JUST IN CASE PEOPLE WHO READ THE DD HERE DON'T KNOW HERE IS AN INFO DD

Notice from The Service Dog Project of Ipswich, MA

We have discovered that some of you might not be aware of all the ways you can follow real life in real time on the SDP farm aka "Crazy Acres" 24/7. We took the liberty of adding you to our list of more than 1000 people who enjoy reading the "Daily Doggie" every morning. If you don't care to be on this list, it's easy to unsubscribe at the bottom of the page.

To start your day, we recommend the "Daily Doggie" and a cup of coffee. Written by Carlene in her inimitable style with unique spelling and published every morning around 7:30, it is a fantastic way to get training tips and keep up with all creatures great and small on the farm - dogs, donkeys, guinea hens, the occasional family of owls, and building inspectors. From time to time letters from our recipients are included, moving stories about lives much improved because of a service Dane.

For visuals to go along with the writing, and courtesy of explore.org. we can offer 6 live cameras 24/7/365, to date visited more than 15 million times: www.explore.org. Search Great Danes. If you need a cheerful break in your day, watching frolicking puppies might just do the trick! We have also shown several live puppy births, and recently even two donkey births. Scroll down to find comments from a collection of "camera people", the "CP's".

Every day at 4:45 p.m. we feature "Trainer Talk", a live call-in Q & A session with one of our trainers. We end the day with our 5 p.m. live and unscripted "Mail Call" during which Carlene answers questions from around the world while opening the day's mail. - Also a great opportunity for us to thank all the people who send us much needed items from our Amazon wish list!

With 130 donated service Danes out working, SDP has changed many lives for the better. The independence you gain when you are no longer confined to a wheelchair is "priceless", except of course it isn't...

Each service Dane represents about $18,000 by graduation.From day one, SDP has donated all dogs, service Danes as well as our "Fabulous Failures". We have a dozen (modestly compensated) employees who ensure that the 50 puppies currently in training are well cared for and that the farm runs smoothly. Our 80+ volunteers get paid in puppy kisses and knowing their hard work helps others get a better life by "swapping a cane for a Dane".

Whether you bought a chicken brick once, or several every month over the last 4 years, your continued support is crucial. Here are some examples of where those donations went: https://youtu.be/w6wd53xHEfc

-Can you help us raise the next 50 pups?

Look for the Daily Doggie in your inbox tomorrow morning!
