EXCITEMENT OF THE DAY/ THE POO REPORT.... WRINKLE HAS A PROBLEM-- ACTUALLY 4 TIMES OVERNIGHT-- LAST NIGHT AT TRAINER TALK-- SHE KEPT COMING UP TO MEGAN AND I-- A LITTLE STRANGELY-- AND WE TOTALLY MISREAD HER ACTION --SHE WANTED TO GO OUT... AND WE IGNORED HER--- SHAME ON US !!... WELL SHE CONTINUED OVERNIGHT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND TODAY SHE IS ON THE MEDICATION CHART..PANCAKE POOS !!!
******
THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY CHARTS.... BUT I GUESS WE NEED THEM-MEGAN PRODUCED A PROGRESSION FOR THE INTERNS... THEY START HERE IN THE HOUSE WITH A FEW EXERCISES-- EACH INTERN HAS 3 PUPS. FIRST THING IS LOOSE LEASH WALKING... TO GET THEM IN THE HOUSE TO BEGIN WITH...
YOU LET THE LEASH DROOP SLIGHTLY AND IF THE PUP GOES AHEAD AND TIGHTENS IT YOU GIVE A LITTLE JERK AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE.-- AFTER A COUPLE OF THOSE THE PUP WILL FIGURE OUT THAT GOING FORWARD TOO FAST WILL CAUSE THE ROPE AROUND HIS NECK TO JERK-- SO THEY LEARN...WALK NEXT TO YOU WITH LOOSE LEASH..
****
THEN A FEW SIMPLE THINGS LIKE "RECALL IN THE KITCHEN" AND OF COURSE THE YUPPY PUPPY.. JUST TO KEEP IT FUN..-- THESE WILL BE ON CAMERA-- AND THE INTERNS WILL HAVE TO RECORD THE PROGRESS-- OR LACK THEREOF....- SO IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO WATCH..
*****
MY INSOMNIA STUDY OF THE NIGHT---- ALL THERE IS TO WATCH IS TEH RUN OF FACES ON TV..... ----SOME PEOPLE'S FACES ARE ACCUSTOMED TO SMILING- AND WHEN THEY ARE RELAXED THEY STILL MAINTAIN THE SLIGHT SMILE-- THERE ARE OTHERS WHO RELAXED FACIALS LOOK LIKE THEY JUST SMELLED SOME BASKETBALL PLAYERS SOX. SMILING SEEMS TO BE AN UN NATURAL STATE..-- ALMOST A SNARL---- INTERESTING

Here is a very good article you can share. Home Depot labels their plants treated with neonics, but I’m sure there are other stores that don’t. You should always ASK and also buy from small-town local nurseries who carry native plants if possible.

Neonicotinoid pesticides were first registered for use in the mid-1990s. Since then, these chemi- cals have become widely adopted for use on farm crops, ornamental landscape plants, and trees. Neonicotinoids are systemic chemicals; they are absorbed by the plant and are transferred through the vascular system, making the plant itself toxic to insects.
The impact of this class of insecticides on pol- linating insects such as honey bees and native bees is a cause for concern .
SO THERE !! PAY ATTENTION...
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY SUSPICIOUS OF THESE LOVELY BIG ESTATES WITH NOT A DANDELION IN SIGHT... THEY ARE EITHER LOADED WITH CHEMICALS OF THEY MAKE WINE IN THE CELLAR.
AND HOW WE ALL GET TRAINED BY THE CHEM COMPANIES TO THINK THE LITTLE YELLOW FLOWERS ARE BAD...SO WE GO OUT OF OUT WAY TO PLANT VERY SIMILAR ONES RIGHT NEXT TO THE ONES WE ARE TOLD TO KILL OFF...
THE RUN OFF !!! IF I CAN NOT PASTURE AN ANIMAL WITHIN 100 FEET OF WETLANDS, WHY CAN PEOPLE BUY AND SPREAD CHEMICALS WHICH RUN OFF STRAIGHT INTO THE WETLANDS?????
****
WHICH MAKES ME REMEMBER MY FATHER AND HIS QUART BELL JAR OF SOME CHEMICAL GIVEN TO HIM BY A FARMER... IF HE SHOOK IT OVER HIS CORN ROWS IN THE GARDEN, NOTHING BUT CORN WOULD GROW....
SO WHY ARE WE NOT SPRAYING THAT ALL OVER THE POPPY CROP IN AFGHANASTAN-- IT WOULD RUIN THE DRUG BUSINESS AND THEY COULD HAVE PLENT TO EAT??
I DUNNO
