great excitement-
i finally located my 3rd set of long underwear- it was filed with the
turtlenecks.. you needed to know that?
well, the problem was making too quick a judgement.. things are not always
as they appear--- and in this case that thing hanging down off the shelf was not
a sleeve, but a leg- i finally-- having exhausted all other possibilities---
resorted to look.-
an obvious fault in my investagatory process.
*************
the school in no hampton-- what delightful bunch of kids- we ( ann
jackie,murphy,bentley bailey and i) were there at 1:30-and talked and answered
questions til 2:45.. i did not catch who the kid was that was managing
us-- but i noticed-- such poise and careful
efficiency i have not seen in a 13 year old ..we apparently were part of some
project she was writing up-- like service dogs in general- she totally lacked
"fluster" even when the elevator malfunctioned she was cool. i was
impressed.
i was also impresed with murphy-- it was his second time on a leash and he
was nonplussed. very pleased with himself he walked thru a big crowd and allowed
them to worship him.
bentley and bailey were- of course perfect too

progress in the veteran department
becky and beth are fitting together very well and by doing so are offering
help to another vet with- what i hate to admit - are the usual collection of
post war problems.
then steve and charlie have reached out to another guy out their way and
are going to try and get him down here. there is one more "out there" in
western mass i am trying to attach to steve and charlie.
------
and ann says she has the wrtiteups of several of them for possibley
submitting to the tower of hope
----------
so that concept is moving along---- we are developing a veterans
contingent.

and it is raining- doesn't sound like any notable happening.. except when
you have a bunch of great danes, it seems they stick their heads out, see the
rain , and figure " there is plenty of fluid out there already so i will put my
fluid here in my kennel."
some of it is our falut for not having better little tunnels- they are
is\n a sorry state of disreapir.. the rain comes off the roof and if they don't
have some protection over their heads.. they just don't go out.
i could not figure out why the 3rd kennel in the laundry was always flooded
after it rained.. ihow can i have a roof leak with a second floor of\verhead
??---and is it really yellow -- or clear?? was there a strainge wind current
that blew the rain back in the doggie door??..
exhausting all other possibilities i found that the little tunnel which
was supposed to be deflecting the rain off th eroof-- was faulty- therefore
hitting the dog in the head when the attempted to go outside... so they just
didn't.
same problem as the underwear-- my faulty investagatory process..
