THE PORTAPOTTIES-- SHOULD ARRIVE TODAY-- ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL??? THAT IS ACTUALLY THE ONLY REALLY CRITICAL PART OF THIS WEEKEND.. THE REST IS JUST GONNA HAPPEN-- THESE CAMERA PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT US, WHERE EVERYTHING IS,, NAMES OF MORE OF THE BLACK DOGS THAN I DO... ETC-- SO THEY ARE JUST GOING TO DO THIER OWN THING... WITH NO CAMP COUNCILOR BLOWING A WHISTLE.
I AM HOPING WE GET THE BARN PAINTED... I FIGURE THEN EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A SOUVINEER-- GREEN PAINT ON THEIR CLOTHES.. IT IS PRETTY MUCH ONE STORY HIGH
I WILL TRY AND ENFORCE THE NEW RULE AROUND HERE-- YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ONE AILMENT AND ONE MEDICTION PER DAY-- WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SO MANY PROBLEMS AND PILLS THAT THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION CAN DETERIORATE TO PILL TAKING..AND HEALTH PROBLEMS.
THERESA-- TODAY FIND OUT WHO DONATED THE MONEY FOR THE FLAGPOLE AND LET THEM KNOW WE WILL TRY AND RAISE IT TOMORROW-- OR MAYBE THURSDAY... THE CONCRETE IS POURED - THANK S TO MASTERSON'S
*********
NOW BOUT THE CAMERA---
AFTER MUCH PROBLEM WITH SEMANTICS BETWEEN TIM AND ME....
HE SENT ME ANOTHER CAMERA LIKE THE PUPPY HILL ONE-- AND REFERRED TO REPLACING THE INDOOR CAMERA-- I STARTED THINKING THE INDOOR PUPPY ROOM CAMERA- BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THAT..
THIS IS REALLY RATHER A DUL STORY-- THE BASIC PROBLEM WAS TO TIM, IT WAS THE PEO AND PRTCAMERAS AND I ONLY KNEW THE LITTLE WHITE OF BIG BLACK ONE
ANYWAY THAT NEW CAMERA WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE WE COULD GO TO A WEB AND CONTROL IT-- LIKE THEY DO WITH PUPPY HILL-- BUT THE HOUSE IS TOO SMALL FOR IT-- SO THEY ARE GOING TO RE-FIT IT FOR OUTSIDE AND PUT IT IN THE T TENT-- WHICH SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTING FOR THE CAMERA PEOPLE. AND WE ARE BCK T THE OLD LITTLE WHITE ONE..
THAT SHOULD BE EASIER TO DEAL WITH FOR THE IMPENDING BIRTH.
*********
SCARLOTT IS FINE--- SHE HAS NOT DONE MUCH NESTING AT ALL YET... COULD BE A FEW MORE DAYS-- SHE IS GETTING BIGGER BY THE MOMENT.
I BELIEVE THIS PROCESS IS CALLED ANALYZING EVERY PHART.
WE WAIT AND WATCH...
*********
THE RULE OF THUMB FOR THE WEEKEND IS TO "ASK A PURPLE SHIRT" IF ALL OUR REGULARS ARE HERE-- DOING THEIR USUAL CHORES WHICH ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE DONE ANYWAY... THEN THESE CAMERA PEOPLE CAN FALLL INTO STEP WHERE EVER IT SEEMS LOGICAL.
IF THERE IS A MECHANICALLY INCLINED. CP...... I WOUL D LIKE TO GET THAT HANDICAPP RAMP PUT TOGETHER WHICH IS IN THE ARENA..
***********
WE--- STEPH AND I -- STARTED THE PUPS ON THE FIGURE 8 LEASH TRAINING -- WE DID MAROON, DOLLY,VIOLET,JANE I NEED REMKINDING TO DO THE OTHER4 AND CONTINUE... THAT CAN BE A WEEKEND DEMO
*****
SOMEHOW WE WILL GET THRU THIS... IT WILL BE MORE THAN THE WEEKEND AS PEOPLE SEEM TO BE COMING AND GOING FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS...
WHATEVER--- WE HAVE A SCHEDULE TO KEEP--- AND PUPS TO WHELP...
*******************
OLIVER IS COMING BACK--
I CALLED TONIGHT BECAUSE I WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE LOVED OLIVER. ALTHOUGH I AM VERY VERY SAD THAT HE IS LEAVING I HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH FROM HAVING HIM THESE PAST MONTHS HE IS SIMPLY THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
HE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT WITH OUR OTHER TWO DOGS, WONDERFUL WITH SMALL CHILDREN . PETER's STABILITY AND BALANCE HAS DETERIORATED IN THE PAST MONTHS AND HE IS FALLING MUCH MORE NOW.
WE BOTH WISH THAT WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT YOU A FEW YEARS EARLIER IN THE PROGRESSION OF HIS DISEASE. I DO THINK OLIVER HAD MATURED, BEEN WELL LOVED AND WELL CARED FOR BY OUR WHOLE FAMILY. HE HAS ACTUALLY DECIDED TO FETCH HIS OWN LARGE BALL(PICKED IT UP FROM OUR OTHER DOGS ALL ON HIS OWN) AND HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE TO COMMANDS) HE LOVES GALLOPING THROUGH THE WOODS, HAS SPENT ALL HIS TIME WITH WITH PEOPLE, HANDLES CAR TRAVEL VERY WELL, BEEN GROCERY SHOPPING, TO A VARIETY STORES AND GOOD WITH STRANGERS-EVEN MEN! HE HAS WADED --BUT NOT DID NOT SWIM-IN THE OCEAN. HE ALWAYS COMES WHEN CALLED.
Warmest regard
Katherine
