WHY WAS THIS WAS NECESSARY…?
IT STARTED WHEN WE TOOK 5 DOGS IN TRAINING INTO THE ROAST BEEF SANDWICH STORE NEAR LIBERTY TREE MALL- SOMEH0W FIVE 150 POUND DANES CAUGHT THE EYE OF THE MANAGER.—JIM-- NICE MAN – DOG LOVER.. HE ASKED IF WE COULD USE HIS BEEF ENDS THAT WOULD NOT GO THRU HIS SLICER.- OF COURSE WE COULD-- WITH 50 ODD DANES ON THE PROPERTY THAT TURNED INTO HAVING HIM DELIVER ABOUT 300 POUNDS OF BEAUTIFUL BEEF WEEKLY—FROZEN IN LARGE CHUNKS—EVEN TOO BIG FOR DANES..
^%$^&^ NO PHOTO IN THIS DD BEEF CUTTING AT FIREPLACE
FOR MONTHS VOLUNTEERS SPENT HOURS CUTTING THEM INTO CHUNKS IN FRONT OF OUR FIREPLACE—INTIL ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAD THE BRAINSTORM OF USING THE WOOD CHIPPER HER HUSBAND USED TO CHOP TUNA BAIT.. WE TRIED IT. THE WOOD CHIPPER DID WORK… BUT SPRAYED BEEF ALL OVER .. DONNING TYVEK SUITS WE MOVED THE OPERATION TO THE YARD FOR A FEW MONTHS AS WE STRUGGLED TO IMPROVE OUR EFFICIENCY.

..- BUT STILL THE ONLY PLACE I COULD WASH AND CLEAN THE MACHINE WITH HOT SOAPY WATER —WAS IN MY SHOWER. A VERY CUMBERSOM PROJECT- BUTIT WAS WORKING AND THE BEEF WAS A BEAUTIFUL DIET FOR THE PUPS. ( WITH TUMS ADDED -PRESCRIBED BY THE VET FOR CALCIUM).
WE ROTATED THE BEEF IN 3 COOLERS AND 6 USED DONATED FREEZERS IN MY CELLAR.- THEN 2 CEASED TO FUNCTION PLUS WE GOT CONFUSED…CAUSING A STENCH BEYOND A DUMPSTER SMELL– NOT WANTING TO ASK JIM TO BRING LESS BEEF , WE HAD TO GET RID OF THE EXTRA FOR WHICH WE HAD NO STORAGE … WE DUG DEEP HOLES WITH THE BACK HOE AND TREATED OUR WORM POPULATION TO A FEAST. ONCE OR TWICE IT WAS NO PROBLEM- BUT VERY SOON- EVEN WITH 12 ACRES WE HAD OMINIOUS MOUNDS VAGUELY RESEMBLING GRAVE SITES OVER MUCH OF THE AVAILABLE LAND.
OUR 60+ VOLUNTEERS WERE PERFECTLY WILLING TO HAND CUT ALL THIS BEEF --- IF IN THE LONG RUN IT MADE FOR MORE AND BETTER SERVICE DOGS. HOWEVER THE SYSTEM NEEDED REDESIGNING.
NOT WANTING TO DISTURB THE BOARD OF HEALTH, WE LOOKED INTO A WALK IN FREEZER OUTDOORS… WE CONSULTED AN EXPERT – A MCDONALDS FRANCHIESE OWNER. THIS IS WHERE ALCES CAME IN AND SAVED THE DAY—NOW WE USE ALL THE BEEF HE BRINGS- WE CAN EVEN OFFER THE FROZEN CHUNKS TO THE PEOPLE TO WHOM WE HAVE DONATED DOGS.
WE CAN ALSO STORE THE 3 GALLON TUBS OF ICECREAM OCASSIONALLY DONATED BY BEN AND JERRYS. THIS KEEPS OUR VOLUNTEERS HAPPY.
… ……..HAPPY VOLUNTEERS ARE EXCELLENT ( AND CHEAP) HELP.
WE HAVE DONATED 16 DOGS IN 2014 AND 6 SO FAR IN 2015.
WITH MOTHER NATURE’S HELP- ALONG WITH THE ANNENBERG FOUNDATION , PURINA AND THE THOUSANDS OF “CAMERA PEOPLE” WHO BUY $15,000 WORTH OF CHICKEN BRICKS MONTHLY, TO BECOME SUPPORTING MEMBERS OF THE “SHATUPON SOCIETY OF IPSWICH “,WE WILL CONTINUE.
YOUR FREEZER IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD IN PRODUCING MORE SERVICE DOGS BY IMPROVING OUR EFFICIENCYT. THE DEMAND KEEPS INCREASING AS PEOPLE HEAR OF OUR SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS.
OUR RECIPIENTS THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE DIFFERENCE.
