ZEROS KEEP GETTING ADDED TO MY EXPECTATIONS---
LONG AGO-- VERY LONG AGO 20 CENTS WAS ALOT--- IT BOUGHT A PACK OF CIGARETTES FROM A VENDING MACHINE ( FOR OLDER MY SISTER) AND THAT PACK HAD 2 PENNIES INSIDE THE WRAPPING WHICH I WOULD RUN OFF WITH
THEN IN COLLEGE IF YOU HAD $2.00 YOU WERE WEALTHY.. IT WOULD DO 2 WEEKS LAUNDRY IN THE 25 CENT MACHINES.
THEN WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG THE ATM MACHINES MADE $20.00 THE CURRENCY OF THE DAY... AND YOUNG CHILDREN OFTEN HAD A $20 BILL FROM JUST SUCH MACHINES.
.AS THEY WENT TO COLLEGE, I REMEMBER A REQUEST FOR $200.00 FOR THINGS LIKE A BUNCH OF BOOKS,
THEY GRADUATE AND TALK ABOUT MORTGAGES IN THE $2000.00 RANGE.
AND HERE WE ARE WITH RUNNING THIS PLACE WHERE ANOTHER ZERO HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY FRAME OF REFERENCE...DRY WELLS -- TRACTORS-- VET BILLS--- FEED.
AND I STILL REMEMBER TAKING THOSE 2 PENNIES FROM HER CIGGIE PACKS.
*****************
THERE WAS A COMMENT FROM A VET IN UTAH... NEEDING A DOG... I WISH WE COULD HELP EVERYONE-- BUT WE CAN NOT. SO I ANSWERED HIM WITH THIS..
****
HMMMMMMM.. YOU CERTAINLY HAVE A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS... THE WORST AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED IS UTAH...THE ONLY SOLUTION I CAN THINK OF IS TO FIND SOME FRIEND WHO HAS A WELL TRAINED DOG-- (THAT PREFERABLY THEY TRAINED THEMSELVES)-- AND WITH THEM GET IN TOUCH WITH SOME DANE RESCUE GROUP AND TRY AND FIND A DANE 2 OR 3 YEARS OLD-- OVER THE PUPPY STAGE...80% OF WHAT WE "TEACH " A DANE , THEY DO INSTINCTIVELY... SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T NEED THE FANCY TRAINING WE DO FOR THINGS LIKE AIRLINE TRAVEL--- AS LONG AS IT IS WELL BEHAVED, TELL EVERYONE IT IS A SERVICE DOG- AND BEING A VET THEY WOULD PROBABLY NOT ARGUE WITH YOU.. IF THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM I WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO TELL YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO OF THE DOG DOING THE ADI PUBLIC ACCESS TEST. AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO TO BATTLE FOR YOU...
IT CERTAINLY IS BETTER THAN NOTHING...
IF HE CAN FIND A DOG,---THANKS TO THE FUN FUND. ---WE COULD EVEN SHIP MEGAN OUT TO UTAH TO RUN THE ADI TEST ... BUT WE ONLY HAVE A BUNCH OF GOOFY YOUNGER DOGS RIGHT NOW THAT IF WE PAIR THEM NOW, WE NEED TO KEEP LOCAL

MEGAN IS VERY PORTABLE-- SHE LOVES TO FLY....

PUPS ARE OUT OF THE HOUSE-- SO CAMERA ACTION WILL BE THE ARENA PUPPY HILL AND ROOM.
WE ARE TESTING THE SHAPES OF THE "STALLS" ON THE ARENA CAM-- SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE 4 X 12' KENNELS WITH A 4X4 "SLEEPING LOFT" AND A DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE.4 X 8 .THE INSIDE WILL BE IN THE HEATED AND A/C AREA..
AND SO IT GOES....
