GREAT NEWS-- THE FINAL PAPERS HAVE COME FROM THE ANNENBERG FOUNDATION--
WHICH I WILLSIGN AND FEDEX BACK ON MONDAY
LET ME DEFINE EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS...
THEY HAVE GIVEN US THIS MONEY TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF TRAINED DOGS WITH PREFERENCE GIVEN TO VETERANS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
LET ME REPEAT..."TO INCREASE THE NUMBER...." TO MAKE THAT WORK... THAT
MEANS WE AS AS GROUP WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ABOUT THE SAME BUNCH WE
ALREADY HAVE...
SO IT IS NOT AN INVITATION TO LET UP ON THE CHICKEN SH#T BOARD.. AND
OTHER DONATIONS.... WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THAT AND THAT DEPENDENCY WILL NOT
CHANGE.
. IT BOILS DOWN TO MORE PUPPIES AND MORE HELP.
I BET YOU ARE ALL HEARTBROKEN AT HAVING TO HAVE A MORE CONSISTENT SUPPLY
OF PUPPIES.... BENTLEY AND WALTER WIIL BE THRILLED..
IN PREP FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THAT GRANT WE HAVE STARTED INCREASING OUR
HELP/
THE ROSTER???
MEGAN HAS HER HANDS FULL AS TRAINER...-(- AND SO SHOULD SHE)...
WE HAVE ADDED SOME KENNEL MANAGEMENT IN TRACY AND PAULA- HOPEFULLY
COLLEEN 1 WILL GIVE US ALL THE TIME SHE CAN -- WE HOPE JESS WILL NOT BE TUGGING
BOATS- AND HAVE TIME FOR NEARLY A FULL TIME PUPPY PATTER,
THERESA HAS HER HANDS FULL MANAGING MOSTLY APPLICANTS AND THE CALENDAR
TYPE STUFF.
AND MARIA WILL FLOAT BETWEEN KENNEL,TRAINING ,PAPERWORK AND FILM
PRODUCTION.
*************
SO WE ARE SET TO HAVE MORE PUPPIES--
WOOOWOOOWOOOOWO
LAST YEAR WE DONATED 13--SO THAT MAKES OUR GOAL ABOUT 24 PER YEAR...--2
PER MONTH...
THE PLAN ---CURENTLY.--- CAN CHANGE.....
... PANDORA OLIVER DUSTON HARRY WITH PATRICK AND HIS PINK WATER
BUCKET BECOMEING A THERAPY DOG WITH SOME VOLUNTEERS..
THEN NEXT-- LOLA EBONY MIA ROXANNE WILLOW WITH PERRY HELD OUT WITH
QUESTIONS ON LOLA'S POSSIBLE GENETIC HAIR COLOR (SEE BLUE DOBERMAN GENE)
THEN THE 7 CHUPPIES WITH OSCAR NOT NEUTERED AND KEPT WORKING
THERAPY
AND 7 MUPPIES WITH PETER KEPT ENTIRE ( NOT NEUTERED)
3 NUPPIES -MARIAH AS BREED/THERAPY PAIRED WITH OSCAR. THEN THE 2
M'S BOTH "FACILITY DOGS" -- WORKING LOCALLY AS COMPANION PTSD WITH MURPHY
NOT NEUTERED... AT LEAST YET
AND 8 OF THE PIMENTOS THE 2 HARLS WOULD BE GOOD FACILITY DOGS IF
THEIR PERSONALITIES DEVELOPE AS PLANNED.
4+5+7+7+2+8= 33
THAT IS IF YOU COULNT THE YEAR STARTING APRIL 1ST-- OTHERWISE THE COUNT
IS MORE LIKE 16 FOR THE REST OF 2013 AND 17 POSSIBLES SO FAR FOR 2014( NOT
ENOUGH)
THAT MAKES FOR A WILD BIG PUPPY SUMMER AND MORE BABIES BEFORE FALL?
NOW THE PROBLEM IS WHEN DO THEY COME IN HEAT? -- USUALLY EVERY 6
MONTHS???
OUR POSSIBLE 4 GIRLS ARE MERLOW ( LYN HAS HER) SCARLOT( BETSY
HAS HER) AND OPAL ( I HAVE HER) CHAOS ( YEAR OR TWO OFF DEPENDING)-- OLIVE
GETTING SPAYED.
AND THE 3 BOYS ---BENTLEY (ME) WALTER ( MEGAN) AND YELLOW (DENISE
IN IPSWICH) WITH PETER AND OSCAR BOTH TOO YOUNG--- IN BOXFORD
SO AS RANDOM AS IT SOUNDS IT WORKS OUT...
THAT IS WHAT IT IS TODAY... COULD CHANGE ANY TIME.
*******************
NOW ALONG THOSE LINES......SEVERAL CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY WANT TO SEE
MORE TRAINING-- AND THAT IS IN TH ECARDS-- LITERALLY THOSE MEMORY CARDS-- I AM
STRUGGLING TO MASTER BOTH CAMERAS-- THE BLACK CANNON OF EXPLORE AND THE GO PRO
ONE OF THE CAMERA PEOPLE GAVE ME.
MARIA'S HUSBAND BOB PUT TOGETHER THT SUNSHINE VIDEO WHICH IS AROUND
SOMEWHERE- PEOPLE LOVED IT.
MY GOAL IS TO DO ONE OF THOSE A WEEK SO THAT EXPLORE CAN HAVE THEM AS A
;LIBRARY FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH INSTEAD OF THE BLANK - OFF HOUR SCREEN OF PUPPY
HILL.
THAT IS THE GOAL.
SO I AM BACK TO THE BLACK CAMERA HAS 14 HOLES OR BUTTONS AND A BOOK /2 INCH
THICK.
THE GO PRO HAS 2 BUTTONS AND A 4X4 1/8" THICK LITTLE FOLDED PAGE
THING
THESE ARE 2 ENDS OF THE BELL SHAPED CURVE.
THE BLACK CAMERA IS SIMPLER WITH IT'S ONE BUTTON DOES ONE FUNCTION
WHILE WITHTHE GOPRO IT IS DIFFERENT SEQUENCES OF THE 2 BUTTONS TO DO ABOUT
THE SAME THING.
NEITHER OF WHICH IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
IT TOOK ME A WHOLE DAY TO FIGURE OUT THE BLACK CAMERA WITH IT'S INTERNAL
MEMORY AND 2 HOLES FOR MEMORY CARDS, ONLY RECORDS ON SLOT "B" CARD
SLOT "A" IS TO COPY FILMS FROM A TO B AND FROM IF YOU TELL THE CAMERA TO
COPY FROM INTERNAL TO A.... YOU GET A BLANK A--- I SENT THAT TO BOB ALREADY.
EMPTY...
THIS IS THE CRITICAL BIT OF LEARNING FOR THE DAY.
WE HAVE 2 ANNOUNCEMENT S
OMAHA STEAKS WILL SEND A PACKAGE ?TODAY AND IF SO CAMERA MARK WILL GRILL
TOMORROW...
SOMEONE---JACKIE---IS ARIVING FROM MID AMERICA (?CHICAGO AREA) SHE IS
COMING TO GET POSSIBLE IDEAS- FOR A WEEK OR SO.
AND THAT BIG COIN JUG I WAS ABOUT TO EMPTY TO MAKE THE PAYROLL CAN REMAIN A
COIN JUG- THANKS TO EXPLORE
BUT DON'T ANYONE LET UP-- WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS--- THE WOODS JUST GOT
DEEPER.
