April 3, 2013


I SHOULD WRITE THE DAILY DOGGIE BEFORE I ANSWER ALL THE EMAILS ETC...  IT WOULD BE  BEFORE MY HEAD IS CLOGGED WITH  OTHER PEOPLE'S IDEAS.... OR OVERNIGHT PEOPLE GO AND  I AM ALONE WITH THE HERD...
 
  I NEED A TOILET PLUNGER ON A  6' POLE  TO BREAK UP ARGUEMENTS..
 
BEFORE I DID TODAYS EMAILS,.... MY CONCERN WAS AN OVERNIGHT PROGRAM WHICH QUESTIONED THE VALUE OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION.
 
DARN GOOD QUESTION..
 
I FORGET WHY I ONCE SAID I WAS A COLLEGE GRADUATE  AND WHOEVER I WAS TALKING TO SAID  "YOU HIDE IT WELL"   -
 
I HAVE SAID OTHER THINGS ABOUT COLLEGE--
 LIKE ---- THE ONLY THING I LEARNED WAS .. WHAT THE WORD DEADLINE MEANT.
 
THAT IS A VALUABLE THING... THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE-- I SWEAR I HAVE HEARD THEM SAY "I WAS ONLY 3 MINUTES LATE"    BUT FOR AN AIRPLANE????  THERE IS A DEADLINE WHICH IS WELL NAMED.
 
THERE IS AN INSTANT WHEN THE RULES CHANGE-- AND THAT IS CERTAINLY WHEN TH E DOORS CLOSE  AT THE GATE-- OR THE INSTANT WHEN THE FUNNY LITTLE MOLE ON YOUR  LEG  SENDS A CELL OFF HUNTING FOR LYMPH NODES.
 
THE DISCUSSION GROUP ON TV WAS HUNG UP ON WHAT COURSES  YOU TOOK AND ACTUALLY USED IN  WORK.   -- THE LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE SUFFERED A BLOW... AS IT SHOULD.
 
THAT BA IS JUST 4 MORE YEARS TO GROW UP  AND IN THE CASE OF MANY OF MY FELLOW COLLEGE GRADUATES  "SOBER UP" MIGHT BE MORE THE CASE.. 
 IF AT COLLEGE YOU DON'T LEARN THAT THE FIRST THING YOU CAN BE ON A JOB IS  ON  TIME, YOU ARE IN FOR TROUBLE IN THE WORKING  WORLD.
 
TODAY IT SEEMS AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY TO PAY FOR LEARNING A FEW BASIC LIFE RULES--
 
2 YEARS OF LATIN TAUGHT ME  TO ENDURE THE IMPOSSIBLE
AND AFTER 4 YEARS OF SPANISH... HERE IS MY TOTAL SPANISH KNOWLEDGE-- A JOKE THAT  I HAVE TOLD MANY TIMES,,
 
A  SPANISH SPEAKING GUY GOES IN TO A STORE AND TRYS TO DESCRIBE TO THE ENGLISH SPEAKING CLERK THAT HE WANTS TO BUY SOME SOX-   WHEN THE CLERK FINALLY  PUTS SOME SOX ONTHE COUNTER HE SAYS  "ESSO SI QUE  ES"   AND THE CLERK SAYS "WHY DID NT YOU TELL ME YOU COULD SPELL IT?"
 
4 YEARS OF SPANISH-- THAT IS IT..
 
I HAVE TO ADMIT MY 1 YEAR AT THE UNIV OF EDINBURGH WAS FAR MORE OF AN EDUCATON  THAT THE OTHER 3 YEARS AT COLBY.
****
BUT THIS  TIME/DEADLINE DOES HAVE TO DO WITH  THE SDP OPERATION-  SINCE EXPLORE BECQME INVOLVED... WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL REQUESTS- THAT WE SHOULD FULFILL-- THERE IS NO REASON NOT  TO  GET ORAGNIZED AND DO THAT... ONE BEING   THE FEEDING OF THE HILL PUPS AT 4:30. WE DO PRETTY WELL AT  THAT-- BUT WE SHOULD GET THE MORNING DOWN TO A DEFINITE TIME SO THE CAMERA PEOPLE CAN DEAL-- AND THEREFOR PRESENT A BETTER  PRODUCT.. THAT PRODUCT BEING  SDP.
 
I HAVE SAID I WILL TRY AND DO THE SPOON FEEDING LUNCH HERE IN AT THE HOUSE AT A MORE SPECIFIC TIME--  SHOOT FOR 1:00
 
AND A VIDEO A WEEK-- AT THIS POINT IS IMPOSSIBLE--  BUT THE PUSH IS ON...
 
I AM ORGANIZED WITH MEMORY CARDS TO GET PIECES ON FILE--  NOW I NEED A FEW OF THOSE TICTAC MEMORY STICKS TO TRANSPORT BACK AND FORTH  FOR  MARIA AND HER HUSBAND TO DIDDLE WITH.
 
 PROGRESS IS BEING MADE.
 
NOW ABOUT MIA'S TAIL
SHE HAD A BLOODY PRODUCING HAPPY TAIL  FLINGING BLOOD ALL OVER HER KENNEL, HER SELF, AND HER CARETAKER (MEGAN)  SO IT HAD TO GO-- I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT GEORGE BE THE ONE TO DO THE SURGERY- AS HE HAS A WAY WITH TAILS... SO TO SPEAK...  AND HE DID A NICE JOB---
 
HE HAD A VET STUDENT THERE- GEORGE  ASKED HIM TO GET A SAMPLE OUT OF A STRANGE FRECKLE ON DUSTIN  WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE STANDING AROUND WITH JESS. 
 
 AS DUSTIN FUSSED A BIT-- SOMEONE SAID  "IT IS ONLY A LITTLE NEEDLE"  AND I HELD MY TONGUE WITH DIFFICULTY AND DID NOT USE TOM'S FAVORITE ONE LINER    "IT'S ONLY A LITTLE PRICK"
 
MIA CAME OUT OF ANESTHESIA SLOWLY-- AND  SHE WAS NOT EVEN CLOSET TO SANE TIL AFTER MIDNIGHT.. EARLENE AND BLUE GWEN NURSED HER THRU - AND SHE IS NEARLY  OK NOW,,,
 
SHE HAD DEFINITE HANG UPS
WALKING TOWARD HER WHEN SHE IS CONFUSED IS BAD-- AND SHE REALLY DOES NOT LIKE ROPES UNLESS YOU HOLD A COOKIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING--
 
SHE AND THE 13 PUPS ARE NOW LOOSE AROUND-- AND SHE CAN NOT SEEM TO CHASE THEM OFF A PLACE TO LIE DOWN..
 
 THAT MURPHY IS  TOUGH  AND THERE IS A BATTLE FOR TOYS BETWEEN MIA AN D  MURPH  SHE IS PILING THEM UP INT EH KITCHEN.
 
SO I HAVE TO GO HELP BEFORE SHE FALLS OVER IN EXHAUSTION.
 
I HAVE EQUIPMENT STUFF TO DEAL WITH  TODAY... THE DRYER... A BLOWER-- AND SOME ONE HAS OFFERED US A VERY REASONABLE HOT PRESSURE Washer--  i had one once--- IT WAS LOVELY.
