WELCOME TO THE NEW BUNCH OF DD READERS--
I THINK ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL PIECES OF INFORMATOIN LEFT OUT OF THE INTRODUCTORY LETTER -- IS ----
CHAIRPERSON OF OUR ADVISORY BOARD IS A GHOST - OF-LEFTHAND- DRAWER- "G-O-L-Die" FROM AN INSTANTLY APPEARING STENCH IN WHAT WS MY FATHERS OLD OAK DESK- TO IT'S INSTANT DISAPPEARENCE IN SPITE OF WEEKS OF DAWN,MURPHYS, VINEGAR,H2O2, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ANNESETTE LIQUOR -WHICH WAS SUGGESTED BY ONE OF YOU CAMERA PEOPLE (CP). THE STENCH LEFT, BUT GOLDIE REMAINS MINUS HER SIGNATURE STENCH....AND DOES PLAY A VERY ACTIVE ROLL AT SERVICE DOG PROJECT.
YESTERDAY WAS NO DIFFERENCE.
WE ARE BUILDING - BASICALLY A DOG HOUSE-- SO MAYBE A 3 DOG HOUSE... AND THEY ARE BIG DOGS... SO IT IS 20 X 30 TO BE CONCRETE ( WASHABLE)
WITHOUT THE BUILDING INSPECTING DEPARTENT -JEFF WHO OWNS A BUNCH OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AN D I WOUJDL HAE STOOD AROUND DUG HOLES AND POURED CONCERTTE AND WOLD HAVE HAD A USEABLE BUILDOING BY LAST APRIL 1ST.- UNTIL I DECIDEED TO DO IT LEGALLY AND GET A PERMIT.-
PERHAPS TEH BIGGEST MISTAKE OF SDP-
YESTERDAY GOLDIE... IN HER USUAL FASHIION... PROVIDED AND ACCIDENTAL APPEARENCE HERE OF A MEMBER OF THE ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS- HE HAD SOME UNUSUAL REMARKS ABOUT THE QUANTITY OF IRON REQUIRED BY SAID BUILDING INSPECTOR FOR THE 5 FLOOR DRAINS...
I WON'T PUT THEM HERE BECAUSE IF THEY CAN HACK COLIN POWELL'S PERSONAL EMAILS , I SHUTTER TO THINK WHAT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT WOULD DO WITH MINE.
******************
WIFE OF ARMY CORP GUY IS ETHYL'S PARTNER- A DELIGHTFUL GAL JULIA IN A WHEELCHAIR TGHAT ETHYL CAN PULL FASTER THAN ANY ELECIIC CHAIR COULD GO-- IT WAS GOOD TO SEE HER AGAIN AND ETHYL IS DOING BEAUTIFULLY-- FIT AND ACTIVE-- THIS IS THE DOG THAT AS A PUP HAD A BLOOD DISGRACIA THAT WE ALMOST MADE INTO A PERFECT PET.. BUT THEY HAVE MANAGED HER MEDS VERY WELL.AND SHE IS CURED BUT MONOTERED.
BIG DOG LESSON OF THE DAY COMES FROM HER..
BECAUSE ETHYL HAD BEEN ON STEROIDS FOR A LONG TIME, THE VET MADE A COMMENT ABOUT IT MAY CHANEGE HER BEHQAVIOR TO COME OFF THE MEDS...AND SOMEWHERE IN THERE, ETHYL STARTED REFUSING TO LIE QUIETLY IN A RESTAAURANT... JULIA, REMEMBERIING THE VET'S COMMENT IMMEDIATELY DECIDED IT WAS THE FACT THAT SHE WAS NOT ON MEDS.
JULIA ( WHO WILL BE GOING TO MED SCHOOL) GOT A SPHEEL FROM ME ABOUT "FIRSTLY.. WITH ANY DOG, DEAL WITH EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU - A DOG NOT BEHAVING NORMALLY- AND CONSIDER ALL THE POSIBILITIES FOR THAT BEHAVIOR WITHOUT JUMPING TO THE CONCLUSION , IT MUST BE WHAT SOME VET TOLD YOU" I CALL THAT LACKING IN INTELECTUAL EFFORT-- TOO QUICK TO BOTHER ANALYZING ALL THE POSSIBLE REASONS IS SLOPPY THINKING... JULIA IS A BRIGHT GAL AND QUICKLY SAW SHE HAD MORE TO CONSIDER... --- COULD BE THE DOCTOR WAS RIGHT-- THEY DID SPEND 8 YEARS LEARNING SOMETHING.... BUT CREATIVITY OF THOUGHT MUST NOT SUFFER......... FOR AN EXAMPLE.... I ASKED IF MAYBE HAVING LOST ALL THE WEIGHT THAT STEROIDS CAN ENCOURAGE, MAYBE HER BONES WERE HITTING HTE FLOOR INSTEAD IF TE COMFORTABLE FAT.
----COUDL BE SHE WANTED TH E FOOD OFF THE TABLE-- THERE IS A CURE FOR EITHER OF THOSE
PROBLEMS. THINK IN DEPTH....

ADVERTISING-- TOYING WITH ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE MENTAL BLOCKS ..
THAT DARN " FAT LESS " FRYING PAN ADVERTISMENT- I SWEAR THEY RUN IT JUST BEFORE BREAKFAST AND SHOW HOW BEAUTIFULLY EGGS AND OMLETS JUST SLIDE OUT ONTO THE PLATE...
*********
FRYING PANS--- TRUE STORY--...--AT MAIL CALL ONE DAY I WAS DISCUSSING THE TOPIC OF CHILDREN AT CHRISTMAS EATING PEPERMENT CANDY CANES WHICH WERE JUST THE SIZE OF THEIR FINGERS AND BECAUSE OF THE USUAL SALIVA AND SUGAR, THEIR HANDS SMELLED AND TASTED LIKE PEPERMENT.
( YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHERE THIS IS GOING)
BECAUSE I SPENT YEARS IN CROWDS WITH 8 DONKEYS IN FAKE ANTLERS AS SANTAS PROPULSION UNIT---I DEVISED THAT TREATS WERE ONLY FED TO DONKEYS OUT OF SMALL FRY PANS SO THE DONKEYS DID NOT GET CONFUSED BY THE PEPERMENT FINGERS-- IT WORKED.
SO AT THIS MAILCALL I DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT WE WERE MISSING THE USUAL FRY PANS THAT HUNG AROUND THE DONKEY PASTURE TO KEEP THEM TRAINED TO THE FRY PANS AND NOT FINGERS..
I SAID WE SHOULD BUY SOME MORE FRY PANS---
TH E NEXT PACKAGE I OPENED CONTAINED 2 SMALL PURPLE FRY PANS.
WE HAVE ANALYZED THAT OVER AND OVER- TO NO AVAIL... THERE IS NO EXPLANATION EXCEPT "GOLDIE"

From Amy: SEAGRAM'S STORY -- MY VISIT WITH THE VET ( PART 5)
Today Mom took me to meet a new vet. He was different than Dr. George, but also very nice like Dr. George. The new vet had a soothing voice and seemed relaxed as he sat back while he talked with Mom. At first, I was very shy and declined the cookie that he offered. I went back to Mom and stayed close to her while they discussed the farm and my history, including the way that I was named.
After a few minutes I walked over to him and let him rub under my chin then pat my head. Since he had passed my initial tests (like waiting until I came to him), I accepted a couple of cookies from him. .. He examined me ( and said ALL of me is perfect. Awww). He also said that my coat looks "beautiful," and I really appreciate it when this is noticed. We learned that I weigh 104 lbs.
