2 wow's---first the check from memsaic is on the way $18058.50   to which we could add the $2120 of quick picks sent to us directly... bless you all !!   second wow... i am glad i got the flyers/poster  made for the cake bit.//   i have just put a bunch  of envelopes in the outgoing mail place with a poker chip for good luck... this should be a kick !! ****** basic financial report- so far  so good.. i did give everyone a temp bonus for the holidays  with the caviot that it might be for a few months only.  it looks like adding a few more part time  people might be a better  to go---namely linda to help theresa with the paperwork department... shannon #47 helping with training-- and  additional barn mgr for the afternoon/evening. and the building is on schedule... ( whatever that schedule was...  jeff is managing it)- all 31 pups are doing nicely... plus  we have food---the overflow room is overflowing with texas toast--  what more could we need.??? ****** did i mention yesterday that obama declared all military dogs will be brought here and  retired on us soil...  i guess we all should be aware of helpiing that process if a dog needs to find a home...  there is one in our area... a veteran followed the dog to alaska and brought it here to ?everett??... so i  told him to come join us and we would figure out somethign. we can't help everyone... but we can help some. **** hardly interesting... but....  i hope you all will notice at mail call -- the  super shelving next to my desk...donna theresa and i cleaned it up yesterday-- there was janine's mail in an odd slot  dated november 2014-- and included several critical things.. like trailer registration.. i thought we finally had the trailer problem straight-- i have 3  --- a dump ( reg)-- a  featherlite horse ( unknown reg has been owned by both janine and myself many times as cars changed etc...) and a  tracer - donkey trlr(unknown reg) i also own an amazing collection of electrical connections---  car round to the uhaul 4 flat-- and the 4 flat car to the trailer round-- many...purchased every time we cold not find  the right one... it has been a tough 30 years... **** i have always wanted a car that could pull an d a trailer with the right electrical and reg--  a lifetime goal of mine. in an effort to achieve this ...and register the horse trailer to me... we could not find the title--- so .. since the donkey trailer was very similar ( just shorter) i reg the horse with the donkey certificate of origin. i thought i was pretty close to home free and then i found thei mail in janine's slot.. from 2014   the reg papers for  a merlow trailer (i never owned a physical one of those)  transferred from a deidre to janine..  which then got transferred from janine to me. so i am back to not knowing which is which and to whom is anything reg.???? sitting in the yard is a featherlite and a tracer...  but the papers???  somebody  said this area of  ipswich/hamilton has more horse trailers per square foot  than any other part of the country... i do believe it because there are alot of 2 acre lots-- and most have  a horse trailer. there is alot of trailer swapping that goes on... obviously... ************* it is this "what difference would it make"-- that gets me into toruble with  adi and  the attorney general's office and the  yearly pc return   ----it is better now that someone else has to do it.  it is against my nature  to file papers anyway. ***** remember my historuy is in statistical mathematics..  math 101.. you tell me what you want to prove and i will make up the statistics to go with it. very interesting in this political atmosphere...   " the rate of increase of unemployment has gone down" one political persuasion would hear only  buzz words  unemployment and down.. ***** i better get back to  the  ^%&*()_(*  paperwork. ****** from bella's mom   i wish i could put in the picture well ---let me try   ??    http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3181/4966/original.jpg bella and george were adorable when I woke up and I saw them snuggling together on their Big Barker Bed. It's so funny how they are like an old married couple and sleep the same way. ***** i told you -- those barker beds are wonderful !!
