march 22 2016
i have had a complaint about the daily doggie being too spicy and  at times controversial-- leaving me only to talk about applesauce and oatmeal
---  i was going to mention peanut butter  but that is the kind of thing that got the objection... ?don't i realize how many people are allergic to peanut butter?  how insensitive of me to even mention it !

honestly -- there are times.......and yesterday was one of them.
let it be known  if you send me any email  it is inclined to be included in the daily doggie    so don't complain if it is.  if you have private information to give me....call me with information  , in all probabliity  i forget it as soon as i hang up-- so it is safe...

 thank heavens i have such a poor memory that  i  can't remember names or perceived problems..
going onward and upward......

thanks to bella we have had many letters-- mostly about volunteering-  many with children with various problems- i wish we could help them all...  but this email struck a note....  i have  carefully removed the names because  i don't want anyone complaining about  publishing names without permission. i even removed which bone he was minus for fear of repercussions -- i tell you this business of being public can be a problem....  sounds like this person is where i was 15 years ago--- maybe .....

Hello I am sure you guys receive so many messages I really hope this makes it. I am a Dane breeder and we have been working on becoming certified therapy Danes. Recently I was approached by a mother of a young boy who was born with a disability named xxxxx. I'm going to include her page because it's much better at explaining  xxxx  disability. The short version is he was born without an xxxxxx bone. He will have to have lengthening surgeries throughout his life. 

His mother xxxxx   has requested for xxxx t o start with a therapy dog but one day xxxx could use a balance/service dog. In our area, Lower PA Chester County, I've contacted many service dog training companies but no one will train or help me train or even point me towards the correct direction on how to train a Dane because of their short life span makes them "unfit" to be service dogs is what I was told by multiple companies. I did some more research and found your website and thought I'd reach out to see if you could please help me to help xxxxx   and other children like him. I have vowed to do everything I can to help him and his mother and now other families with children who have the same condition (which most of the time results in amputation) have also come forward pleading for help. If there is anything books, program suggestions or anything I would be most grateful! 
thank you so very much for anything,
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx

so i sent her  the thing  i just wrote  about our spoon feeding  technique of training a dane...  which was for the adi newsletter...and  welcomed her into the fold.

the need is huge-- the danes are good-- even great--- so as i type--- i have been shuffling related info to renee on the west coast- with the hopes she might pull something together out there... eventually   best case  would be for her to become her own 501 c 3 ---  but maybe for now we could manage to keep a few other dane operations  under our umbrella....

changing the topic slightly--
i have a small salt shaker which i keep under my monitor for those steak and egg breakfasts donna is so good at makeing. -- it is nearly empty--it holds maybe less that ¼ cup .  but i suddenly realized that still is a heck of alot of salt i have eaten.   couple few grains of salt a day and  ¼ cup... gone ?????
  i don't want to offend anyone.... but things like Coronary Artery disease come to mind....

re the prego donkey--- maude....
someone who should know what a mare's milk bag looks like  told me-- there aint nothin yet...
  it is tough to judge what grace tells me-- she is used to dairy cows...  full production of a horse the milk department is ½ a softball size..
and the size of the baby horse they are feeding is about the size of a calf... and the cow has  udders the size of 2 basketballs 

hmmmmmm... specialized breeding...
