THE CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE ACCEPTED THE WHIFFLE BAT-- AND I FORGOT THE BIT OF
REASONING WHICH MAKES IT NECESSARY
ALLIES ARE PEOPLE WITH COMMON ENEMIES. SAME WITH
DOGS WH O ARE ABOUT TO START AN UGLY ARGUEMENT--
PICK UP THAT BAT AND THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS..
WITH 45 GREAT DANES AND OFTEN MANY LOOSE AT ONCE-- WE COULD HAVE THE WORLDS
BIGGEST DOG FIGHT... THAT BAT HAS DONE WONDERS EVEN THO I HAVE NEVER HIT THEM
WITH IT.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I GET SOMEONE TELLING ME IT IS A NEGATIVE THING AND I
SHOULD USE ONLY POSITIVE--
YOU ARE WELCOME ANYTIME TO STAND IN TH EMIDDLE OF THIS BUNCH AND
SAY PLEASE...
PERSONALLY I FIND THAT DOES NOT WORK...
WELL--- I REMEMBER-- THE OLD-- NOT CURRENT--IPSWICH DOG OFFICER CAME FOR A
VISIT ONCE-- AND HAD A COUPLE BARKING DOGS IN HIS TRUCK-- WHICH GOT MINE
GOING-
BEFORE I HAD A BAT-- MY 7 DANES GOT IN A N AWFUL FIGHT-- YOU SHOULD NEVER
GET INVOLVED IN A FIGHT LIKE THAT--BUT I DID AND BROKE IT UP ---DOWN TO THE
LAST TWO STILL LATCHED ONTO EACH OTHER. WITH A BIG STICK I MANAGED TO KEEP TH E
OTHER 5 FROM GOING BACK IN TIL THE TWO FINALLY LET GO.
THEN I SAW THAT TH E DOG OFFICER HAD GOT BACK IN HIS TRUCK...HE SAID HE HAD
NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT
AFTER THAT HE SENT ALL MY NOTICES THRU THE MAIL...
..THAT IS HOW I ESTABLISHED MYSELF AS A PRO.
THAT WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER..
NOW I CARRY A BAT.
THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR AGE....
********************
THESE 3 PUPS OF NOEL AND BENTLEY'S ARE SPECTACCULAR PUPS.. ( MY
PREDICTION) LETS SEE IF IT HOLDS) SQUARE CHUNKS THEY ARE --- SO FAR--- VERY
SENSABLE.
THERE WILL BE NO SPAYING OF NOEL !!! EVEN IF SHE IS BORED WITH
MOTHERHOOD...
I THINK HALF HER PROBLEM IS SHE DOES NOT APPROVE OF 'OLIVE'S BEHAVIOR IN
THE NEXT ROOM.
(SEE ABOVE REFERENCE TO A BAT)
*******************
MARIA AND I NOW MATCH-- AT LEAST IN THE EYEBROW DEPARTMENT.. MOXIE GREETED
HER ONE NIGHT BY TEARING HER EYELID WITH A FRONT PAW.-- MANY STITCHES AND A
BLACK EYE ETC LATER IT IS NEARLY CURED..
I JUST HAD A NASTY LUMP REMOVED FROM MY EYEBROW EXACTLY SAME SPOT--- AND
SURE ENOUGH-- THE EYE IS BLACKENING TODAY.
.
SO DON'T ASK WHO HIT ME--- ACTUALLY I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN AMUSING
APPROACH TO A BLACK EYE'D WOMAN..
*********************
WE-- MEGAN AND I -- ARE NOW--- TRYING TO GET A GROUP OF DOGS TO THE
FRAIRGROUNDS FOR A MORNING ROMP EVERY DAY BEFIRE 9 AM... - I USED TO DO THIS
DAILY- IT IS A GOOD EXERCISE... LOTSA COOKIES AND LOOSE DOGS.
CALLING THEM BY NAME FOR RESPONSE AND COOKIES...
IT IS A DISASTER TO BEGIN WITH -- BUT IT DOES GET BETTER.
THEY HAVE TO LEARN
MEGAN TAKES PICTURESA AND PUTS THEM SOMEWHERE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE
THEM
I WILL GOPRO THEM AND THEN SIT AROUND AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO...
************************
SO THAT IS TODAY'S PLAN DOWN THE DRIVE 8:30 AND BACK BY 9
WE WILL SEE IF THAT WORKS.
A CAMERA PERSON FROM NEW YORK IS COMING FOR A QUICK VISIT.. -- SHE DID NOT
REALIZE IT IS AT LEAST A 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MANHATTAN- BUT SHE SAID SHE WOULD BE
HERE ABOUT NOON--
WE SHOULD BE HERE...
