ALL ALIVE AND ACCOUNTED FOR- ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL NIGHT THANKS TO SHELIA- WHO
CONVINCED PI THAT SHE WAS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE BABIES-- HOWEVER.... COLLEEN-
FOR WHATEVER REASON WAS SEEN TO BE A MORTAL ENEMYOF THE PUPS AND WAS LITERALLY
CHASED OUT BY BOTH MOMS.
WHO CAN FIGURE?? IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE ARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERING-- LIKE
HAND SOAP- WHY BUD-- AND ANKLE ANNIE- TWO OF THE KINDEST VOLUNTEERS AROUND--
THEN COLLEEN... BOTH MOMS AT ONCE..
I CAN SEE ONE DOG ONE PERSON FOR A STRANGE REASON LIKE BAILEY WOULD BITE
GEORGE ... THAT I CAN UNDERSTND -- HERE'S A GUY CRAWLING TOWARD HER . ON THE
FLOOR, LOOKING AT HER STRAIGHT IN THE EYE(VERY AGGRESSIVE POSITION)WITH A
BLACK SNAKE (STETHESCOPE) AROUND HIS NECK..AND WHEN I HELD HER FROM BITING HIM,
HE TOOK HOLD OF HER HEAD AND PULLED BACK HER EYELID TO REALLY LOOK IN HER EYE..
THAT HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE AGREESSIVE EYE CONTACT.
AT ANY RATE -- SHE IS COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY--AND GREAT ON THE STRAIGHT
AWAYS--- TURNING CORNERS SOMETIMES IS A PROBLEM- WE HAD A DOG LONG GO LIKE
THIS-- GIGI-- GOT KICKED BY A DONKEY .. COULD JUMP ON THE BED-- NO PROBLEM.. IT
WAS THE CORNERS-- SO WE HAD DOZENS OF BATH MATS AT EVERY CORNER.. SHE WAS
BROWNIE'S MOTHER ( ONE OF THE VERY GREATS) JOINED THE CROWD AT THE RAINBOW
BRIDGE AT 9 YEARS OLD..
****
I WOULD NEVER WISH MEGAN'S PUP ANYTHING BUT THE BEST-- EXCEPT MAYBE TODAY--
I HOPE HE NEEDS SURGERY-- BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE ALTERNATIVE...
CASE IS.... HE HAS DEVELOPED PROJECTILE VOMIT AND DIARRHEA--- HE ALSO ATE
ONE OF HER SOFA'S.. SOO SHE TOOK HIM FOR AN XRAY- AND ETHER HE HAS SOME STOMACH
BUG-- OR A PIECE OF THE SOFA IS STUCK ..
IF HE HAS SOME STOMACH BUG, IT COULD BE DEVASTATING WITH PUPS SO YOUNG IF
IT IS CONTAGEOUS. THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN KEEP THE PUPS IN STERILE CONDITIONS- I
MEAN WE CAN REMOVE OUR SHOES, BUT THE MOMS STILL TRACK IN WHATEVER..
THERE IS SOME THEORY THAT THE MOM'S VACCINATIONS WILL GIVE THE PUPS SOME
IMMUNITY THRU THE COLOSTRUM- BUT WE CAN NOT VACCNATE TIL 6 WEEKS OLD.
***********
YOU ALL WANT TO WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING-- TRY THAT ONE.
I HAD 8 PUPS WITH PARVO ONCE-- THAT IS WHY THERE IS A HOOK IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE KITCHEN CEILING I SPENT A WEEK OF GIVING IV FLUIDS AND TRYIG TO KEEP THE
PLACE 1/2 TIDY. THEY ALL LIVED-- BUT I NEVER WANT TO HAVE THAT AGAIN..
MEGAN IS TO GO BACK THIS MORNING FOR ANOTHER XRAY TO SEE IF THE PLUG HAS
MOVED... IF NOT-- THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO GET IT.
******
I KNOW OF A GUY WHO HAS A PIECE OF STRING IN A FRAME IN HIS HOUSE- IT WAS
WRAPPED AROUNJD HIS PUP'S TONGUE AND SWALLOWED THE OTHER END.. COST $2000 TO
RETRIEVE IT.- AND THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN ON A SUNDAY...
**************
IS SH#TTING SUNDAY SO I HAVE SOME PREP TO DO-- WE WILL SH#T IN THE T
TENT--- TO STAY OUT OF THE SUN..
WE HAVE A LOVELY MARKET UMBRELLA THANKS TO THE CAMERA CROWD.. WE DID HAVE
TO MOVE THAT PATHETIC AMERICAN FLAG THAT MADE US LLOOK LIKE A MASH UNIT. WE
WILL FIND ANOTHER PLACE FOR IT.
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THE PLACE IS TACKY-- BUT DELLORES IS NOW
WEARING EARLENE'S SUIT- A HUGE STEP UP FROM THE VICTORIA SECRET UNDERWEAR.. SHE
STANDS AT A BEND IN THE ROAD TO THE BARN AND EVERYTIME I GO BY I DO A DOUBLE
TAKE THINKING SHE IS REAL-- EVEN WHEN SHE IS MINUS HER WIG-- WHICH IS
OFTEN.
AND I FIND THAT EVERYONE TALKS TO HER AS THEY GO BY...
I WOULDN'T DO THAT
OF COURSE ... I ALWAYS SAY" EXCUSE ME" WHEN I RIDE OVER MARY'S GRAVE WITH
THE LAWN MOWER.
SPEAKING OF BUCKWHEAT-- HE IS DOING VERY WELL- AND IS DEVELOPING THAT WARPD
SENSE OF HUMOR MARY HAD..
PAUL TRIED TO CARRY SOME HAY IN HIS ARMS OUT OF THE BARN AND BB CHASED HIM
BIG TIME-- IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH SOMEONE ELSE RUN ..
TODAY MAYBE WE CAN GET HIM TO THINK OF JOINING US IN THE T TENT -- THE BACK
AREA-- BY CAMERA MARK AND HIS GRILL..
********
NOW LETS SEE IF I CAN REMEMBER TO POST THAT IN THE BLOG
