WHAT A DELIGHTFUL BUNCH OF VISITORS THEY CAME THEY SAW AND THEY CONQUERED OUR SYSTEM...
AIDED BY ALL OUR PURPLE SHIRTERS KEEPING THINGS ON AN EVEN KEEL --
TINA AND JULIE DID AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB OF ORGANIZING...
EVEN IF THE CROWD THEY WERE ORGANIZING WERE PERFECT GUESTS TO BEGIN WITH..
JUST A FEW OF THE SPECTACLAR INCIDENTS TO MENTION
JACK'S CHAIR WAS THE PHOTO OP OF THE DAY
MARIA ND MEGAN MANAGED TO GET EVERY DOG LOOSE ROAMING THE CROWD AND WE HAD NO ARGUEMENTS
EARLENE AND BUD MANAGED TO GET THE TRADITIONAL CHICKEN STEW MADE---AND PEOPLE ASKED FOR THE RECIPIE ( WHAT A JOKE THAT IS)
JACKIE (CP FROM INDIANNA WHO IS HERE FOR A SPELL) PUPPY SAT MOST OF THE DAY
ANNE RAN THE DOGGIE BAG STORE
THERESA DID THINGS
PAULA WAS THERE TO HELP JADE WHO FELL ( CONTRARY TO THINGS ON FACEBOOK, WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL REPORT ON HOW SHE IS)
SHELIA GOT THE BRAINSTORM OF RAFFLING OFF MAILCALL AND GOT $400 FOR DAVID'S WHEELCHAIR FUND.
MARK WAS MARK
LUNCH APPEARED THANKS TO BARBARA
PAUL GOT PARKING ORGANIZED AND MADE PREPARATIONS TO PULL EVERYONE OUT WITH THE TRACTOR.
TESS CARRIED THE UMBRELLA OVER MEGAN WHILE SHE FED IN THE RAIN.-- THIS WAS A GOOD ONE AS WE ALL WATCHED FROM THE T TENT.
BAILEY SUPERVISED THINGS SHE THOUGHT NEEDED HER SUPERVISION
AND WE ALL MANAGED TO DO ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO EVERYDAY ANYWAY-- FOOD WATER ETC
BUD 2 WITH SERVICE DOG INDY SLEPT 2 NIGHTS IN THE TIPI-
- LOVE THESE VETERANS-- THEY THINK THE TIPI IS SUPER ACCOMODATIONS-- I SUPPPOSE COMPARED TO IRAQ, IT IS
EARLY SANDY REDID MY SPIRIT PARADE CEREMONY INTO SOMETHING FAR BETTER.
****************
I HAVE TO REPORT THE ONE NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I DID HAVE.
THE LOBSTER /CLAMBAKE COMPANY ARRIVED-- AND USUALLY THEY HAVE EVERYTHING IS WHITE STYROFOAM COOLERS- I LOOKED AT THE STUFF ON THE TABLES AND THOUGHT - THAT IS NEVER ENOUGH TO FEED 100 PEOPLE-- THE DRIVER HANDED ME THE BILL AND I LOOKED... IT SAID 30 LOBSTER DINNERS AND 25 CHICKEN
I NEARLY DROPPED-- THT IS HALF WHT I ORDERED...ONE DREADFUL MOMENT I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD NOT CALLED TO REVISE THE NUMBERS TO 60 AND 50 WILDLY TRYING TO FIGURE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO BOIL 30 MORE LOBSERS ETC... WHEN THE DRIVER SAID THE COMPUTER MISFIRED-- THE NUMBERS ARE DOUBLE THAT -- AND TH ECHICKEN WAS IN THE BROWN COOLERS NOT UNLOADED YET...
THAT IS THE KIND OF MISTAKE I KNOW I COULD MAKE...
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR...
FINE BY ME-- IT WAS RELATIVELY PAINLESS.
BUT I WILL NEED A PERSONAL MEMORY PERSON...
***************************
THE WHOLE THING WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY EXPLORE WHO INTRODUCED US TO THE CAMERA PEOPLE.
WITHOUT EXPLORE AND THE CAMERA PEOPLE WE WOULD BE STRUGGLING ALONG PRODUCING 4 DOGS A YEAR
WE ARE NOW ON A ROLL
BESIDES HAVING ALL THIS FUN....
. KEEP IN MIND OUR ORIGINAL GOAL OF PRODUCING SUPER SERVICE DOGS-- HAS GONE FROM 4 A YEAR TO 24 A YEAR NOW... AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY WE COULD DO MORE.
GEORGE ( WHO MADE AN APPEARENCE) TOLD ME THE NEXST THING I NEED IS TO PUT UP A PROPER KENNEL ALL STAINLESS STEEL. I TOLD HIM I WOULD BE GLAD TO AS SOON AS WE HAVE A MILLION $$ DONATION TO DO SO.
I WILL START THE DESIGN ON PAPER
IF I COULD ONLY FIND A PEN.
I DO MAINTAIN.. PERFECTION IS EXPENSIVE-- IT IS ALSO A BIT DULL AND BORING. SERVICE DOG PROJECT IS BLESSED TO HAVE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE VERY ACCOMPLISHED AND ENJOY THE CHALLENGE OF THE UNUSUAL..AKA OUT OF THE BOX SOLUTIONS.
****************
THERE ARE STIL CP'S AROUND-- IT IS 8:01 AND THERE IS SOMEONE AT THE GATE...
I KNW THEY WEILL BE AROUND UNTL ABOUT THE 10TH-- WHOIC IS WHEN THEY WILL HAVE TO GO HOME BECAUSE I WILL BE RETURNING THE PORTAPOTTES..
****************
MY GOAL OF THE DAY IS TO REMOVE THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT FROM MY ROOM-- SLEEPING AMID CARDBOARD BOXES HAS LOST IT'S CHARM.
i know i have 2 chicken borards up in error... go head and use them memsaic will fix it.
