A HEADLINE JUST FLASHED BY AS I SIGNED ON ABOUT A 105 YER OLD WOMAN WHO
CREDITED HER AGE TO A CERTAIN BRAND OF FOOD- SO THE COMPANY JUST GAVE HER A
"LIFETIME SUPPLY"
HOW MAGNANIMOUS
******************
I THINK MANY OF THESE DOGS ARE ON THE MEND--- I HAVE NOT SEEN BAXTER YET
TODAY-- HE LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT BUT IS EATING NOW-- AT LEAST AS OF YESTERDAY -
AND COLLEEN MAY TAKE HIM TOMORROW-- SO HE WILL GET SPECIAL SERVICE...
MIND YOU THEY ARE ACTING BETTER -- BUT STILL HAVE MANY OIF THE SYMPTOMS
THE PIMS ARE STILL THROWING UP--- BUT THE ONES IN THE HOUSE MAY BE PAST
THAT.
BRING ON THE BOILED RICE AND PEPCID AC...
****
I DID NOT GET ANY RESULTS FROM THE EXTENSIVE STOOL REPORT YET.. ?GEORGE??. IT MIGHT TAKE A FEW
DAYS...
***
A CAMERA PERSON WAS TO ARRIVE LAST
NIGHT SOMETIME BETWEEN 12 AND 4 AM-- HER FLIGHT WAS
DELAYED... SHE SAID SHE KNEW THE LAYOUT OF THE PROPERTY SO I TOLD HER ABOUT THE
ELECTRIC GATE - AND HOPE SHE LANDED CORRECTLY AND NOT IN THE NEIGHBORS WOOD
SHED.
***
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE CAMERA PEOPLE- THEY ARE VERY SELF
SUFFICIENT.
*******
NOW AS FOR " THE DOGGIE BAG".. THE "STORE "
OFF OUR WEB...
JULIET GOT ALL THE COSTCO DETAILS STRAIGHT WITH A GREAT DEAL
OF EFFORT- WE HAVE ORDERED A FEW SAMPLE " FAMILY TREES"
IT IS TRUELY A THING OF BEAUTY- AND EXTREMELY
ACCURATE.
****
AXEL ( VET) HAS BEEN DRAFTED TO MANAGE THE STORE AND MAILING
ETC..- WE ARE WORKING ON PRICES AND COST OF MAILING ETC-
WE NEED A GOAL.. LETS SAY BEFORE JUNE 1ST WE SHOULD HAVE ALL
THE STUFF LISTED AND IT WILL BE ONLY THE MORE UNUSUAL THINGS FOR SALE... PUPPY
BREATH--, MONKEY FISTS,-- POSTERS OF THIS " SDP FAMILY TREE"-- PUZZLES...
.... NOT COFFEE MUGS AND TEE SHIRTS.
********************
MAJOR PROJECT- I CAN HOPEFULL ATTACK THIS
WEEKEND...
I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THE LOOKS OF THE BOTTOM OF PUPPY HILL.
IT IS A TIRED LOOKING SAND PIT.
I AM WONDERING ... IF I SPREAD TOPSOIL-- AKA 3 YEAR OLD HORSE
MANURE--- THEN SEED AND COVER IT WITH A GOOD LAYER OF STRAW- RIGHT AFTER
THE ONCOMING RAIN---- WOULD THAT GET THE GRASS STARTED BEFORE THE PUPS FLATTENED
IT?
THE FLAT FIELD IS READY TO BE SEEDED- I AM ASSUMING IT IS A
BIG ENOUGH AREA THAT THEY WON'T GET TO DIGGING THE SEEDED SPOTS...
***
AND THEN IT BRINGS ON THE WIERD IDEAS.. THE CHICKENS ARE
FREE ROAMING BUT EVEN THAT BIG YARD IS NOW DEVOID OF GREEN- THEY ATE
EVERYTHING...
I HAVE SEEN-- IN FANCY CHICKEN HOUSES A FRAME OF 2 X 4'S WITH
A SCREEN OF HARDWARE CLOTH 1/2 X 1/2 WIRE AND GRASS SEEDED UNDER IT SO THEY
CAN ONLY EAT THE GRASS WITHOUT DIGGING UP THE ROOTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THAT
*****
AND THEN THE IGLOOS HAVE BOTH DIED- IT WAS KIND OF FUN TO
HAVE THOSE SEMI SHELTERS ON THE PUPPY HILL- SO I STARTED LOOKING THEM UP- AND
EVEN WENT TO THE VEAL CALF HUTCHES ( BIGGER IGLOOS) . AND THEN I THOUGHT I
REALLY SHOULDTRY AND STAY WITHIN THE INDIAN THEME AND BUILD THEM A TIPI OF THEIR
OWN.. WE HAVE EXTRA POLES..
CERTAINLY A SMALLER TIP[I WOULD DO FOR THEM-- 8' THE CHILD
SIZE
I AM TRYING TO GATHER ALL THE LONG POLES TO PUT UP OUR USUAL TIPI OF EITHER 18 OR 20 ' DEPENDING ON THE COLLECTION OF POLES-- THEY ARE IN THE ARENA AND NEED TO BE DUG OUT..
GOOD VOLUNTEER PROJECT... DIG THEM OUT AND MEASURE
THEM
WE NEED ABOUT 24' LONG POLES 17 OF THEM-- AND I THINK WE
HAVE THEM.. JUST NEED TO BE FOUND.
YOU WOULD THINK 24' LONG THINGS COULD NOT BE HIDDEN ON THIS
FARM... BUT THEY CAN.
AND A TIPI FOR THE DOGS WILL BE FUN- TIL THEY EAT
IT.
WORTH A TRY,
***************
I WATCH THE APPROACHING GREE BLOB ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL WITH
GREAT ANTICIPATION- WE NEED THE RAIN BIG TIME. I HAD TO DIG A HOLE TO BURY A
COUPLE CARTONS OF BEEF THAT WENT BAD WHEN THE FRIDGE STOPPED- AND DOWN 4 FEET IT
WAS STILL JUST DUST.,
WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION OF A GOOD RAINFALL, I WILL PUT THE
BUCKET UNDER THE LEAK INTHE ROOF .
I ONLY HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN IT RAINS.
I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print
