• MY MEMORY -- OR LACK THEROF- IS HISTORIC--- BUT FIRST ON THE LIST  TODAY IS TO FIGURE OUT  THE FOUNDATION THAT SENT US THE CHECK- YESTERDAY-  IT WAS CALIFORNIA-  
  
   
  SECOND THRU 237th ON THE LIST ISS ACCREDITATION-- JANINE IS ON IT.-- SHE HAS ASKED FOR THE NAMES OF VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE MEDICAL CERTIFICATION.. I KNOW WE HAVE ALOT OF RN's  AND  AN EMT OR TWO..  COULD YOU SEND ME YOUR FULL NAMES FOR HER LIST?  THERE IS ALSO BONNIE-- WHO IS A VETERNARIAN... WE SHOULD ADD HER TOO...
  
   
  MY PROBLEM-- PER USUAL-- IS TO CELL PHONE 911 AND GET THE AMBULANCE HERE  WOULD BE ABOUT AS QUICK AS TRYING TO LOCATE A RESIDENT MD/RN/EMT ON THE PROPERTY-- THE AMBU  STATION IS 2 MILES DOWN LINEBROOK RD --BY THE CUMBERLAND
  
   
  BUT I DO THINK WE SHOULD ALL KNOW THE  CHOKING BIT-- ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM...
  *****
  BACK TO REPRODUCTION....
  THE HENS ARE LAYING MORE EGGS NOW-- IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE YOUNG CHICKS WHO ARE FINALLY OLD ENOUGH TO LAY-- OTHERWISE THEY ARE OUT OF WHACK- BECAUSE CHICKENS LAY FEWER EGS AS THE  DAYLIGHT GETS SHORTER--  THAT IS WHY  PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT EGG PRODUCTION LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT..
  THERE IS YOUR  FARMER'S EDUCATION FOR THE DAY.
  
   
  NOW---  MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CANINE REPRODUCTION PROJECT.... I DID NOT THINK MARIAH WAS PREGNAQNT- AND NEITHER DOES GEORGE - WITH HIS ULTRAQSOUND... LACKING THE NORMAL "TIE"  WE WERE FORCED TO IMPROVISE  VERY QUICKLY----ASIDE FROM ALL OUR UNUSUAL ACTIVITIES ABOUT KEEPING THE STUFF WARM IN KATI'S ARMPITS, I WAS CONCERNED THAT IT WAS CLEAR... 
   I KNOW THE LAST PART- THAT COUNTS ---IS SUPPOSED TO BE MILKY...... IT COULD HAVE BEEN- BUT IT DID NOT LOOK THAT WAY TO ME- AND I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO STUDY IT UNDER A MICROSCOPE FOR "SWIMMERS" .  SO THE REASON MARIAH IS NOT PREGNANT IS  UNKNOWN...- MAYBE THERE WAS SOME LEFT OVER BALONEY SANDWICH LEFT IN THE SANDWICH BOX  WE WERE USING FOR COLLECTION... WHO KNOWS... WE HAD TO IMPROVIZSE...
  AT ANY RATE.....
  
   
  SCARLOTT IS IN HEAT.   JUST STARTED YESTERDAY-- SO IN ABOUT A WEEK WE CAN  HAVE  BENTLYE EARN HIS KEEP. IF SUCCESSFUL--- MID MARCH??
   NOW BEFORE ANYONE MENTIONS THE FRECKLEBUT SISTERS AND  THE CHANCE OF ANOTHER WHITE PUP..... IF WE GET EVEN ONE MORE GEORGE, OR  LARZ,-- A WHITE OR TWO PET DOGS WOULD BE WORTH IT.
  
   
  LYNN DOWNING AND ANN NADEAU AR E SUPPOSED TO KEEP TRACK OF PEOPLE WANTING FABULOUS FAILURES.... AND WHITE DOGS...  
  
   
  BUT THE NEXT IMPENDING BIRTH -- END OF JAN---IS BRIANNA IN THE NETHERLANDS-  IDEALLY I WOULD LIKE A M,ALE AND FEMALE PUP THERE-- BUT THEY WOULD NOT BE READY FFOR TWAN TO BRING OVER FOR 12 WEEKS ( END OF APRIL) 
  
   
  NOW IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BET...... MEGAN IS EXPECTING NOEL TO COME IN HEAT MOMENTARILY..AND BENTLYE AND SHE PRODUCED SOME VERY NICE PUPS ( MORIAH IS ONE) BUT MAYBE FOR A SLIGHT VARIETY WE SHOLD TRY WITH BENTLEY'S BROTHER YELLOW  WHO IS A WONDERFUL DOG  ALSO... HE IS NOT AS EFFICIENT AT THE JOB AS BENTLEY  BUT MAYBE  WE SHOULD "GIVE HIM A CHANCE?"
  
   
  KIARA- WHO IS NOT RELATED TO BRIANNA- SHOULD HAVE A PHYSICAL THIS NEXT WEEK- WHEN GEORGE(DVM-- NOT THE DOG GEORGE) IS AVAILABLE..
  SINCE HE IS ON  HIS NEW SCHEDULE OF LETTING OTHERS DO  MOST THE WORK... I WOULD LIKE TO GO WHEN HE IS THERE.... WITH HIM I AM PAYING FOR NOT ONLY HIS EDUCATION ... BUT EXPERIENCE--  
  
   KIARA'S TINKLE IS  OFTEN  AND NOT YELLOW..  COULD BE NO PROBLEM-- BUT WE NEED TO KNOW.
  ********** 
  I AM A LITTLE  CONCERNED-- ANNE (DENMARK ANNE) SAID  SHE HEARD FROM COURTNEY THAT WE SHOULD HEAR FROM EXPLORE BY THE END OF THE YEAR-- BASICALLY ABOUT OUR FUTURE---- I DID NOT EXPECT TO HEAR YET-- I THINK THE "END OF GRANT" IS MARCH  2015.   THAT WILL MAKE FOR A  VERY NERVOUS ME FOR  THE FIRST PART OF 2015.... BUT  I WILL STAY NEAR A PHONE/COMPUTER FOR TEH NEXT 2 DAYS IN CASE.
  ***** 
  THE IMMINENT SELL OUT OF THE CHICKEN BRICKS IS A HUGE RELIEF-- WITHOUT THAT I WOULD NOT DARE TO PLAN MORE PUPS...
  ****************
   WE HAVE HAD ALOT OF WIERD REQUESTS IN OUR EXISTANCE-  THE LATEST... A CP-- FOR A VERY ODD BUNCH OF REASONS -- NEEDS 3 PIZZA BOXES FROM NEW ENGLAND.
   
  SO THAT IS ON MEGANS LIST FOR THE DAY.
  *******
  AND I.... WILL DIDDLE WITH THE ACCREDITATION STUFF.. AND HOPE FOR A PHONE CALL????-- NOBODY ELSE CALL ON THE 0666 LINE  OR I WILL HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

  Hello Carlene!!
  We hope all is well at SDP this winter. Harry and I are doing well. Thank goodness he loves the car so it makes trips up and down the coast as painless as possible. Harry has been a saint dealing with travel between our two homes. We have missed the farm and can not wait to visit soon. Harry could use some big friends to run around with and play with. We look forward to meeting the new people that visit sdp and can not wait to see our friends there!!!  We wish you all a happy new year and all the best in 2015!! -
