YESTERDAY THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ON LINE ABOUT THE KIDS ON PUPPY HILL. AND CLOUD MADE A VIDEO --WHICH I WATCHED -- AND WROTE...
THANK YOU FOR THE OBSERVATONS- AND I WATCHED IT-- I CAN SEE WHERE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT INTERPRET THE MOTIONS DIFFERENTLY.. AND THE CAMERA ANGLE CAN DISTORT SOMETIMES...
COUPLE THINGS...
MOST OF THE TIME I WAS NEAR THE TEEPEE ON MY GOLF CART-- SO I WAS AWARE -
THE MOTHER WAS THERE- OFF CAMERA-- ACTUALLY SITTING BENEATH THE CAMERA MOST OF THE TIME... SHE HAD ANOTHER CHILD WITH HER.
THEY ARE A GREAT DANE FAMILY--- THEY JUST LOST THEIR DANE LAST MONTH-- SO THE KIDS WERE USED TO DANES.
I SAW THE MOUTHING WHICH SOMEONE THOUGHT WAS YELPING OR BITING... THAT LOOKED TO ME THE NORMAL MOUTHING... ESPECIALLY WHEN TH E PUP JUST STAYED THERE WITH THE KID FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFRE GETTING BACK IN THE SHADE OF THE FIRETRUCK.. THAT INDICATED TO ME THE PUP WAS NOT THE SLIGHTEST UPSET.
IF I WAS THERE AND WANTED THAT PUP OUT FROM UNDER, I WOULD HAVE PULLED THOSE LEGS JUST LIKE THAT. WHEN THEY OBJECT IT IS USUALLY THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE YOU MESSING WITH THEIR FEET-- OR SQUEEZING THEM IN ANY WAY..WHICH WOULD BE THE CASE IN PULLING ON THEM.
I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE CHURCH GROUP THAT CAME THRU--- ONE OF THEM STARTED TO PICK UP A PUP BY THE FRONT LEGS WITH THE BODY DANGLING AT RIGHT ANGLE...--
THAT IS THE BIG NO...
ON TO THE NEXT
****
ANOTHER CAMERA PERSON WROTE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE THROWING THE MILKBONES IN THE KENNELS INSTEAD OF HANDING THEM TO THE DOG . TOSSING TREATS AT DOGS IN NOT POLITE NOR IS IT ACCEPTABLE.
******
FARMTEK HAS SHIPPED THE MATERIALS FOR THE MEAT SHACK WALLS-- AND THE KENNEL DIVIDERS-- SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET BACK IN MOTION GETTING STUFF DONE...
ALSO THEY ARE DONATING 50% OF IT WHICH IS WONDERFUL..
I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH ANYTHING TO DO WITH FARMTEK-- THEY HAVE SOME THINGS NOT EASILY FOUND ELSEWHERE. OR CERTAINLY FOR AN AWFUL LOT MORE MONEY ELSEWHERE-----.. LIKE SHADE MATERIAL-- OR POLYMAX WASHABLE WALLS--AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES-- THEIR CLOSEOUT SECTION WITH THAT VINYL STRIPS THEY USE AS REFRIGERATION DOORS IN SUPERMARKETS-- THOSE MAKE GREAT DOGGIE DOORS.. AND THE ODD ENDS ARE VERY CHEAP...
*********
BIGGEST NEWS OF THE DAY... HOPEFULLY SHEILA HAS RETURNED FROM THE WILDS OF FLORIDA.. WELL I KNOW SHE GOT AS FAR AS THE MASS BORDER BEFORE I WENT TO BED...
SHE ALSO REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A ZIP TYE HOLDING THEM TOGETHER SINCE CONNECTICUT.
HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE AROUND TODAY.. AND NONE TOO SOON...

CATHY DID AN AMAZING JOB GETTING THE HAYLOFT READY FOR GRACE'S ROOM ( AND STORAGE) SHE WORKED SO HARD AND SO HOT THAT TODAY I HAVE FOUND A MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE CHORE.... TURNING OVER THE MANURE ( COMPOST) PILE -- SHE CAN PLAY WWITH THE TRACTOR WHICH IS AIR CONDITIONED... SHOULD BE FUN.
WAYNE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO HELP US WITH THE HAYLOFT PROJECT.. HE SAID AFTER IRAQ THE HEAT WILL BE NOTHING....
AND THE KENNELS ARE UP FOR OBSERVATION PURPOSES... GOT TO STAND AROUND AND LOOK THEM OVER TO SEE IF WE WANT ANY CHANGES... THAT CHAIN LINK IS LOVELY-- YOU JUST KEE TING IT TOGETHER WITH HAY STRING TIL YOU LIKE THE PATTERN-- THEN PUT ON THE CLAMPS EASILY.
WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT HAY STRINGS???, NOW IF I COULD ONLY MAKE REAL HORSEMAN OUT OF THIS BUNCH...
WHEN YOU CUT THE HAYSTRINGS TO FEED OUT THE BALE, YOU SHOULD CUT NEXT TO THE KNOT... OTHERWISE-- WHATEVER YOU TRY AND USE IT FOR , THE KNOT IS ALWAYS IN THE WAY-- AND YOU WILL BE USING IT FOR PLENTY OF THINGS.
I THINK HOME DEPOT IS OPEN AT 6AM-- I NEED TO GET SOME STUFF FOR THE HAYOFT PROJECT.
I DID SEE A SIGN AT HOME DEPOT --- NO LOITERING--- I THINK THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS WHERE YOU CAN GO PICK UP DAY HELP AT 6AM WITHOUT GOING THRU THE USUAL EMPLOYMENT CHANNELS.
