I HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL OF WHAT I SAY ONLINE..
YESTERDAY'S COMMENTS ABOUT MY POOR WORN OUT YUPPY PUPPY
STARTED A BUYING FRENZY ON EBAY WHERE 4 CAMERA PEOPLE
WERE BIDDING AGAINST EACH OTHERE- AND ONE OF THEM WAS ME.
IT WAS AN OLDER LOOKING ONE... NOT EXACTLY LIKE MY FAVORITE..
. BUT I HAVE AN OLD ACTUAL GUMBALL ONE (IN YELLOW) WHICH MIGHT
TAKE THE BONE HANDLE OF THE ONE ON EBAY... SO I WAS BIDDING
AND SO WERE 3 OTHER CAMERA PEOPLE---
CURRENT WINNER IS E***O WHOEVER THAT IS WHO OUTBID ME (ANIMALEP)
AND I QUIT BECAUSE I SUSPECT IT IS A CAMERA PERSON- WHY ELSE OUT OF
NOWHERE WOULD 7 PEOPLE START BIDDING ON A YUPPY????
I HAVE GONE SO FAR AS TO CALL THE PEOPLE WHO MFG IT.. TO NO AVAIL,
THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW/SMALLER ONES..
#1 IS THAT A WELL PLACED PAW TIPS THE WHOLE THING OVER
WHICH DOESN'T HAPPEN IF YOU SCREW IT TO A BIG PIESE OF 3/4 INCH PLYWOOD...
BUT THAT GETS CUMBERSOM. THE GLOBE HOLDING THE TREATS CAN
BE EMPTIED BY BENTLY IN 3 MINUTES FLAT.- THE TREATS WE USE ARE
JUST THE PUPPY FOOD FOR TEH ADULTS AND ADULT FOOD FOR TEH PUPS..
JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT... I DON'T KNOW WHY-- SOUNDS GOOD.
*************
I CALLED "THE CONTRACTOR" JEFF MASTERSON-- ON THE NEW BUILDING.
MASTERSON IS A HUGE CONSTRUCTION FIRM-- BIG BIG BIG MACHINES-
AND LOTS OF CONNECTIONS-- THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TORE DOWN
OUR COLLAPSED ARENA-- THEY HAD IT IN A HUGE PILE IN A COUPLE HOURS
AND GONE IN A DAY. JEFF IS A MALE--OBVIOUSLY- AND I THOUGHT HE WOULD DO BETTER WITH TEH BUILDING INSPECTOR- EVEN IF THE GUY IS NEW- THE OLD ONE TOLD ME I WAS "OUT OF MY LEAGUE, I WAS ONLY A WOMAN" AND THEN MADE ME PAY FOR SOIL COMPACTION STUDIES ON THE ARENA FOR $27,000... AFTER I DID NOT HIRE THE BUILDER RECOMMENDED BY HIM....
THAT COMPACTION STUDY WAS AN INTERESTING REQUIREMENT WHEN I WAS BUILDING AN ARENA WHER THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FLYING UP... NOT DOWN-- AND IF IT CAME TO THAT, THE THING TO GIVE OUT WOULD BE TEH STREGNTH OF THE MATERIAL IN THE COVER... NOT PULLING UP ANY CONCRETE FOOTINGS.......IT SEEMS TO ME....
******
SO JEFF IS GOIJN GTO DEAL WITH THE TOWN- AND GET THE PERMITS... I SENT HIM MY SCRATCHED PAPER- WHICH HE SAID HE HAS A FRIEND WHO CAN MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AND ARCHETCTCT DRAWING SO THE TOWN WILL BE HAPPY.....ALL TEH WASHABLE WALLS AND PARTITIONS WILL BE CONCRETE/BLOCKS OR OTHERWISE...SO ALL PIPES FOR ELECT AND PLUMBING WILL BE 100% VISABLE. I WILL LIKE THAT.
JEFF AND HIS FATHER HAVE DONATED TO SDP TO KEEP US GOING- SO THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH OUR OPERATION--... AND ME.... I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIRING A "NORMAL " CONTRACTOR- BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS MAKE PHONE CALLS TO CONTACTS. IN THIS CASE WE NEED SOMEONE TO DEAL WITH THE TOWN INSPECTORS, PUSH DIRT AROUND AND HIRE A CONCRETE PERSON. JEFF CAN DO THAT.
GOAL IS TO BE DONE AND FINISHED ( NEARLY ) BY APRIL.
THE ONLY CONSTRUCTION PART I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH IS THE EPOXY PROCESS FOR THE FLOOR---I NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT-- I KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW SOMEONE DOES IT- SO I NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO, AND CAN WE MAKE SOME CHARITY DEAL WITH SOME COMPANY????
DON'T ANYONE CONTACT ANY COMPANY DIRECTLY- BUT YOU COULD SEND ME COMPANY NAMES... I KNOW ABOUT MASCOCO ( OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) AND A FLOORING COMPANY THAT BEGINS WITHA "P" WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN SOMEWHERE.. .. IN OHIO??? --- I HAVE SOME LEARNING TO DO.
******
WE GOT THRU THE ANNUAL ANIMAL CONTROL INSPECTION - WITH FLYING COLORS- APPARENTLY-- AND THERE WAS NO REASON WHY NOT.-- IT WAS NOT ONLY THE DOGS... BUT COUNT THE CHICKENS AN HORSES AND DONKEYS.... INPECTORS NAME WAS MEGAN-- AND SHE SEEMED FRIENDLY... LOVES DANES
AND I TOLD HER TO COME BACK AND DRINK COFFEE AND PAT PUPPIES..
I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT MANY OF THE TOWN "ORDANENCES " ARE... BUT I HAVE A FEELING WE SKATE AROUND THE FRINGES WITH THE CHARITY/SERVICE DOG CATAGORIE. I HAVE SEEN IN PRINT "MORE THAN 5 DOGS'" --- AND--- " MORE THAN 20 DOGS' " AND WE ARE MORE THAN BOTH..
THEY ( USDA) ARE ALSO PICKY ABOUT CHICKENS BECAUSE OF CHICKEN VIRUSES- WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ORDER FROM STROMBERG'S CHICKS AGAIN... I DON'T KNOW.
************
BIG TRAINING LESSON OF THE DAY....
THE 3 PUPS IN THE KITCHEN WERE BEING OBNOXIOUS-- NOISY BITING EACH OTHER.... AND CHAOS WAS IN THE BACK DORM FEELING LEFT OUT/ LONELY... SO I PUT HER IN THE KITCHEN- 2 BIG SNARLS AND ONE SNAP AND THOSE PUPS COULD NOT BE BETTER BEHAVED... AND SHE IS HAPPILY LYING ON THE SOFA AND THEY ARE ALL LOOKING AT HER WITH GREAT RESPECT. WE ARE EVEN SPOON FEEDIN G THEM A CAN- AND WHEN SHE REACHES FOR CHOAOS WITH A SPOONFUL-- THE PUPS DON'T EVEN THINK OF JUMPING IN CHAOS DIRECTION.--- PERFECT TRAINER-- EXCEPT SHE DOESN'T DO MAIL CALL
*****
DON'T FORGET TO HAVE ANY TRAINING QUESTIONS READY ABOUT 4:45 IF POSSIBLE KATI WILL BE ON CAMERA/ ON MIC TODAY.
