feb 4  2015
late start... i got sidetracked... 
last night ? afternoon/ courtney called and said they quick needed to run a live show wiht charlie and  "pen"  and needed  some of our live video backgfround...

so i quick asked megan to be sure  dogs were in front of all the cameras and  i slapped vests on moria and bentley and sat on the floor..

 to set the scene-- it was kind of critical ... i am more than partly deaf--- i had a mic in one hand that sometimes works-- and a portable  phone in the other which battery went and i had to have enother... and bentley could see no reason to lie there.

i didn't know which tech device i was supposed to react to.  fortunately charlie covered-- and iot sounded like courtney in the background... the resulting video was not bad..

 this guy ...pen ... a CNN man of th eyear  "  or something----reunites soldiers with dog ( and cats) they befriended while in Afghanistan -- a very complicated proceedure involving rabies shots & quarantine   and no help from the va...--  he has reunited 700 dogs with soldiers--- some costing $4500 to transport-  
and i started thinking.........

no way could i part with any of you  who are keeping us going.... but this pen guy - he has the ear of "big rollers"  and maybe  he could "use" our production  to run a wall with $1000 donations.. 

it would not change a thing for us-- except maybe  putting thier  blue numbers on the  same table wiht our white ones...

if we can use our shltting   "organization " to help him  we should--- he too is doing a great job... including  training 2 women to be veternarians in Afghanistan 

so i am writing charlie this morning..

the interview is on ustream   http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/58411807 

and i want to get back to that project...

yesterday's closing  from helen keller  something about "blind and  having vision..."
