I WAS HAPPY TO REPORT A SUCCESSFUL MEETING OF YELLOW AND SCARLOT--- I WISH
I COULD REPORT 2 MORE BY NOW BUT IT HAS BEEN NO DICE... SHE HAS HAD A STRANGE
CYCLE BEFORE... THERE IS NOT A DARN THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT WONDER
WHAT IS NEXT... HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY YESTERDAY..
******************
IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE OTHER END OF THE GESTATION PERIOD WHERE YOU SIT
AROUND AND WONDER WHAT IS NEXT ALSO.
******************
WE HAD A LARGE GROUP HERE YESTERDAY.. MANY NEWCOMMERS- WITH KIDS-- ALONG
WITH ANNE AND HER GROUP OF 2 LEGGED DANES..
**************
FOR VISITING GRADUATES ...W E HAD.. LOLA.. CASPER..STANLEY..XL ..TY.. I
HOPE I DIDN'T FORGET ANY..
WE GOT BOTH GROUPS OF PUPS DOWN BY THE T TENT.. USING BOTH THE "MARKET
UMBRELLAS AT EITER END OF THE "GRANDCHILD'S PEN"... I MADE THAT WHEN COLBY WAS
VERY YOUNG- AND JANINE WAS NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THE DOGS-- SO WE PENNED THE
CHILD.... COLBY.
I REMEMBER WHEN GWEN ND JANINE WERE VERY YOUNG WE HAD A RED AND YELLOW
BARREL IN THE YARD--- AND IF I YELLED BOTH KIDS RAN AND JUMPED IN THE BARREL
AND STAYED THERE UNTIL THE ALL CLEAR WAS SOUNDED.
HEY... IT WORKED...
BACK TO THE PUPPY BUS COULD STND SOME LOVING ATTENTION-- IT IS CHIPPED
GOLD AND RUST -- COME NOW WE COULD DO BETTER THAN THAT.... IT DOES HAVE N
AMERICAN FLAG ATTACHED
MAKES US LOOK LIKE A MASH UNIT.
**************
**********
AND JUST OT GET UPDATED---- IT IS TIME WE CHANGED THE MATTRRESSES-- A
SOGGY MOLD BED DOESN'T CUT IT-- AND WHILE WE ARE GETTING CLEANED UP-- WE
SHOULD PULL OUT THAT SECOND WAGON ... LIKE THE ONE THE BED IS ON... AND GET
REDY FOR THE TOPSFIELD FAIR PARADE NOW...
***
THOSE WAGONS... I BOUGHT THEM AT BENSONS ANIMAL FARM WHEN THEY WENTO OUT OF
BUSINESS.. THEY ARE MADE WITH BOTH FRONT AND BACHK WHEELS TURNING IN OPPOSITE
DIRECTIONS....SO THEY TRACK EXACTLY IN THE PATH OF WHATEVER IS TOWING IT... SO
WHEN YOU GO ROUND A CORNER YOU DON'T WIPE OUT 1/2 THE PARADE GOERS...
***
I ACTUALY BUILT 3 MORE LIGHTER WEIGHT ONES FOR WHEN WE HAD THE 8 DONKEY
HITCH-- AND PULLED CARACATURES OF BUSH -- CLINTON -- AND PEROT + THE 4TH WAGON
HAD A SHOVEL AND GARBAGE CAN AND THE SIGN SIAD "THEY ARE ALL FULL OF SH#T" ---
IT WAS A VERY POPULAR PARADE FLOAT. ALSO FROM FIRST DONKEY TO SH#T WAGON
NEARLY 80 FEET LONG... THEY WERE ALL ATTACEHED TO THE WAGON WE USED FOR THE
SANTA SHOT FOR THE CALENDAR.
FUNNY THING ... IN THE SALEM PARADE PEROT BROKE A WHEEL AND WE HAD TO PULL
THE PIN AND LEAVE HIM BEHIND...
HOW WERE WE TO KNOW- IT WAS THE FUTURE....
************
WITH THESE CAMERA PEOPLE COMING E COULD MAKE A BIGGER THAN USUAL SPLASH IN
THAT PARADE...

Hi Carlene,
Let me preface this by saying that Ghilanne can be very critical...(ED NOTE: SHE IS A VETERNARIAN FRIEND OF LYNNE's)
That being said, Ghilanne thoroughly enjoyed her visit today and was extremely impressed with you, the dogs ( isn't everyone?) as well as everyone and everything. She kept remarking about what a great life the dogs had. This is coming from a woman who goes well above and beyond to ensure her dogs have an amazing life everyday.
Having seen many Danes in her practice with temperament and health issues, your breeding choices speak to health and temperament being dramatically improved when tight line breeding isn't practiced. Something I've been "screaming " about for years. She was thrilled to see such healthy, balanced Danes. If she could have, she would have taken every one of the dogs home she was so taken with them.
She was taken aback by the cost of a finished service dog and ask me to explain it. I did, breaking down all the overhead, (housing, heat, electric, etc), food, staff, and....vet bills. She said she wanted to talk to Paul who is her partner at the animal hospital and talk about providing some pro-bono or deeply discounted services for the dogs.
Is there something specific you would want? If I have something I can guide her with it can be helpful.
Her only criticism, (I said she can be critical) , she wanted to know if there wasn't a better way to collect and dispose of the waste as all those plastic bags were an awful lot of plastic going into the landfills.......
I almost drove off the road...........
Happy Sunday,
Lynne
