couple things to dispense with quickly
somebody wants an accounting-- and so you should--it is a lot of money
you are giving sdp- and somebody asked exactly what the heat and food
costs
i will do that next - from the top down, sdp up to now has cost me-
personally about $40,000 per year to ESTABLISH WHAT WE NOW HAVE .. with
that chicken boardI PERSONALLY Am spending less and i hope i can use some of my
money to do some fun things... like buy a new tipi cover.
the grant from explore of $150,000 sounds beautiful-- and it certainly
is-- but that will cover the $2800 per week payroll.. the official numbers are
posted on our yearly irs 990 form --for the public to view-- wherever that
is.
NEXT- PROBLEM--- AND THIS IS A BIG ONE.
WE HAD A LOVELY SUNDAY STEW- WITH LOTS OF NEWCOMMERS AND CAMERA PEOPLE--
PEOPLE BROUGHT FOOD-- WE MET SOME APPLICANTS AND EVERYTHING WAS GOING SMOOTHLY
UNTIL....
MEGAN CALLED AND SAID - SHE NEEDED HELP WITH ALPHY-
NOW THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THIS--- IS THAT I CAN NOT USE THE PROPER
TERMONOLOGY BECAUS OF SPAM FILTERS
SUFICE TO SAY---- THAT COMMERCIAL WHICH SAYS"
" IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM FOR 4 HOURS SEEK MEDICAL
HELP..."
AND ALPHY... A YOUNG -YET UN NEUTERED- MALE CERTAINLY HAD A PROBLEM-- HE
COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL THAT WAS STUCK UNDER HIS REAR END.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE GOOD LORD HAD IN MIND WHEN SHE DESIGNED THE
REPRODUCTION OF CANINES-- TO PUT IT MILDLY- THE EXTRA ANATOMY IS MOST
PEQUILIAR...
AND IN ALPHY'S CASE IT HAD MALFUNCTIONED BADLY AND WAS STUCK HANGING.
WE HAD SOME VERY INVENTIVE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ALREADY ON THE JOB... GWEN,
MARIA, AND MEGAN HAD BEEN ON THE PROJECT FOT OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO STUFF IT
ALL BACK IN.
MEGAN HAD CALLED ONE OF THE VETS FROM GEORGES.. WHO WAS NOT ON CALL BUT SHE
HAD HIS NUMBER-- HE MADE SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS THAT HAD NOT WORKED- SO WHEN I
CAME ON THE SCEENE ALPHY WAS VERY UNHAPPY AND LYING ON THE SOFA IN THE TV ROOM.
AMID A COLLECTION OF DUNKIN DONUTS SUGAR PACKETS. . APPARENTLY THAT IS A CURE I
HAVE NEVER HEARD OF-
IT HAD MADE THE SOFA AND 4 PEOPLE A VERY STICKY MESS AND ALPHY WAS STILL
THE PROVERBIAL "MARSHMELLOW THRU A KEYHOLE" PROBLEM
I GOT GEORGE ON HIS CELL- HE ALSO SUGGESTED SUGAR...TRANQUILIZER WHICH WE
HAD LEFT OVER FROM THE NOSEBLEED PROBLEM-.. AND SAID IF THAT DIDN'T WORK - IT
WAS OFF TO THE EMERGENCY VET IN ANDOVER...
BULGER ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN ANDOVER -- IS A VERY NICE EFFICIENT VET HOSP
OPEN 24/7 - AND YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD WHEN YOU GO IN THE DOOR.
GWEN ( BLUE GWEN) AND MEGAN HAULED HIM OFF TO BULGER WHERE THEY PUT
$2500 ON THE SDP CREDIT CARD-- AND ALPHY'S PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED 3 HOURS
LATER WITH BEING ANESTHESIA HE RELAXED ENOUGH-- AND THEY PUT IN ONE STITCH SO
IT WOULDN'T COME OUT AGAIN... APPARENTLY... HOPEFULLY
GWEN AND MEGAN REALLY HAD AN EDUCATION SITTING THERE . THEY NOW REALLY
APPRECIATE THE CARE AND COMFORT WE GET AT GEORGE'S DANVERS ANIMAL
HOSPITAL--
I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SMALL CHILDREN FEEL THEY
CAN NOT AFFORD TOI HAVE A DOG BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SAVE FOR COLLEGE EXPENSES
.
$2500 TO A PERSON MAKING $15/ HOUR IS AN ENTIRE 40 HOURS WORK A FULL
MONTH.-
THAT IS THE PART THAT REALLY BOTHERS ME--
AND WHY I SUGGEST ANYONE GETTING ONE OF OUR DOGS HAS A BANK ACCOUNT OF
SEVERAL THOUSAND $$ JUST IN CASE
IT IS AWFUL--
BUT I HAVE TO SEE GEORGE'S SIDE- HE HAS TO RUN A BUSINESS WITH INCREDIBLE
EXPENSES..
MONDAY MORNING-- ALPHY IS SMILING--
BENTLEY IS SMILING ( HIS EQUIPMENT IS FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY 17 MINUTE
TIE WITH MERLOW )
AND ON WE GO..
I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE...
