OCT  8,  2013

SOMETHING LIKE-- SO MANY PROBLEMS -- SO LITTLE TIME-- 

MOST ANNOYING WS THE FACT THAT I SCREWED UP TH E CHICKEN WALL BY OPENING 2 WALLS FOR NOVEMBER..-- IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH USING THE BACK BUTTON  AND ALL THOSE WALLS ADDRESSES LOOK ALIKE   0ED2C6B2AAE9D7   I CAN NOT TELL YOU IF THAT IS THE CORRECT WALL OR NOT  ---

YOU ALL KNOW HOW MANY TYPOS I CAN MAKE IN TYPING  14 CHARACTERS-- THAT DOESN'T HELP EITHER..

SO WE HAD 2 WALLS GOING-- I CALLED MATT- WHO BASICALLY SAID YOU SCREWED UP ... YOU FIX IT..  AND PROCEEDED TO TELL ME HOW TO DO WHAT I KNEW IT NEEDED---  HE TALKS VERY FAST-- AND I HEAR VERY SLOWLY-- SO I PRINTED OUT  HIS DIRECTIONS AND THE PRINTER -- FOR SOME REASON IS PRINTING IN 8 POINT FONT-- WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT READ IT EITHER...- AND I WAS TIRED-- SO I CALLED HIM BACK AND SAID  I  JUST COULD NOT DO IT- AT WHICH POINT I CHIPPED OFF A FEW PIECES OF MY MIND- AND HE AGREED TO FIX IT.-- I SAW ABSOLUTELY NO REASON HE SHOULD NOT...

  SO THERE ARE ABOUT 6 OF YOU WHO WERE INVOLVED--  THE ONLY PROBLEM SHOUDL BE THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME NUMBERS--  I AM SORRY-MY FAULT.
************
 I SAT IN THE T TENT... AKA OBSERVATION DECK.... WITH CP TINA WHO HAD DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB ORGANIZING THE RETREAT WITH JULIE--   I MADE THE OFFHAND COMMENT THAT   IT WAS A RARE TIME WHEN SOMEONE WAS NOT WANDERING AROUND THE PLACE CARRYING PLYWOOD  -- AT WHICH POINT GINGER STARTED ACROSS THE SAND RING WITH A PIECE OF PLYWOOD BALNACED ON HER HEAD...

IT WAS A PIECE OF RE-ARRAINGEING THE T TENT BEFORE CLUTTER MNAGED TO FILL ALL AVAILABLE SPACE---  IT WAS A HUGE THREAT....ESPECIALLY CARTONS OF POTATO CHIPS 
PRESERVATION OF INTERNAL AREAS NEEDS A MORE ELABORATE SSTUDY...   TO THAT END WE MOVED THE BROKEN FREEZER OUT OF THE BARN, CARVED A FEW VENT HOLES IN IT AND MADE IT A WATERPROOF  CLOSET SERVING THE T TENT-- SO IT IS NOW FULL OF PLASTIC SPOONS AND DESERT BOWLS.-- BUT IT IS OUTSIDE THE SQUARE FOOTGE OF THE T TENT.  ALLOWING US TO MOVVE IN THE 2 NEW COUCHES PEOPLE ADDED OVER THE WEEKEND.

AND THE CP'S DROPPED TEH WHITE CURTIN /WINDBREAKER  SO WE ARE ALL SET FOR MAYBE ANOTHER MONTH  OF OUTSIDE STEWS*
**************

THE GIFT TO SDP FROMTHE CP'S WAS A WEATHERVANE  OF BAILEY-- A THING OF BEAUTY-- REALLY--
SO NOW WE NEED TO GET IT HIGH UP-- PROBABLY ON THE LAUNDRY BUILDING-- WHICH WOULD BE IN VIEW OF TEH CAMERA  AND SOMEHOW THE T TENT WITH IT'S LESS THAN LEVEL ROOF DOESN'T CUT THE MUSTARD.....

A GOOD SHELIA PROJECT--- HER COMPANY SEEMS TO HVE ALL KINDS OF  TRUCKS-- AND I THINK I HEARD REFERENCE TO CHERRY PICKER???
*********************
THERE ARE A FEW CP'S STILL AROUND--- WE ARE GOING TO MISS THIER HELP WHEN THEY GO.

INTERESTING.. AT LEAST TO ME...  ONE YEAR AGO...THE QUESTIONS--  WERE VERY BASIC ( AND SOMETIMES ACCUSATIONAL) CONCERNING THE CARE OF PUPS-- AFTER ONE YEAR -- THE QUESTIONS ARE OF A  MUCH HIGHER LEVEL-- THUS PROVING THE ENTIRE GROUP HAS LEARNED SOMETHING BY WATCHING US.--
THAT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER AS WE SPEND TIME CHASING LARS AND FRIENDS IN MENTAL CIRCLES.
******************

THEN THERE IS JADE-- WHO FELL AND IS HOSPITALIZED-- SO MARIA HAS SAMMY  FOR THE MOMENT..
. I DID GET ONE EMAIL FROM JADE YESTERDAY, PUTTING ME OUTSIDE THE LOOP   JADE SAID THAT LYNNE SAID  THAT MEGAN SAID 
 THERE IS A BASIC COMMUNICATION PROBLEM THERE PROBLEMS ARE CREATED THAT WAY... NOT SOLVED.... 
*************
WILLIAM WANTS TO PUT A BUNCH OF DOGS IN THE APPLE ORCHARD FOR A CALENDAR SHOT...-- I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS-- MAYBE EVEN IN TREESW????  THAT WILL HAPPEN WEDNESDAY-- LIKE TOMORROW-- ONCE AGAIN --- WITHOUT REHEARSALS-- SO WHT ELSE IS NEW??    I CAN NOT ASK BAILEY TO CLIMB ANOTHER TREE--  BUT CHAOS?? LAST TIME WE DID THIS SHE WAS PREGNANT TOO AND SHE WS A GOOD TREE CLIMBER  ESPEDCIALLY IF REASSURED BY EITHER ME OR EARLENE( IF SHE CAN GO)
**********
AND THEN THE NEXT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT... 
I/WE NEED VIDEOS OF VETERANS AND THEIR DOGS TO SEND TO CHARLIE - AND I NEED IT NOW... COURTNEY ASKED BEFORE -- AND I WAS TOLD - WE HAD ONE-- MEGAN TOOK SOMETHING OF SOMEONE- WE HAVE THE NARATIVES--  SOMETHING GOT SENT TO COURTNEY/CHARLIE-- I DO NOT KNOW WHAT- SO IT IS VERY UPSETTING  TO HAVE ANNE KEEP TELLING ME WE ARE BEHIND.

MOST NOTABLY  CRIMSON AND BRIAN--- IN LOUISVILLE KY...  I HAVE NOT HEARD ONE THING SINCE WE DONATED THAT DOG TO HIM.. 
AND THEN THERE IS CHARLIE AND STEVE-- ANOTEHER PERFECTLY GOOD STORY WE NEED T PULL TOGETHER...

AGAIN BASICALLY MY FAULT FOR NOT FOLLOWING THRU WITH  THE PEOPLE  ON OUR STAFF WHO DO FACEBOOK AND CAMERA THINGS.
****************

AND I HAD A NOTICE FROM THE STATE OF MASS-- WE ARE BEHIND IN SUBMITTING OUR YEARLY REPORT-- AND THEY ARE ANNOYED-- THERE IS NO  $$ PENALTY FOR BEING LATE  BUT WE NEED TO RESPOND- OR WE COULD BE IN TROUBLE WITH OUR CHARITY STATUS....
  THE YEAR IN QUESTION????  2013...  

ANYBODY GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT I SHOULD TELL THEM?
*****************
ONCE AGAIN-- THE WIERD AND WONDERFUL....
WHY ANYONE WOULD SEND ME GRASS SEED IN OCTOBER  IN  A CARTON WITH DOG TOYS AN TREATS, I DO NO T KNOW.... EXCEPT---- THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT HAPPENS....

 AFTER SUNDAY'S RAIN AND SLIDING THE CARS AROUND THE FLAT FIELD, PAUL ASKED IF WE HAD ANY GRASS SEED...  BINGO.... A CAMERA PERSON HAD ANTICIPATED THE NEED -- AND WE HAD SOME...

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME... 
VERY STRANGE..
DON'T STOP....
