I PUT MY CLEAN CLOTHES ON MY BUREAU- DOESN'T SOUND EARTH SHATTERING... B UT I HAVE NOT HAD A BUREAU FOR MANY MANY YEARS.. FIRST PROBLEM WAS A HUSBAND-- SECOND PROBLEM SERV DOG RECORDS-- BUT THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN BOOTED TO THE ROLLING CART IN THE TV ROOM.
LITTLE THINGS
MAYBE THAT IS WHY I CAN APPRECIATE THE PERSON WITH A NEW SERVICE DOG WHO BURSTS INTO TEARS BECAUSE SHE CAN NOW GO UP A CURB WITH HER DOG.
OR BOTH JADE AND LAUREN WHO'S SCHOOLS PUT IN ELEVTORS FOR THEM-- JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 3 STEPS WHICH THEY COULD NOT NAVAGATE WITHOUT A DOG.;
YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE THE CONVENIENCES-- OR LACK THEREOF.
IF I WAS IN EDUCATION ( AND YOU CAN BE THANKFUL I AM NOT...) I WOULD HAVE A CLASS IN LIFETIME EXPERIENCES... LIKE-- GO THRU A DAY WITH SOCKS ON BOTH HANDS.-- TURN OFF THE HOT WATER HEATER FOR 3 DAYS--- OR THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC SERVICE-- TRY NOT EATING UNTIL YOU START A FIRE WITHOUT MATCHES. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING PLASTIC FOR 24 HOURS.. SIT IN A WHEELCHAIR AND NOT PUT YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND FOR A DAY... THINGS LIKE THAT.
MIGHT CAUSE KIDS TO THINK DIFFERENTLY..
BACK TO MY FAVORITE TED LECTURE BY KEN ROBERTSON HOW ALL EDUCATION NOW IS TO CREATE UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS WHO HAVE NO PRACTICAL SKILLS OR CREATIVITY.....
AND THEN THERE IS TH E AMERCAN WAY OF NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND- INSTEAD OF NO CHILD NOT PUSHED TO THEIR BEST ABILITY...- AND WE WONDER WHY THE REST OF THE WORLD IS WAY AHEAD OF US EDUCATION WISE.-- AREN'T WE 47TH IN MATH SKILLS???
HOW DID I GET INTO THIS???
ALL BECAUSE I CAN NOW SORT MY CLOTHES ON A BUREAU????....
*************
I HAVE SOOOOO MANY TIMES SAID--- SOON--- ON THE BOOK... BUT I HAVE NOW SEEN A PRINTED VERSION--- IT IS VERY RESPECTABLE- A LARGE PAPERBACK ---- THE LATEST RUMOR IS THT JANINE HAS CHANGED THE SIZE TO A MORE USUAL PAPERBACK SIZE AND WILL ALLOW AMAZON TO GET IT ON THE MARKET....

WE GOT THRU TH E ONE SPAY ONE NEUTER YESTERDAY-- AND THE PATIENTS ARE DOING WELL HERE IN THE HOUSE... WELL KHAKI IS A BIT NERVOUS...-- THESE GUYS NEED MOR HANGING AROUND TIME...
I COUNTED YESTERDAY-- THE NUMBER OF DOGS HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE VOLUNTEERS OR WORKS HERE-- 9 DOGS.. MORE ATTENTION HAS TO BE MADE ON GIVING ALL OUR DOGS TIME OUT LOOSE----- ALL THESE OTHER DOGS HAVE A CHANGE OF SCENERY WHEN THEY GO HOME AT NIGHT...... SO THEY MUST SPEND MORE TIME IN THE VARIOUS KENNELS AND NOT TAKING UP THE ENTIRE PPUPPY HILL OR FLAT FIELD FOR HOURS...
I REALIZE THE OTHER PROBLEM IS MALES... BUT BENTLEY HAS TO GET OUT TOO,,, AND MOST OF THE PUPS CAN BE OUT IN THE T TENT WHEN HE IS HTHERE... AS LONG AS I AM...
