OH GROAN...
IT IS A RELIEF FOR ME TO REALIZE THERE ARE CAMERA PEOPLE WATCHING THE PUPS
ALL THE TIME.. IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN SEVERAL GET CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND IT IS HOURS BEFOR I CAN LOOK IT OVER AND
RESPOND.
THIS MORNING I HAD 4 EMAILS FROM CAMERA PEOPLE WHO WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PUPS.
REST ASSURED-- I WATCH THESE PUPS AND THIER RESPONSES PRETTY CLOSELY- THE
WAY THEY REACT AROUND SOMEONE WILL TELL ME MORE THAN AN EMAIL COULD.
****************
THE MOST OFTEN COMMENT IS KICKING-- I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE KICK ONE OF
MY PUPS AND IF I DID I AM AFRAID THEY WOULD EASILY HAVE A BLACKENED EYE-EVEN IF
I AM 75
SHOVING PUPS ARPOUND WITH YOUR FOOT WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE BUSY DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE KICKING-- AND THE PUPS ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING THEY WOULD NOT BE
GIVING EACH OTHER.
THESE PUPS ARE NOT FRAGILE FLOWERS THEY BATTER EACH OTHER PRETTY
BADLY.... THE TIPPING POINT THERE IS---- THEY MAY NOT MAKE THE OTHER PUP
SCREAM... IF THEY DO MOM WOULD PIN DOWN THE AGGRESSOR-- SO THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT WE DO. AND IT MUST BE DONE VERY QUICKLY-- SO COULD BE INTERPRETED AS A
VIOLENT REACTION... IT IS NOT-- IT IS CALCULATED AND DUPES WHAT MOM WOULD
DO.
DONE CORRECTLY THE PUP WILL SIT THERE AND THINK "WELL THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT
LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD"
****************
THERE IS A FINE LINE... -
THERE IS ONE COMMENT FROM LAST NIGHT --THAT MAKES ME SIT UP AND TAKE
NOTICE.. USING A HAND TO GRAB A FRONT LEG AND TIP THEM OVER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
BECAUSE OF THE STESS ON THE SHOULDER...
I WATCH PEOPLE AROUND HERE WHEN THEY GO TO PICK UP A PUP --
YOU DO NOT USE THE FRONT LEGS AS HANDLES-- GRAB
THE NECK-- PULL THE TAIL --FINE-- BUT DON'T PICK UP THE FRONT LEGS-- THERE IS
TOOO MUCH LEVERAGE ON THE SHOULDER JOINT... USING YOUR FOOT GENTLY IS MUCH
BETTER.
USING YOUR FOOT WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE BUSY IS MUCH BETTER...IT DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE KICKING THEM--
********************
BUT----I WATCH IT BELIEVE ME-
I LET THE PUPS TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON... I DO NOT SEE ANY THAT ARE AFRAID
OF ANYONE AT ALL.. THEY SWARM PEOPLE
--I WATCH THEIR REACTIONS... THAT TELLS ME MORE THAN PEOPLE
EVER COULD.
NOW DON'T COME BACK WITH "YES BUT ONE IS STILL ON THE BED WHEN THE OTHERS
RUN TO GREET..
OK I WATCH THAT KIND OF THING-- AND SO FAR THE ODD PUP IS SLEEPING THRU TEH
MAYHEM- BUT ONCE AWAKENED IT JOINS THE REST.
SO I WATCH.
AND I THANK THOSE WHO HELP ME WATCH.. I APPRECIATE BEING TOLD
THE FACTS... JUST THE FACTS.
********************
AND I AM NOW TEACHING WHIFFLE TO THE 10----- SO GET READY FOR ME TO SWING
THAT BAT AT THE NEAREST NOISE MAKER TO GET THEIR ATTENTION WHEN THEY GET TOO
ROUGH.
AND ANOTHER BIG LESSON IS BEING TAUGHT THIS WEEK..
IF YOU TOUCH MY FINGERS WITH YOUR TEETH THEN THOSE 2 FINGERS WILL SNAP YOUR
NOSE AND SCARE YOU. YOU MUST SNIFF AND LICK... NO TEETH./
THEY HAVE TO LEARN.

FIRST REPORT FROM ALBERT
Well
Our first day was very exciting and surprising, we had an car accident (nobody
hurt), we found a great walking trail, Casper made his first poopy where he was
suppose too, no pee or poop accidents last night, he didn't sleep with me on the
bed, we went and walked around town and the park, he sleep on the floor, and he
didn't chew up the house even with the combat boot I gave him he seemed to like
his stuffed animal. I am very pleased with him!!! Today we are going to the mall
(because it is raining outside). That is pretty all we have planned, he is
really not use to the vehicle thing...I think he feels out of place. he doesn't
lie down or look out the window just moves back and forth. So I think we might
drive around a little more and see how he acts.
Will keep you updated
Albert
