE ON THE TRAIN - NO PROBLEM
***************
A HEADS UP-- GETTING UP THOSE STEPS ONTO TH E TRAIN IS NO PROBLEM-- GETTING
OFF IS ANOTHER.. BECAUSE THOSE STEPS ARE ( ESPECIALLY IN SNOWEY NEW ENGLAND )
THE SEE THRU KIND AND THEY DON'T WANT TO STEP ON THEM - THEY DO LEARN-- OR FIND
TH E WHEELCHARI ON/OFF.-- BUT SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF STUCK... GOT TO COVER THE
VISUAL WITH A QUICK NESWPAPER, TOWEL, JACKET- WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE...
SEE THRU STEPS IN GENERAL IS ANOTHER THING WE TRY AND PRACTICE--
NOW THERE IS SOMETHING FOR THE CAMERA PEOPLE TO BUY FOR US
WE HAVE NEEDED IT FOR A LONG TIME-- BECAUSE THE ONLY SEE THRU I KNEW OF FOR
PRACTICE WAS THE AGWAY STORE-- AND THYE FEMOVED THEM.. WHOA..... THIS WOULD BE A
HANDY TRAINIG TOOL TO HAVE...-- THOSE ROLLING PORTABLE METAL STAIRS YOU SEE IN
HOME DEPOT ETC..
I KNOW ULINE.COM HAS THEM H-3013--
THEY ARE ABOUT $500 SO MAYBE SOME OF THESE CAMERA PEOPLE CAN GET GETHER AND GET
ONE FOR US.
THAT CONCEPT IS HARD TO REPALCE-- AND ALOT OF FIRE ESCAPES ARE MAD OF THAT
SEE THRU METAL.
ASIDE FROM THAT CONCEPT-- IT WOULD BE A GREAT TOOL FOR "TAKE MY WORD FOR
IT" TRAINING - A BIT OF TRAINING IN WHICH BAILEY EXCELLS.-- WHICH IS HOW I GOT
HER IN THE TREE FOR TH E CALENDAR SHOT..-- AND MORE DIFFICULT-- THE SHOPPING
CART AT HOME DEPOT - I GOT HER IN THE SHOPPING CARO OFF ONT OF THOSE ROLLING
PLATFORMS THAT ULINE HAS.. THAT WOULD HAVE ALOT OF USES AROUND HERE. -- WITH A
BIT OF POLYMAX TO FILL IN PLACES SO THEIR LEGS DON'T GO THRU ( WE HAVE LEFT OVER
POLYMAX)
ALL THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN GLANCING AT THE STUFFED OLIVE.-- NOT SHOWING ANY
DISCOMFORT-- IF SHE GOES MUCH FURTHER IT COULD BE WALTER'S THE DAD...-- I CANT
RETYPE ALL THAT STORY-- BASICALLY SHE REJECTED BUMPY AFTER THE FIRST TIE-- AND 5
DAYS LATER ALLOWED WALTER TO DEPOSIT SOME SPERM..
EITHER FATHER WOULD BE FINE- WE MIGHT GET MORE COLOR WITH WALTER-- HE'S
NICE DOG TOO.
TODAY SCHEDULE?
INFLUENCED BY OLIVE'S ACTIVITY-- OR LACK THEREOF...
WE ARE HERE... FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT COME ROUND YESTERDAY BECAUES OF TE
SNOW... WE ARE STILL HERE
AND TOMORROW IS THE 19TH OF THE MONTH-- THAT DAY TO CELEBRATE ALL THE
BIRTHDAYS - ANIVERSARIES HALOWEEN AND , GROUND HOG CELEBRATIONS- -- GET THEM ALL
OUT OF THE WAY ON ONE DAY.
