WE HAVE HAD ANOTHER "HAPPENING" ACTUALLY 2 OF THEM YESTERDAY...
FOR NEWCOMMERS--- AROUND HERE WIERD THINGS HAPPEN--
IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE SNEAKER CAPER THAT I BEGAN TO PAY ATTENTION
THE SNEAKER BIT--- I SAT AT MY DESK ONE MORNING MOANING ABOUT THE FACT THAT I NO LONGER HAD EVEN ONE RIGHTT AND ONE LEFT SNEAKER TO WEAR-- THE PUPPIES HAD CHEWED THE HEEL TOTALLY OFF MY LAST LEFT ONE.
BLUE GWEN IMMEDIATELY APPEARED AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS WITH A BRAND NEW- INTHE BOX PAIR OF SNEAKERS--MY SIZE- -AND KEY TO THIS STORY-- NOT THE BRAND I HAVE BOUGHT FOR YEARS --(-AT AN OUTLET -4 PAIR AT ONCE- ALL THE SAME BRAND. )THESE BOXED NEW SNEAKERS WERE NOT THAT BRAND...THEY FIT PERFECTLY - PROBLEM SOLVED BY SOMEONE/SOMETHING -- NOT ME.
I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE TO START REMEMBERING THESE THINGS..THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 DOZEN-- ANOTHER SAMPLE--- SITTING AT MAIL CALL--JUST TALKING - OPENING PACKAGES, I SAID "WE REALLY NEED A FEEDING FRY PAN TO FEED THE DONKEYS WITHOUT ANYONE GETTING BITTEN" -- AND THE NEXT PACKAGE HAD 2 PERFECT 9" PURPLE FRY PANS. PROBABILITY THERE IS HORRENDOUS.
THERE ARE MANY OF THESE..
YESTERDAY - START MAILCALL AND WE HAD 2 SPOONS BUT ONLY ONE CAN OF FOOD- WHICH WOULD H HAVE TO BE BAILEY'S FOR GETTING THE BASKET-- THE REST OF THE HOUSE DOGS WOULD HAVE TO SKIP THIS SNACK TIME.. I TURNED TO LINE UP AND THERE AT MY FEET WAS A CARTON OBVIOUSLY CONTAINING A CASE OF CANNED FOOD. PROBABILITY THERE IS NOT THAT SPECTACULAR... OK
TRY THIS ONE------I HAVE NOT USED A HOT WATER BOTTLE FOR YEARS UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WITH THE STIFF NECK... AND IT HAS BEEN KICKING AROUND -- FULL--SINCE THEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO EMPTY AND STORE IT- LAST NIGHT I TOOK ON THAT CHORE AND GOT IT INTO THE BATHROOM- EMPTED IT INTO THE SINK AND HUNG IT ON THE CUP HOOK WHICH HOLDS ONLY MY TINGERTIP TOWEL-- FOR YEARS- I UN HOOKED THE TOWEL AND HOOKED UP THE HOT WATER BOTTLE TO DRIP AN D STOOD WITHTHE TOP IN MY HAND-- TH E HOLE INTHE TOP WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE CUP HOOK I NEEDED A SMALL "S" HOOK ===== I KNEW IF I JUST PUT IT ON THE SINK IT WOULD ROLL OFF INTO THE SCRAPBASKET LEAVING ME WITH AN UNCAPPABLE HOT WATER BOTTLE WHICH I WOULD NOT THROW OUT- AS I WENT TO REPLACE THE TOWEL I FELT AN ODD METAL OBJECT IN THE CORNER I WAS TRYING TO ATTACH TO THE CUP HOOK.. AND IT WAS A PRE-BENT PAPERCLIP - PERFECT FOR HANGING THE TOP.
RIGHT !! I HAVE USED THAT HOOK FOR YEARS-- CHANGING THAT TOWEL OFTEN--- THE TOWELS GO THRU THE WASHER/DRYER - EVEN IF THE PAPERCLIP GOT ATTACHED FROM DESK TO WASHER--- IN THAT PROCESS HOW DID IT GET BENT IN THE CORRECT SHAPE FOR THIS JOB.. AND BE IN THE CORNER I NEEDED TO ATTACH
WHICH WAS ALSO THE CORNER I HAD UNATTACHED FROM THE HOOK JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE.
CHEW ON THAT ONE.

FYI ROGUE IS AN EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT FOR ANNE WHO WAS WITH MELISSA FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS AS DEAF/BALANCE...
Hi carlene !
Rogue is doing great! She comes to all my doctor appts and is very good. She impresses everyone! Rogue is doing better with other dogs and we are communicating better together! She loves to help. She knows when I'm having bad days and is always there for me. She does not like water and that is a quirk we just need to work around. She is an amazing partner! I have ganglion cysts on the top on my feet that hurt and somehow she knows and comes and licks those exact places. She is just amazing at the things she just knows. At night she makes sure I am all the way up the stairs and then she will leave my side. Thank you so much for rogue. thanks to all the wonderful staff and volunteers... they all work hard and the dogs are amazing!
