JULY 17, 2013
MANY THANKS TO THE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARRIVED IN SUCH SPLENDER TO HELP WITH THE SHORTAGE--- I THINK ALL THE DOGS GOT BETTER ATTENTION YESTERDAY-- THEY WERE A BIT QUIETER LAST NIGHT-- SO I DID GET A BIT OF SLEEP.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN MAKE PLANS TO HELP AS WE GO ON THRU THE WEEK. INCLUDING A KENYON FRIEND OF GWEN'S.

REMINDS ME OF MY ANIMAL EPISODES DAYS WHEN I COULD PUT THE CALL OUT FOR EMERGENCY HELP AND BOTH MY KIDS--- IN COLLEGE --PROVIDE ME WITH A HUGE SUPPLY OF WONDERFUL HELP THAT WAS INTELLIGENT AND BROKE.... SO IF I NEEDED 8 PEOPLE TO MEET ME AT 5AM IN THE CITY HALL PLAZA IN BOSTON, 8 PEOPLE WOULD BE THERE READY FOR WHATEVER HAPPENED..

WHAT IS NOW AMUSING IS I OFTEN RUN INTO THESE ADULTS IN SOME PRETTY AMAZING JOBS AND WE REMINISS ABOUT HOW THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF THE CHICKEN TRAY-- OR POO PICKING IN THE DONKEY PEN-- FOR SOME ANIMAL EPISODES JOB. I

I HAVE OFTEN HEARD THEM SAY THOSE CRAZY JOBS PREPARED THEM WELL FOR WHAT THEY WOULD FACE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. ..... "SH#T HAPPENS DEAL WITH IT".

***********

THAT IS ABOUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS SHORTHANDED WEEK.

***********

IT IS NOT ALL DRAB BY A LONG SHOT...

ALONG WITH THE GENERIC VOLUNTEERS HERE... I HAVE TO MENTION THE CRAZY CAMERA BUNCH WHO HAVE BEEN PROVIDING US WITH AMUSEMENT WITH A FEW OFF BEAT COMMENTS TO MAKE US CHUCKLE-- AND COOKIES..... AND FRUIT ( THOSE CHERRES WERE WONDERFUL)

I ALSO HAVE TO MENTION THE NUTTY PROCEEDURE ABOUT OPENING THE MAIL AT 5:00PM SEVERAL CP's HAVE CONTINUED TO SEND US A DOLLAR OR TWO IN A COLORED ENVELOPE-- FOR THE FUN JUG... WHICH IS TO BE USED FOR THINGS NOT QUITE ESSENTIAL. AT 5PM WE SIT WITH THE WHITE BOARD AND TELL PEOPLE WHERE THE MAIL IS COMING FROM-- AND OUR NUMBER OF PEOPLE WATCHING NEARLY DOUBLES DURING THAT PROCESS...

 THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOITE THINGS ABOUT THE EXPLORE CAMERAS, IT GIVES PEOPLE WHO'S BUDGET CAN AFFORD ONLY A DOLLAR OR TWO A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE. ..PLUS... THOSE WHO CAN BUY THOSE VERY CRITICAL CHICKEN BRICKS. THOSE ARE NOT THE FUN FUND...CHICKEN BRICKS ( OFF OUR WEB) ARE CRITICAL-- FOOD AND UTILITIES..

I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO DISCOURGE ANY ROVING MILLIONAIRES WHO MIGHT WRITE US A BIG CHECK... BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE CAMERA PEOPLE THAT I AM CONFIDENT ON RELYING ON THE CHICKEN BRICK PEOPLE. THOSE BRICKS GAVE US CONFIENCE TO BREED MERLOW AND PI FOR THIS CURRENT PUPS.

WITHOUT CBP ( CHICKEN BRICK PEOPLE) BENTLEYS LOVE LIFE WOULD SUFFER GREATLY.

SO HE THANKS YOU TOO.

 *******************

THE EMAIL SYS TEM CONTINUES TO BAFFLE MANY OF YOU-- I SUGGEST YOU PASS THE WORD AROUND THAT I (USUALLY REMEMBER) TO POST THIS OFF OUR WEB PAGE.. I THINK MY EMAIL LIST GOT TOO LARGE ANMD IT IS SCREWING UP SOMEWHERE-- BUT YOU SHOULD FIND THE DD OFF OUR WEB.

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

BAFFLE-- NOW THERE IS A GOOD NAME FOR A HARL PUP-- ALONG WITH CHAOS,MAYHEM ETC...
