GET READY... LONG DOG....
DO YOU REMEMBER THE VIDEO THAT WENT ROUND ABOUT THE GUY WHO BLEW HIS CAR
HORN AT THE LITTLE OLD LADY CROSSING THE STREET.... AND SHE BANGED HIS BUMPER
WITH HER PURSE AND MADE HIS AIRBAG BLOW???
THAT IS ABOUT WHERE I AM... DON'T MESS WITH AN OLD LADY---
A CAMERA PERSON CALLED THE IPSWICH CONTROL OFFICER YESTERDAY AND SAID THERE
WAS A MASS LAW THAT DOGS NEEDED LIGHTS OFF 6 HOURS A DAY.-AND I BETTER COMPLY OR
THE APHIDS FROM NORTH CAROLINA WOULD COME SHUT ME DOWN.
I STARTED TO BE UPSET- AND FIGURE A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS 6 HOUR BIT-- AND
THEN I THOUGHT THERE ARE SOOO MANY WONDERFUL CAMERA PEOPLE- MAYBE I COULD RIDE
THIS ONE OUT.
************
BASIC PROBLEM IS THE NEWS PEOPLE ARE SOOOOO READY FOR ANIMNAL ABUSE
STORIES- THAT THEY CAN TWIST ANYTHING INTO A NEGATIVE- AND I GOT ALL WORIED
ABOUT MY HUGE BOTTLE OF OUTDATED TETRACYCLINE.-- SO I WENT AND HID IT.-
THAT IS THE ONLY THING I THINK THEY COULD REALLY GET ME ON... THAT BOTTLE
OF OUTDATED MEDICINE... AND WHEN AN OUTFIT LIKE THAT COMES IN TO INSPECT--
THEY GET INTO EVERYTHING -- JUST LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BLAST THRU TH E
NEWS.
I AM WELL AWARE THAT THERE ARE LAWS ON THE BOODKS THAT ARE ACCIDENTLY
STILL THERE- LIKE GRAZING CATTLE ON BOSTON COMMON...- BUT-- IF THAT 6 HOUR
DARK IS A LAW THEN ALL YOU PEOPLE WHITH DOGS THAT SLEEP IN YOU R BEDROOM ARE
BREAKING THIS LAW IF YOU HAVE A NIGHTLIGHT.
*****************
I HAVE A LONG COLORFUL HISTORY WITHTHE USDA.
AS ANIMAL EPISODES- PROVIDING ANIMALS FOR MOVIES ETC... I HAD TO COMPLY
WITH USDA RULINGS... AND A VERY NICE VETERNARIAN WALTZED ME THRU MY INITIAL
-ALL BE IT --PAINFUL CERTIFICATION- WHICH DEMANDED I REPLACE THE 7' HORSE
FENCE WITH THE 6' KENNEL FENCE WITH THE BAR AT T E TOP...AROUND DEAGLE- MY GREAT
DANE STUD- I SAID NO-- THEY SAID I COULD NOT DO ANOTHER MOVIE JOB TIL I
REPLACED THAT FENCE-- SO I DID.
THAT AFTERNOON DEAGLE GOT HIS FEET HOOKED ON THAT BAR - JUMPED THAT USDA
APPROVED FENCE AND BRED 3 FEMALES-- 63 DAYS LATER I HAD 23 GREAT DANE PUPS--
WHICH WAS ALMOST THE START OF SERVICE DOG PROJECT- I HAD TTOO MANY
DANES...
BUT ANYWAY....
I DID FINE - CERTIFIED FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL ONE DAY A YOUNG WOMAN- WITH
CLIPBOARD IN HAND CAME AND TOLD ME SHE WAS AN ANIMAL INSPECTOR FOR THE USDA AND
SHE HAD THE RIGHT TO INSPECT--- I ASSUMED THE ANIMALS-- AS HER TITLE
INDICATED-
AFTER 2 HOURS OF FLIPPING THRU PAPERWORKIN MY OFFICE..., SHE HAD NOT EVEN
LOOKED AT ANY ANIMALS, SHE DEMANDED I NUMBER ALL THE DOGS AND HANG METAL TAGS
AROUND THIER NECKS- AND NUMBERS ON THEIR KENNELS- I SAID THEY HAD NAMES AND
DID NOT NEED NUMBERS.
SHE DEMANDED METAL TAGS WITH NUMBERS - OR SHE WOULD SHUT ME DOWN.. -
SO I SAID " $%^&*() YOU- I QUIT- NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY"/.
I WAS READY TO QUIT ANYWAY.
HAVING EXPERIENCED HER--I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE COMPLICATIONS OF THE
OUTDATED BOTTLE OF TETRACYCLINE-- IF THESE OFFICIALS EVER FOUND THAT THEY COULD
SHUT US DOWN WITH THE NEWS" A HORRIBLE KENNEL IN IPSWICH WAS CLOSED DOWN FOR
DRUGGING DOGS WITH OUTDATED DRUGS."
AND I WOULD BE HELPLESS TO FIGHT THAT NEWS-
********************
THERE ARE ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE HEADED BY KNOWLEDGABLE
ANIMAL PEOPLE-- THE ONES WHO ORGANIZED THE AIRLINES FOR EXAMPLE-- DID A
WONDERFUL JOB ABOUT SHIPPING ANIMALS..--
HOWEVER...
. THE CAUSE IS SUCH A GOOD ONE-- YOU REALLY SHOULD TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO
INVESTIGATE EXACTLY WHAT % OF THEIR FUNDS GOES TO THE CAUSE..
I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN SO MANY TIMES WITH ANIMAL RESCUE OUTFITS-- THEY
COLLECT MONEY- BUT DON'T GET ROUND TO USING THAT MONEY TO HELP ANIMALS.... A
SPECIFIC CASE-- WHEN ALL THOSE 30 HOMES BLEW UP IN DANVERS ALL THOSE HOUSE
PETS WERE WANDERING AROUND LOST-- AND I COULD NOT CONVINCE ONE OF THE WELL
FUNDED ANIMAL RESCUE OUTFITS TO ACTUALLY GET A BUNCH OF CRATES AND GET OVER
THERE AN RESCUE THOSE ANIMALS..
SOME OUTFITS COLLECTING MONEY FOR VETERANS ARE. NOT MUCH DIFFERENT... WHEN
THEY CALL ME FOR DONATIONS - I ALWAYS ASK HOW DO I GET MONEY TO ACTUALLY HELP
THE VETERANS -- AND NO ONE YET HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME..
***************
GOOD CAUSES-SOMEONE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE,
**********************
WHERE IT RESTS IS I TOLD THE IPSWICH INSPECTOR I WAS NOT LETTING A BUNCH
OF STRANGERS HERE TO INSPECT UNLESS HE WAS HERE WITH THEM--
AFTER ALL---- I ONLY HID THE TETRACYCLINE- - I HID IT IN THE OVERFLOW
ROOM BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHNG IN THERE ANYWAY.
