I AM NOT HAVING MUCH HOPE FOR OPAL AND WALTER-- BOTH SEEM BORED WITH THE PROJECT SO EITHER THEY HAD A VERY QUICK TRYST OR THEY HAVE GIVEN UP[-- BUT MEGAN HAD TEHM TOGETHER IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM ALL YESTERDAY AND BOTH WERE ONLY SEEN TO BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCHES....
THIS IS ANOTHER LESSON FOR YOU NEWCOMMERS.. "BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN GANG AFT ASUNDER" ( OR MAYBE THAT'S ASS -UNDER )
THIS IS WHY IT IS ANIMAL MANAGEMENT -- AND NOT ANIMAL PLANNING.. YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE PLANS YOU WANT BUT.....ALL WE CAN DO IS MANAGE WHATEVER HAPPENS.. WITH ALL PROBABILITY... THE NEXT PUPS WILL BE FROM THE LITTER IN THE NETHERLANDS... THEN SCARLOTT WHO SHOULD BE BRED... I THINK OPAL IS A LOST CAUSE.. THAT BEING THE CASE THEN NOEL SHOULD BE BRED TO WALTER TO GIVE US PUPS WHO COULD BE BRED TO BENTLEY - ASSUMING HE WILL STILL BE "WORKING". REMEMBER THAT TOO CAN CHANGE... BOBBY HAD A RAPIDLY MOVING TESTICULAR PROBLEM THAT ELIMINATED HIM WITHIN ABOUT A MONTH.---
**********
NOW ON THE TOPIC OF THE PUPPY HILL CAMERA... TEH SMELLY TRANSFORMER WAS REPLACDE BY A VER FANCY THING WHICH BUD SAID WAS TEH SAME THING-- EXCEPT IT HAD FUSE PROTECTION.. SO HE P-LUDGGED IT IN AND BLEW A FUSE IMMEDIATELY-- TIM MUST HAVE THOUGTH THAT WOULD HAPPEN BECDAUSE HE SENT 3 MORE FUSES-- SOOOOO.... BUD UNPLUGGED TEH PH CAMERA AND BLEW ANOTEHR FUSE--- SO HE UNPLUGGED THE WIRE THAT RUNS THRU A CONDUIT PIPE UNDER THE GATE TO THE CAMERA...AND IT DID NOT BLOW...
IF I WAS A BETTING WOMAN I WOULD BET MICE...
***
WHATEVER THE CAUSE-- SOMEHOW WE NEED TO PULL THAT WIRE-- WHILE PULLING IN ANOTHER?? BUD SAID HE WOULD BE HERE FOR A FEW MINUTES TODAY--( HE IS ABOUT TO GO SKIMOBILING IN UPPER VERMONT) ANBD JOYCE SAID SHE WOULD STOP BY TO THINK ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON HER WAY TO AND FROM BOSTON-- SH EWORKS FOR A COMPANY THAT USES WORDS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND-- PULLING WIRES UNDERGROUND MAY BE NEW TO HER-- UNDERGROUND PIPES IS MORE MY TYPE JOB---BUT IF WE GET THEM LANDED SHE MIGHT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.
I DID THAT BIT ONCE BEFORE WITH 8 TEENY TINY WIRES AND A OVERSIZED PHONE PLUG THING... BETWEEN SHAKEY HANDS AND FAILING EYESIGHT, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY AROUND TO FEED THE SWEAR BEAR FOR ME TO ATTEMPT IT.. BESIDES... ISN'T ONE OF OUR DOGS WITH A "VERIZON MAN"? WHO HAS THE CRIMPING TOOL NEEDED TO PUT AN END TO A WIRE LIKE THAT.
BEFORE I ADDRESS THE WIRE PULLING I NEED TO GO FIND MORE FUSES IN THE CONTRACTOR'S ELECTRICAL STORE...I HAVE THE BLOWN FUSE TAPED TO A CARDBOARD... THEY LOVE ME THERE... THE LITTLE OLD LADY WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE NEEDS BUT NEVER KNOWS THE NAME OF IT.-- AND WHO HAS A REALLLLLLY BIG DOG WHO KEEPS EVERYONE SERIOUS.
SO THAT IS TODAY
ALONG WITH JESSE-- WHO SHOULD ARRIVE BEFORE NOON...A VETERAN APPLICANT WHO HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR A LONG TIME- AND WE NEED TO LOOK HIM OVER AGAIN AND SEE WHO MIGHT BE IN OUR "STABLE" OF DOG CHARACTERS.
AND... BIG EXCITEMETN-- THE CRANEY COMPANY HAS LANDED WITH THE INTENTION OF INSTALLING THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM IN THE TRAINNING ROOM..
HE CALLED ME OVER TO SEE WHAT THE PLANS WERE FOR WHAT WENT WHERE.. PLANS???? I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHO WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WENT WHERE-- HE WAS RELIEVED TO HAVE ME SAY GET THEM WORKING ANYWAY THAT IS EASIEST -- THE ONLY COMMENT I HAD WAS-- DON'T HOOK THE UPSTAIRS SHOWER TO THE PLUMBING OF THE DOWNSTAIRS SHOWER- BECAUSE WE SEEM TO HAVE DISCONNECTED THE DOWNSTAIRS SHOWER WITH ANYTHING THAT WOUEL RESEMBLE EVEN A DRYWELL ..
I WONDER IF NOW IS THE TIME TO GET THAT SHOWER HOOKED UP TOO... IT WOULD BE A PERFECT PLACE TO SHAMPOO DOGS IN THE WINTER... I THINK WE ALREADY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITH WATER SHOOTING OUT OF THE WALL WHEN WE TURNED IT ON..... IT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO CREATIVE PLUMBING...
30 YEARS AGO WHEN WE BUILT THIS HOUSE, THE ELECTRITIAN GUY WAS A DRINKER SO WE HAVE SWITCHES INTHE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM THAT CONTROL TH E OUTSIDE FLOODLIGHTS--- AND HE HOOKED 220 TO THE 110 CIRCUIT AND WE BLEW UP A DISHWASHER AND BLAMED THE DISHWASHER UNTIL WE BLEW UP THE DISPOSAL TOO.
LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXCITING AT CRAZY ACRES...
LET ME REPHRASE THAT--- I HAVE BEEN TRAINED NOT TO EXPECT THE NORMAL... WHATEVER THAT IS.
