JULY 12, 2013

THE BOOK.... DIDDLING WITH IT-- I HAVE SOME EDITING TO DO... I AM GOING TO INSIST THAT THE FACTS ARE CORRECT-- JANINE HAS TOLD THE ANIMAL EPISODES PORTION OF THE BOOK -- AND SHE HAS ADDED SOME THINGS I FIND UNACCEPTable

 LIKE LUCY THE PIG WAS TRAINED TO COME , FETCH THINGS, SIT AND LIE DOWN.... SHE WAS NOT TRAINED TO ROLL OVER- I DO NOT THINK A PIG IS THE SHAPE THT WOULD ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.. ....FOR JANINE TO INCLUDE THAT IS SLOPPY WRITING

I WOULD NOT WANT ANYONE TO THINK WE MADE ANY OF THIS STUFF UP. I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD MAKE UP SOME OF THE THINGS THAT JUST HAPPEN AROUND HERE.

SO I AM RED PENCILING HER DRAFT.

*******

SHE IS NOT GOING TO TAKE IT LIGHTLY-- BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF ANOTHER WILD STORY.. JANINE IS CURRENTLY A NERVOUS ----A PLUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP ON SCHEDULE.


JANINE IS HOMELESS- SHE GOT TIRED OF PAYING HER MORGAGE SO SHE RENTED HER HOUSE OUT- BEFORE SHE HAD MADE PROVISION FOR HERSELF AND SON TO LIVE SOMEWHERE.

THIS KIND OF THING IS NOT TERRIBLY UNUSUAL-- COULD BE SHE IS IN THE GUEST HOUSE-- I KNOW HER LAUNDRY IS IN MY WASHER.AND . MY FRIDGE IS RELATIVELY EMPTY---

WHEN WE FIRST MOVED HERE SHE LIVED IN THE FRONT OF THE HORSE TRAILER FOR A MONTH- AND THAT WAS CONSIDERED FAIRLY NORMAL.

AND YOU WONDER WHY I BOUGHT A TIPI?

IT WILL BE THE OVERFLOW GUEST ROOM.

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

WE ARE REALLY PRESSED FOR DD NEWS...

 THE PROBLEM BEING ... ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO--- BEFORE EXPLORE -- I DID NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL COURAGE TO BREED ANOTHER LITTER-- SO RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY DOGS READY TO GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AS FINISHED SERVICE DOGS.

THEREFORE THE ONLY TRAINING NEWS I HAVE IS THAT WE ARE ALL PLODDING IN CIRCLES TRYING TO ACHIEVE BOREDOM SO WE CAN CONTINUE THE MORE EXPLICIT TRAINING AND GET THESE DOGS OUT OF HERE TO THIER NEW PARTNERS.

PRETTY DULL

**********

SO... FOR EXCITEMENT-- MERLOW'S PUPS EYES ARE OPEN

 THE TIPI POLES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED WEDNESDAY AND THEY WERE NOT.

WE DID MANAGE TO GET SOME OLD POLES AND CANVAS INTO THE V PEN FOR SHADE FOR ANY PUPS THAT ARE THERE IN ANOTHER WEEK OR SO.....


THESE PUPS BEING SMALL WE HAVE TO PUT UP ALL TH E USED CAR TINFOIL BANNERS- TO KEEP HAWKS AWAY.

****

AND I FOUND YELLOW INDEX 5 X 8 CARDS- MAYBE NO I CAN GET ORGANIZED - HISTORICALLY I ALWAYS CARRIED A 5X8 FOLDED IN THIRDS WITH ALL THE DAILY DATA ON IT-- THINGS TO DO-- APPOINTMENTS-- PHONE NUMBERS

A TRIFOLDED 5X8 STANDS UP ALERTLY ON MY DESK, FITS IN A POCKET, AND CLIPS ON MY GOLF CART STEERING WHEEL

 WHAT ELSE COULD I ASK FOR.?

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

SHELIA AND I HAD A GOOD ARGUEMNENT GOING YESTERDAY- I LOVE ARGUING WITH SHELIA- ESPECIALLY WHEN NEITHER OF US KNOWS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT..

IT HAD TO DO WITH AIR PRESSURE-- AND DID YOU LOOSE PRESSURE OVER A LONGER DISTANCE OF SOLID PIPE OR HOSE???

SHE WENT HOME TO LOOK IT UP--

WHEN ONE PERSON KNOWS THE CORRECT ANSWER IT RUINS ALL THE FUN.

I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print
