MAY 8, 2013

I AM SOOOOO EXCITED TO REPORT THIS FINDING THAT BECKY SHARED...

IN MY WORLD THIS IS AN EARTH SHATTERING DISCOVERY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE IMPLICTIONS....

SHE WAS IN A SUPERMARKET CHECK OUT LINE WITH STANLEY- AND HE ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN TO PANT WITH NO APPARENT REASON..... SHE TOOK HIM OUTSIDE WHERE HE HAD EXTENSIVE PANCAKE STOOL. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A ONE TIME THING AND DIDN'T PAY FULL ATTENTION TIL BENTLY SITTING NEXT TO ME SAT UP- AND JUST SLIGHTLY BEGAN TO PANT...

 SO I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE- HE RAN FOR THE DOOR AND RAN DOWN THE WALK. I COULD NOT SEE WHAT HAPPENED-- BUT I COULD HEAR IT.

WHEN YOU CAN HEAR A DOG MOVING THEIR BOWELS, IT MEANS ONLY ONE THING ... GET THE PEPTO...

INTERESTING....

*********************

WE HAVE SOMETHING GOING ROUND HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE-- BETWEEN VOMITING AND DIARRHEA- THERE ARE NOW- BEFORE INSPECTING THE BARN TIS MORNING, ABOUT 6 WITH THE PROBLEM.-

ONLY ONE HAS A TEMP--

THE REST JUST 2 EXITS NO WAITING....

I HAVE GEORGE ON NOTICE-- HE RIGHTLY SUGGESTS THAT WE GET A SAMPLE FROM SEVERAL AND DO A LARGE FECAL SCREENING  ($200) FOR SOME EXOTIC THINGS.. WE DO HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON... EVEN THO THEY SEEM TO GET OVER IT SO FAR IN 24 HOURS... BY THE TIME WE HAVE 50 DOGS WITH 4 AT A TIME VOMITING... IT COULD TAKE A WHILE TO GET OVER THIS.

THANK HEAVENS WE ARE DUE FOR 3 DAYS OF RAIN... TO HELP WASH THIS OFF THE SURFACE OF THE SOIL..

********************

I KNOW IT WILL RAIN... BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I PURCHASED THE CORRECT SIZE AND LEGNTH OF HOSE TO DEAL WITH THE WELL. UP TIL NOW I BOUGHT DOZENS OF HOSE PATCHING KITS... THANKS TO THE CHICKEN NUMBERS AND THE CAMERA PEOPLE, I JUST BOUGHT 200' OF PROPER 3/4" HOSE.

SEE... WE HAVE A 500' DEEP WELL-- EXCELLENT QUANTITY OF WATER- IF YOU DON'T MIND THAT IT SMELLS LIKE FISH... WE HAD IT TESTED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH-- THEY SAID IT IS SAFE TO DRINK- BUT SUGGESTED WE MINE IT INSTEAD, IT IS OFF ALL THE CHARTS ON MINERAL CONTENT.

NOW THAT WE HAVE TOWN WATER, I USE THAT WELL TO WATER THE FLAT FIELD A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR- THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TRYING EXPERIENCE ---

WE ONCE HAD A COCKATU ( BIG WHITE PAROTT THING) LOOSE INTHE YARD AND HE PARADED AROUND PECKING ONE HOLE IN ANYTHING PLASTIC /RUBBER-- SO ALL THE HOSES WERE MORE PATCH MENDING KITS THAN ACTUAL HOSE AND THEY ALL LEAKED.

HAVING PURCHASED HOSE, IT NOW WILL RAIN-- BUT I KNOW WE WILL NEED TO WATER THAT GRASS AGAIN.. AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD...

***

PLUS I WILL HAVE TO BUY MORE GRASS SEED- BECAUSE -- ONCE AGAIN .. MARY BROKE INTO THE SHOP AND ATE MOST OF A 5# BAG OF GRASS SEED.... SCATTERING THE REST ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR OF THE SHOP AS SHE SHOOK THE BAG.

IT IS A YEARLY RITUAL.
IT IS AN IQ TEST-- AND MARY IS WINNING.

 ****************

I EXPECT MOST OF THE DAY WILL BE DEALING WITH THE INTESTINAL WHATEVER WE HAVE GOING ON... WE SURE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY DOGS OUT TRAINING TIL WE GET A BETTER LINE ON WHAT IS GOING ON...

**********

AXEL - HAS OFFERED TO HELP WITH EXCELL TYPE STUFF- BLESS HIM-- AND I THINK IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF HE WOULD TAKE ON THE SALES -- IT IS A VERY MINOR THING AT THE MOMENT-- PUPPY BREATH AND CALENDARS-

- BUT THE4 CAMERA PEOPLE NOW WANT MONKEY FISTS-- AND THAT WILL BLOW MY MIND.- I HAVE SCREWED THAT UP BEFORE-- I DON'T MIND MAKING THEM-- BUT BETWEEN WANTING A 3"FIST WITH A 6 FOOT LEASH WITH A SNAP OR RING.... IT IS TOO MANY VARIABLES FOR ME..

NOW IF WE PUT A FEW ITEMS FOR SALE ON OUR WEB.. WE MAY SET UP "THE DOGGIE BAG " FOR A STORE.

******************

WE HAVE NOT SOLVED THE CPA PROBLEM YET BUT ARE WORKING ON IT.

TODAY SCHEDULE?

I DUNNO UNTIL TRACY-- AND MEGAN GET HERE TO TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE BARN...
