THE PUPS ARE FINE.. FROM LETHARGIC TO FULL OF IT IN 12 H OURS
IT IS VERY NERVE WRACKING THAT IS FOR SURE-- WHEN WE HAVE 11 WHO COULD DO THE SAME THING AND GET VERY SICK-- I HAD A LITTER WITH PARVO ONCE-- WHAT A MESS--- THAT IS WHY THERE IS A HOOK IN THE MIDDLE OF TH E KITCHEN,.,.. I WAS DRIPPING FLUIDS INTO ONE PUP OR ANOTHER FOR ABOUT 72 HOURS-- BUT THEY ALL MADE IT.
I HONESTLY DO NOT THINK I COULD GO THRU THAT AGAIN ALL BY MYSELF-- I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH....BUT I SURE COULD SUPERVISE SOMEONE ELSE...
*************
THE THING I NOTED BIG TIME--- AND IN A EFFORT TO EDUCATE....MOST CAMERA PEOPLE KIND OF HUNG IN THERE- AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT- MAYBE MADE A FEW EMAIL SUGGESTIONS--- AND PRAYED...
THEN THERE WAS A SMALL GROUP WHO NEEDED TO BLAME SOMEONE.
THOSE WERE THE EMAILS THAT BOTHERED ME.
IT IS A BALANCING ACT--- YOU CAN NOT RAISE ANIMALS ( OR KIDS) IN STERILE CONDITIONS.
GRANTED IT CERTAINLY IS A VALID STUDY TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHY... I HOPE BETWEEN THE 2 VETS AND THE REST OF US, WE ARE AWARE OF SOME OF THE POSSIBLE CAUSES.... AND SOME PROBABLY CAUSES... PLUS SOME UNUSUAL CAUSES THAT ARE ONE TIMERS YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY ANTICIPATE ( HE SWALLOWED THE TIP OF MY SHOE LACE)
ON TOP OF THAT I GET THE CREATIVE ONES
"I KNOW IT WAS YOUR FAULT"- WHICH IF THERE IS SOMEONE AT FAULT, IT IS ULTIMATELY ME... THESE EMAILS CAN GET VERY DAMNING--- "IF ONLY YOU HAD NOT..."
MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME IS THE "YOU HAD A STILLBORN PUP BECAUSE YOU WERE USING YOUR CELL PHONE TOO NEAR THE BIRTH AREA"... WHICH GOT ANSWERED BY ANOTHER PERSON " THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WASH IT FIRST".
THESE PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE AT WHOM THEY CAN DIRECT THEIR ANGER... AND BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA 24/7, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS ME.
FORTUNATELY I HAVE SUCH A POOR MEMORY THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER MUCH OF ANYTHING.
AND ... I DO GET A CHUCKLE OUT OF SOME... LIKE.." THE SECRET ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE THAT THEY FOUND JIMMY HOFFA'S BODY IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM"
I CERTAINLY DO WANT INPUT--THE PHONE CALL "THERE ARE PUPS LICKING UP SOME FLUID FROM A YELLOW BOTLE INTHE ARENA" ....RIGHT ... HANG UP AND GO ( IT WAS THE HORSE'S CORN OIL)
WHAT I DON'T NEED ARE THE " I THINK YOU SHOULD PUT A HIGHER FENCE AROUND THE PUPS"
I HAVE AN INSTINCT TO EXPLAIN --- I DON'T WANT MOM DRAGGING HER MILK DEPArtment over A HIGHER FENCE TIL SHE IS READY TO CLEAR IT.
THIS KIND OF THING IS TAKING TOO MUCH OF MY TIME-- SO -- PLEASE SEND ME THOSE ON POO PICKER CARDS AND I CAN EXPLAIN QUICKER AT MAIL CALL...
*************
AND TODAY
I AM TOLD 40 PEOPLE FROM GE WILL BE HERE TO CONTRUBUTE THEIR SERVICES-- TODAY I HOPE THEY WORK ON REPLACING THE SPLIT RAILS.... AND BEFORE ANYONE EXPLAINS HOW TO DO THAT, LET ME TELL YOU NOTHING WORKS ALL THE TIME--- THE RAILS ARE 11 FEET LONG AND THE POSTS 10'6" WITH TAPERED ENDS YOU JUST SLIDE THEM IN ... RIGHT?? IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, I HAVE A BRIDGE IN BROOKLYN TO SELL YOU.
AND MARK SAID HE WOULD BE HERE TO COOK LUNCH.
JACK SAID HE WOULD HELP SAW THE RAILS INTO SUBNMISSION
THE FRONT OF THE SHACK IS DONE AND NEEDS ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE WE CAN LIFT IT INTO PLACE-- BUT THE SAW IS ELECTRIC AND IT IS RAINING... SO I WILL WAIT...
OTHER THAN THAT....
