*********
FOR ANY OF YOU CROSSING THE HUDSON, AND ALOT OF PEOPLE COMING HERE DO JUST THAT..... DO NOT BELIEVE THE GPA'S WHICH TAKE YOU ACROSS THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE ON RT 95 AND LAND YOU IN NYC---- I SUGGEST THE RT 84 BRIDGE AT NEWBURGH IS A GOOD CHOICE--- NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT AVOIDS THE RT 95 GENERIC MESS, BUT THERE IS A VERY GOOD DINER ON THE NEWBURGH SIDE-- LAST EXIT BEFORE THE BRIDGE.. THEY EVEN HAVE BEEF STROGONOFF ON FRIDAYS.... FYI...
*****
I NEED TO PUT SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF OFFICIAL PAPERS I AM SUPPOSED TO FILE-- AND WHEN... LIKE THAT &*^%&* 990FU. IT COULD CERTAINLY BE KEPT TRACK OF OFF SITE.. THERE ARE CORPORATE PAPERS IN MASS....THERE IS SOMETHING WITH THE ATTY GENERALS'S OFFICE... AND A RAFFLE PERMIT- THO I DO NOT THINK WE NEED ONE OF THOSE, I USED TO GET ONE ANYWAY. ALONG WITH CAR REG.. BUSINESS PERMIT WITH THE TOWN???...
ANY VOLUNTEERS TO KEEP US GOING STRAIGHT??? A COUPLE OF YOU TOGETHER?? THERE IS ALOT OF READING TO DO- TO SEE WHAT IS NECESSARY.

ARIOT HAS A SORE FRONT LEG--- POSSIBLY LYME-- GETTING DOXY
****
NOW FOR THE SOCIAL ISSUES.
OPAL--- AKA CURVY---SPENT QUALITY TIME WITH MORIAH WHOM SHE ATTACKED TWICE ON SUNDAY-- ALSO IN ATTENDANCE WAS CAW- WITH THE WHIFFLE BAT. ALL WAS PEACEFUL
UN SPAYED FEMALE DOGS --- AKA B#TCHES-- ARE WELL NAMED.
AND MORIAH IS A GREAT DOG...
I MUST WORK ON HER...
REMEMBER THERE WERE 3 IN THAT LITTER... MEGAN HAS MAGNUS. , MARIA HAS MURPHY, AND I KEPT MORIAH-- WE WERE GOING TO EXPERIMENT WITH TRAINING METHODS AND SEE WHO'S DOG TURNED OUT BEST...ALL OF A SUDDEN I REALIZED NONE OF US WOULD WIN ANY PRIZE LET ALONE PASS THE ADI PUBLIC ACCESS TEST..
*****
TRAINING.... I NEED TO GET SOME SOUND EQUIPMENT HERE
MELISSA CAN NEVER REPLACE ANNIE=-- BUT SHE IS NEEDING TO MOVE ON...AND TRAINING FOR THE DEAF PERSON IS NOT IN OUR USUAL ROUTINE.. WHAT I DO-- OR DID--- IS TO TRY AND TEACH THE DOG TO RESPOND TO A REPETITIVE NOISE.. I NEED TO SIT AT MY DESK AND BE ABLE TO PUSH A BUTTON AND MAKE A BELL RING .. I START WITH
1.RING THE BELL AND CALL THE DOG AND FEED SUPER TREATS-- LIKE GREASY HAMBERGER-- SOMETHING REALLY GOOD...
2. RING THE BELL AND HAVE THE DOG COME WITHOUT BEING CALLED
3. MOVE THE BELL A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY
4. MOVE THE TREATS TO WHERE TH E BELL IS AND HOPEFLLY THE DOG WILL COME TO YOU WITH A "COME GET THOSE TREATS DOWN OFF THE SHELF FOR ME."
MOVE FROM STEP TO STEP SLOWLY-- AND IF YOU GET TO #4 YOU ARE HALF WAY HOME..
PERFECTION IS -- WHEN THERE IS A REPTATIVE NOISE ( WHICH WILL ADVANCE TO AN UNUSUAL NOISE) ---THE DOG HAS TO COME TOUCH ME THEN GO TO THE NOISE SOURCE. ...
****
99 PERCENT OF YOU HAVE TAUGHT YOUR DOGS TO DO JUST THAT ALREADY-- WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR -- YOUR DOG BARKS AN D THEN RUNS AD GETS YOU TO HURRY UP AND OPEN THE DOOR SO THEY CAN REALLY BARK AT WHOEVER IS THERE...
ALONG THOSE LINES... WHY DO POSTMEN GET BITTEN? THE POSTMAN COMES TO THE DOOR, LEAVES THE MAIL AND GOES ON TO THE NEXT HOUSE..
FROM TH E DOG'S STANDPOINT... "HERE COMES THAT GUY AND I HAVE TO CHASE HIM AWAY" SO THE DOG BARKS AND THE GUY LEAVES... AND EVERY TIME THE DOG GETS MORE BOLD...
HAVING A VACUUM CLEANER GO FORWARD AND BACK SOMETIMES PRODUCES THE SAME CONCEPT-- BITE IT AND IT MOVES BACK.

BUSY DAY AHEAD-- AND A HOT ONE I AM TOLD...
