JUNE 14, 2013
PAUL ATTACKED BY NASTY SANDWICH. -- AND SAVED BY A CAMERA PERSON IN TENN-- I COULD NOT MAKE UP THIS STUFF.

APPARENTLY PAUL FELT SICK AS HE APPROACHED TENNASSEE HE REMEMBERED I HAD GIVEN HIM EMAILS FROM SEVERAL CAMERA PEOPLE WHO HAD SAID THEY WERE ON THE WAY...SO HE STOPPED AND WERE WELCOMED BY DIANNE AND TIM ( I THINK WERE THE CP'S )

SINCE HE WAS FELLING LESS THAN PAR.. EARLENE DECIDED TO FLY DOWN AND DRIVE BACK WITH HIM - SOMEHOW THAT FLIGHT AND ARRIVAL TIME GOT PUBLISHED SOMEWHERE -- AND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH SIGNS WERE THERE TO WELCOME HER.

FORTUNATELY IT WAS ALL IN GOOD FUN.

APPARENTLY THEY WILL PICK UP BB TODAY AND START NORTH CHASING THAT RAINSTORM INSTEAD OF DRIVING THRU IT... HOPEFULLY.

*******

TODAYS DD IS EASY TO WRITE .. I HAVE SEVERAL TOPICS READY FOR ME..

********

SPOON FEEDING- BECKY JUST GAVE EVERYONE A SPOONFUL ( SO THEY DON'T VOMIT YELLOW BILE AS AN EMPTY DANE STOMACH IS INCLINED TO DO)

AND AS SHE WAS DISHING IT OUT I HEARD BENTLY NO SEVERAL TIMES-- AND I REALIZED THEY ARE TRAINED TO RESPOND TO THIER NAMES SO QUICKLY IN THAT FEEDING ROUTINE -- THAT HE WAS BEING CORRECT IN HEARING HIS NAME AND LURCHING FORWRD SO QUICKLY HE NEVER HEARD THE ----NO--- PART..

BY CHANGING IT TO SAYNG THE NAME ONLY OF THE DOG WHO WAS TO GET THE FOOD, HE WAS PERFECT...

THANKS FOR THE TRAINING TIP BENTLEY...

**********
AND THEN THER IS THE VOLUNTEER PROBLEM.

WHEN WE WENT THRU THIS ACCREDITATION PROCESS-- I GOT VERY TIRED OF SHELIA ( O'BRIEN) SAYING " YOU HAVE TO HAVE A POLICY AND IT MUST BE WRITTEN"


WELL YESTERDAY... NO ONE WAS HURT... BUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN EASY POLICY TO MAINTAIN... AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD MUST BE WITHIN 11 FEET OF A PARENT.... DID NOT WORK AND RESULTED IN AN 11 YEAR OLD CHILD DRIVING WILDLY AROUND IN A GOLF CART HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME...... ALSO ENDANGERING PUPS AND ADULT DOGS ALIKE. PLUS... THE WORST PART--- LEAVING ME TO WALK TO THE BARN TO FIND A GOLF CART !!!! TRACY IS VERY PLEASENT AND ACCOMODATING--- WE LIKE THAT --- MOM HAD JU\ST A FEW ERRANDS TO RUN AND DID TRACY MIND? ----- OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T MIND..

WELL I SURE DID !!!

I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT WHEN SOMEONE AVOIDS ASKING MY PERMISSION IT IS BECUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER.
SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE SOB---- AND IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS-- THAT IS MY JOB.
 
LET ME PUT IT ANOTHER WAY-- BABYSITTING IS $14000.00 AN HOUR.
TRAINING CHILDREN TO BEHAVE AS WELL AS OUR DOGS--- IS EVEN MORE.
PEOPLE OFFER ME THAT JOB ALL THE TIME...
****
THE FEAR I HAVE OF A DOG BEING HIT BY A GOLF CART FAR EXCEEDS MY FEAR OF A KID MANGLING THEMSELVES WHEN THE PARENTS DON.T WATCH THEM-- MY INSURANCE COMPANY FEELS DIFFERENTLY I AM SURE.

THERE ARE A FEW KIDS HERE WHO HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO DRIVE THOSE CARTS-- MAINLY BECAUSE THEY USE THEM IN WORK THEY ARE DOING.. LAURA AND DEVLIN BOTH COME TO MIND...

BUT THE NEW POLICY ABOUT VOLUNTEERS IS THAT THEY CAN COME ON A SATURDAY-- WITH MARIA OR SUNDAY WITH MEGAN

AND THEN IF THEY -- THEIR PARENTS ARE WILLING TO MAKE A WEEKLY COMMITMENT PLUS MEGAN AND MARIA GIVE THEM A POSITIVE REPORT ON WORKMANSHIP----, WE CAN ALLOW THEM TO BA AN OFFICIAL VOLUNTEER WITH COMMUNITY SERVICE POINTS--- AND AFTER A BUNCH OF HOURS... MAYBE A SHIRT.

******

RAINY DAY---

WORKING ON THE BOOK---- BEFORE JANINE FIRES ME AND DOES IT HERSELF...

.......THINKING MAYBE THE THIRD JOB.,
