I DO NOT UNDERSAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD INTENTIOINALLY PASS AROUND ABSOLUTELY FALSE INFORMATION WHICH IS USUALLY OF AN INFLAMATORY NATURE.-------SO .LET ME GET RID OF THIS BEFORE IT GOES VIRAL.. AND IN THE PROCESS I HOPE LL OF YOU WILL CONSIDER THE SOURCE OF ANY INFORMATION BEFORE YOU GIVE IT THE TIME OF DAY.
HERE'S WHAT I GOT.
I knew I had to write you. Long story short, what I found out from someone who'd been at WALK very recently, is that they sold ALL of the pups you gave them because they never had any intention of keeping them.
I CALLED AND SPOKE TO BOTH MIKE AND BOB TO FIND OUT WHERE THIS CAME FROM... AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING...
TRUTH IS....
ONE PUP HAS GONE TO AN AUTISTIC CHILD--- WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL TRAINED SERVICE DOG TITLE BECAUSE OF THE LIABILITY-- THE FAMILY IS COMING BACK REGULARLY TO GET HELP TRAINING HIM WITH THE IDEA OF EVENTUALLY PASSING TH EPUBLIC ACCESS TEST ND BECOME TITLED.
SECOND PUP IS WITH A CHILD WITH BIRTH DEFECTS- AGAIN A "SERVICE DOG IN TRAINING" SAME DEAL AS ABOVE...SAME AS WE DO...
WE HAVE DONE EXACTLY THAT SEVERAL TIMES-- LET A PUP GO EARLY - PLAN BEING FOR THE RECIPIENT TO BECOME THE PUPPY RAISER WITH OUR HELP...
ONE PUP IS WITH MIKE AND THE OTHER 2 WITH PUPPY RAISERS-- SAME DEAL AS MOST OF THE OTHER TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES... NOT EVERYONE HAS THE FACILITY WE DO AND THEY "USE" PUPPY RAISERS INSTEAD..
AND THEY DID SELL ONE TO BE ABLE TO BUY A RUSSIAN FEMALE- FOR THIER BREEDING PROGRAM... I DID KNOW ABOUT THAT - AND SDP IS IN LINE TO POSSIBLE GET A PUP FROM THEM TO KEEP OUR GENE POOL FULL
ALL RESPONSIBLE, NORMAL DECISIONS..
NOW WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO DISTORT THAT INTO "THEY SOLD ALL THE PUPS AND HAD NO INTENTION OF KEEPING THEM"
I DO NOT KNOW...
TECHNICALLY I SUPPOSE THEY ARE CORRECT IN SAYING THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF KEEPING THEM-- I HAVE NO INTENTION OF KEEPING ANY OF THE HERD WE HAVE HERE..... BUT TO PHRASE IT THE WAY IT WAS IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE AND MISLEADING.
I ASKED MIKE WHERE THIS COULD HAVE COME FROM AND WAS TOLD
"THERE IS A GUY WITH A CAMERA SNOOPING AROUND A BIT MORE THAN NORMAL"
WE DISCUSSED THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS - AND IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR...
SO PLEASE... EVERYONE---IF YOU PICK UP A WILD RUMOR-- PLEASE-- BEFORE YOU PASS IT AROUND, CHECK WITH ME... I DO NOT KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD WANT TO INTERUPT THE GOOD WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE... BUT IT SEEMS THAT IS THE CASE.
THAT IS WHY I LIKE DEALING WITH DOGS BETTER THAN PEOPLE--- NO SELF RESPECTING DOG WOULD PULL OFF THAT STUNT.
************
BACK TO BUSINESS...
OUR ICU PATIENTS ARE LITERALLY OFF THE WALL-- BOTH BALANCING ON THE LEDGE OF THE BAY WINDOW- SO I WOULD SAY IT IS TIME THEY REJOINED THE REST OF THE WORLD...
*****
WE SPLIT THE 8 PUPS IN HALF.... 4 IN THE KENNEL 10-- WHERE THE CAMERA COULD KEEP AN EYE ON THEM A LITTLE...EVEN SEEING ONE PUP ON CAMERA GIVES US AN IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THAT SMALL AREA- NOT PERFECT SOLUTION BUT WITH ANIMAL REARING THERE IS NO PERFECTION.
LIKE PUTTING YOUR KID ON THE BUS FOR KINDERGARDEN-- THEY GOTTA GO-- AND THAT IS NOT PERFECT EITHER.
WE WILL SWAP THEM AROUND...
************
MY LITTLE HOUSE BUILDING WENT BEAUTIFULLY -- ESPECIALLY SINCE PAUL HAMMERED THE FINAL NAILS IS-- I RAN OUT OF GAS AGAIN..
BUT IT HAS PROVEN IF I CUT THE LUMBER AND HAVE IT READY, LOTS OF SCREWERS CAN PUT IT TOGETHER... SO THT IS THE PLAN FOR THE DAY... AND WEEKEND... WE HAVE POWER DRILLS--- ALOT OF THEM-- AND THE Van is FULL OF LUMBER ETC...
NOW I SHOULD WRITE DIREFCTIONS AS IF YOU JUST OPENED THE CARTON OF PIECES FOR A CHILDS TOY.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
2 PIECES OF PLYWOOD 3X3,
1 PIECE 2X4----
4 2X3 36"
4 2X3---- AND THINGS LIKE THAT
POWER TOOLS ARE WONDERFUL THINGS..--
*********
BERRY -- ONE OF THE ICU PATIENTS IS STILL A BIT LOOPY-- SHE NEEDS SPECIAL HANDLING TO GET OVER WHTEVER IT IS THAT SPOOKS HER. SO SHE IS STILL IN THE HOUSE...
THE OTHER ONE TO WATCH IS ONYX-- I CAN NOT FULLY SAY AGRESSIVE-- BUT I SAW THE RUN ACROSS THE YARD AND TACKLE A PATIENT WITH LITTLE MORE ENTHUSIASM THAN I LIKE TO SEE...
****************
THAT IS ENOUGH FOR THE DAY-- I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BERRY..
