AH.. THE SIMPLE JOYS OF LIFE...
LIKE MY BIG.SCRAPBASKET MADE OF A PURINA DOG FOOD BAG..... ONE OF THE ANNOYING THINGS I HAVE GOT RID OF IS MY NORMAL SCRAPBASKET. ----A CUTE LITTLE THING OF A DEVIOUS NATURE...FIRSTLY IT WAS SHORTER THAN MY DESK-- GRAVITY BEING WHAT IT IS, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO RUMMAGE THRU THE NASTY THING LOOKING FOR AN OBJECT GRAVITY HAD SNATCHED FROM MY DESKTOP--"THE BAG" IS TALLER THAN MY DESK...SO UNLESS GOLDIE GETS IN THE LEVITATION ACT, I HAVE ELIMINATED AN ANNOYING FACET OF SDP.... A SHORT SNEAKY SCRAPBASKET.
IT DOES NARROW THE PASSAGE FROM SUN ROOM TO FRONT DOOR...WHICH TODAY MUST BE IMPROVED UPON.
FIRSTLY WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS "YOU COULD DO BETTER" FROM THE PRUDENCE COMMITTEE-NAMELY BAILEY.
SHE REALLY DOES NEED A FEW MOFRE STRIPS OF THAT WONDERFUL FLOORING STUFF SENT BY BARBARA HIESS FROM PIG INDUSTRIES????? BOY I HOPE I HAVE THAT RIGHT...ANYWAY SHE SENT A 40 POUND ROLL OF STICK DOWN STUFF MAYBE ⅛ INCH THICK...I AM NOT SURE WHAT INDUSTRY DOES WITHT IT, BUT AT CRAZY ACRES, IT IMPROVES TRACTION FOR THE OLD WOMEN IN THE CROWD NAMELY BAILEY AND ME. THE EDGES STAY STUCK DOWN AMID HOURLY SWEEPINGS AND DAILY WASHINGS FOR A MONTH-- THE STUFF STAYS ON THE FLOOR ! WHEN SHE SENT IT TO US SHE ASKED US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ELSE WAS GOOD OR BAD..
WELLLLLLL.... I BET SHE NEVER EXPEDCTED THIS... BUT -- THE DOGS DO NOT SEEM TO LIKE TO PEE PR POOP ON IT.... PREFERRING THE NAKED FLOOR.
QUICKLY REMIND YOURSELF WHY DO YOU READ THIS THING????
MOVING ON....BAILEY STOPS AT THE DOORWAY -- VERY CLEARLY REQUESTING ANOTHER STRIP OR TWO SO SHE CAN MAKE IT TO THE FRONT DOOR - BEING JOSTLED BY OTHER RUDE YOUNGSTERS IS VERY HARD ON THE OLD LADY.... WHO OTHERWISE IS DOING WELL AT 13+ YEARS OLD..
I DON'T THINK SHE COULD SUPPORT ANY MORE SKIN APPENDAGES THAN SHE ALREADY HAS... BUT THEY ALL SEEM HEALTHY POLYP SORT OF THINGS---- JUST DO NOT ASSUME ANY ARE TICKS, THEY CAN'T BE PULLED OFF.
OTHER THAN THAT , AND A BIG BOX OF BABY WIPES TO TIDY UP AFTER A WALK AROUND HER LIFE SEEMS STILL A VERY HAPPY ONE OF CHASING BENTLEY OR CHAOS OFF ONE SOFA OR ANOTHER AS SHE STANDS AND STARES TIL ONE OF US CHASES THE OFFENDING DOG OFF WHATEVER SOFA IS IN QUESTION. LUCKILY WITH ENOUGH VOLUNETTERS AND CP'S THERE IS HELP AROUND...
WELL THAT AND A SLING ON HER REAR FOR THE 2 STEPS UP TO THE PORCH JUST TO STEADY HER IN CASE.. SHE DOES SEEMM TO NAVAGATE THEM BUT IS IN FEAR OF FALLING... SO WITH THE SLING IN PLACE SHE WILL TROT RIGHT UP THE STEPS. THE MANUEVER TAKES TWO PEOPLE-- ONE ON THE GROUND TO "PASS THE TORCH" TO ANOTHER ON THE POORCH. SHE WILL WAIT FOR ALL TO BE IN PLACE...
*****
GOING BACK TO NARROWING THE PASSAGEWAY, A HUGE FACTORF IS THE YUPPY PUPPY- CAUSING ME NEARLY EXTREME AGRIVATION... HISTORICALLTY- BEFORE WE WENT THRU ALL THIS BUSINESS "STUFF " AND GOT ACCREDITED, ALL MY PUPS COUODL USE THE THING. NOW WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK IN PLACE ONLY A VERY FEW DOGS KNOW HOW TO USE IT-- YET IT HAS A PLACE OF HONOR- RIGHT BEHIND ME CONSTANTLY REMINDING ME THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF INSISTING ALL SLIPS OF PAPER BE FILED IN A BUSINESSLIKE MANNER... AND "THE DEVIL TAKE THE HINDMOST"
WELL THERE ARE ONLY 4 PUPS IN THIS LITTER AND I T BOTHERS ME I HAVE NOT SHOWWN ENOUGH POEOP LE HOW TO TRAIN A PUP TO USE IT
WHICH BRINGS UP--- I CAN SHOW POEPLE HOW TO TRAIN PUPS, BUT IF YOU DON;T HAVE THE CONCENTRATION AND SPLIT SECOND TIMEING, YOU WILL DO MORE UN-TRAINING THAN TRAINING
THE BIG TRAINING LESSON OF THE DAY-- EVERYTIME YOU ARE HANDLING A DOG HERE, YOU ARE TRAINING IT. LOOK AT THE HEAD OF THE DOG YOU ARE TRAINING/HANDLING ... A BIG-- NO HUGE--- HUGE ANNOYANCE IS FOR ME TO SEE SOMEONE STOP TO TALK TO ANOTHER PERSON AND BE MORE CONCERNED WITH MAKING POLITE EYE CONTACT RWITH THE PERSON THAN WITH THE WITH A DOG ON A LEASH.-- ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LEASH IS ANYTHING LIKE TIGHT... I REALLY BOIL INSIDE... THAT INCLUES WHEN I RIDE BY ON MY GOLF CART -- YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE-- DON'T LOOK AT ME--- PAY ATTENTION TO THE DOG YOU HAVE ON A LEASH.... IT JUST GIVES ME GREAT ANGER..
YOU CAN TALK WITHOUT EYE CONTACT !!!
AND HEAVEN FORBID--- DO NOT RUN THESE 4 PUPS DOWN THE DRIBEWAY AND LOOK AT ANYTHING EXCEPT YOUR FEET IN RELATION TO THOSE PUPS.... THEY DART AND RUN IN FRONT SO QUICKELY, YOU COULD DO TERRIBLE DAMAGE-- ALL SO YOU COULD MAKE EYE CONTACT AND TALK TO SOMEONE???/ FORGET THAT...
WHEN IT IS THE WORST? "SMILE FOR THE CAMERA?" THE PERSON DOES AND SNATCHES UP ON THE LEASH TO POSITION THE DOG....THEN FOR POSTERITY WE HAVE A DOCUMENTATION OF NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DOG... BUT SMILING !
THUS ENDETH THE LESSON FOR THE DAY.
