ANNIE DID A NICE MAIL CALL LAST NIGHT- SHE READ A BUNCH OF CARDS AND LETTERS WHILE TEH CP'S AND STAFF KIBITZED.
THAT WAS AFTER PAM TURNED OUR COLLECTION OF FOOD INTO A WONDERFUL MEAL MOSTLY FROM IHEART AND CHARLOTTE...- AND WE STILL HAVE MORE FROZEN FOR THE NEXT ROUND...
THE PUPS WHO ARE SICK WEIGH HEAVILY ON MY MIND... GRACE HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB CARING FOR THEM WITH GEORGE'S DIRECTIONS AND MEDICATIONS...--
LONG AGO GEORGE SAID WE DEFINETLY NEED A QUARENTINE KENNEL --- MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME? - -- ANNE IS APPLYING FOR GRANT FROM A FAIRLY LOCAL COMPANY, AND IF THEY COME THRU WE JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO BUILD A PROPER INFIRMARY IN THE PLACE WHERE THE TEEPEE.. NOW IS.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SPRAY KENNELS AND SCRUB WALLS AND FLOOR MADE OF CEMENT AND TILE-- NOT PORUS WOOD.. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUBMIT A DESIGN.. PLEASE DO SEND IT IN THE MAIL.. THE AREA COULD BE 20 X 24-- AND SHOULD CONTAIN PROVISION FOR SCRUB DOWN AND FLOOR DRAINS PLUS MINI LAB WORK - COUNTER SPACE FOR MICROSCOPE AND THINGS.
WE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN WALKING IN AND OUT OF CHLOROX FOOTBATHS, BUT TEH DEAGLE HOUSE IS STILL PRIMARILY WOOD-- AND YOU JUST CAN NOT CLEAN THAT AS WE WOULD LIKE TO.
THANKS TO OUR CAMERA PEOPLE --- WE HAVE A WONDERFUL SUPPLY OF ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT A "WASHABLE " BUILDING. SO I GUESS THAT IS NEXT. THERE ARE MORE WIRES AND PIPES UNDERGROUND IN THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE T TENT THAN IN TIMES SQUARE... SOMEHOW WE CAN MANAGE--AND PROBABLY HAVE TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THIS ONE.. I THINK THE "OLD GUY" WHO INSULTED ME IS RETIRED NOW.. BUT BUILDING INSPECTORS HAVE NEVER BEEN MY FAVORITE. THEY LIKE PAPER PLANS....WITH STRAIGHT LINES...
*****
A THOUGHT FOR THE MOMENT--- SOOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THANKED US FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR PEOPLE.... WHEN IN MY MIND TEH PEOPLE ARE SECONDARY... THE DOGS ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME- EVERY ONE OF THEM... OF COURSE WE LOOK AT GEORGE--- BUT THERE ARE OVER 100 ALL HAPPILY DOING AN INTERESTING JOB WITH NICE PEOPLE.
I WISH THE REST OF ASSISTANCE DOG INTERNATIONAL WOULD REALIZE WHAT FANTASTIC MOBILITY SERVICE DOG A DANE MAKES---- ESPECIALLY IF THE PERSON DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE THE DOG RETRIEVE SOME OBJECT... THERE ARE DOGS BETTER AT RETREIVING NO DOUBT-- AND A JACK RUSSEL MAKES A BETTER "HEARING EAR" DOG TO ALERT TO SOUNDS.. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WALKING AROUND A DANE IS "WHERE IT IS AT" .
