OH #$%^&*()--- I FORGOT I WAS TO BE NPO AFTER MIDNIGHT-- AND at 5:00am I HAD COFFEE AND SOME DRY CEREAL--- I AM NOT DUE IN TH ELAB TIL 2:00 SO IF I JUST QUIT NOW, THAT IS 9 HOURS-- MUST BE OK... OR THEY CAN JUST GIVE ME THAT ? MORPHINE? THAT MAKES THE DOGS DROOL AND THROW UP BEFORE SURGERY..
NOW ISN'T THAT AN ATTRACTIVE WAY TO START THE DAY?????
WELL ON TOP OF THAT.... I HAVE THE PERFECT EXCUSE NOT TO DO THE STALL THIS MORNING.... I HAVE A CLASSROOM OF SCHOOL KIDS GOING TO TUNE IN AFTER 8AM TODAY FOR A SNAIL MAIL CHAT....

BETTER TO CONSIDER THE 9 LOVELY PUPS OF GUSSIE'S.. SHE IS GOOD AT THIS STUFF... SOMEONE ASKED WHY WE BRED HER SO
YOUNG -- ? NOT REALLY YOUNG --- HER FIRST LITTER WAS ON HER SECOND HEAT-- SO IF MOTHER NATURE HAD HER WAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HER 4TH LITTER..? SO BACK TO A BASICALLY YOUNG DOG???? HER DELIVERY OF THE PUPS WAS CERTAINLY NEARLY CASUAL WITH VERY LITTLE PAWING AND PULLING DISCOMFORT ... MY MOTHER USED TO SAY "HAVE YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG" I THOUGHT IT WAS SO YOU COULD KEEP UP WITH TRYING TO RAISE THEM WHILE SAVING FOR COLLEGE... IT NEVER OCCURED TO ME IT WAS SO THE DELIVERY WOULD BE EASIER... MAYBE???
WE WILL HAVE TO AWAIT MARK TO COME PHOTOGRAPH THEM FOR POSTERITY ( AND ALSO FOR A CHEAT SHEET)

BRAND NEW PUPS, AND ALL THE ACCOMPANYING GOOP, DOES HAVE A DISTNCT ODOR-- NOT PARTICULARLY FOUL SMELLING, BUT DISTINCTIVE - SO BEFORE BED I ENJOYED A WARM TUB BATH- EVEN IF I WAS MINUS MY RUBBER DUCKY-- I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHERE PLUCKY WENT.
**
AS I SAT IN MY TUB, I WONDERED WHAT MY MATTRESS WOULD SMELL LIKE IF I WAS A PERSON WHO SHOWERED IN THE MORNING.. PEOPLE WHO DO THAT MUST LIVE IN AN APPARTMENT AND NOT GET DIRTY -- ALTHO I DO THINK ANIMAL DIRTY IS NOT NEARLY AS BAD AS PEOPLE DIRTY.
****
I WAS TRYNG TO MAKE A VIDEO TO SEND TO EXPLORE WITH OUR MID TERM REPORT-- AND I RAN INTO ONE EXPLORE HAD MADE OF OUR LAST GROUP OF PUPS RUNNING AROUND THE LIVING ROOM...I THINK IT IS LABELED "SOCIALIZATION OR MAYHEM?" IT IS PRETTY GOOD... SO WHY SHOULD I MAKE ANY OTHER... THEY ARE BETTER AT IT.
*****
SPEAKING OF VIDEOS IF ANY OF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN TEH DONKEY STEEPLECHASE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqmG0DjrlFM IT IS WELL WORTH THE FEW MINUTES...IT IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY DONKEYS MAKE SUCH BETTER PETS THAN HORSES-- THEY ARE CAREFUL AND SMART WITH A PERSPECTIVE ON ACTIVITIES WHICH IS OVERWHELMING.

HEATER FIASCO OF THE DAY--- THE DEAGLE HOUSE HEATER DROPPED IN IT'S EFFICIENCY AND WE HAD TO PUT IN SERVICE TEH WOOD/COAL STOVE ALL THE CP'S DONATED TO US AT ONE DOG FEST....-- IT GOT THE TEMP UP TO 90 DEGREES IN NOTHING FLAT... HOWEVER WE DID PUT ALL THOSE DOGS IN OTHER PLACES LAST NIGHT---AS PAM COVERED THE WOOD WITH 4 INCHES OF COAL, I QUIETLY PRAYED TINA HAD HEARD ME SAY "WOOD AND COAL" I DON'T KNOW WHT THE DIFFERENCE IS EXCEPT I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITHTHE MELTING OF THE IRON -- HOWEVER AT LAST CHECK.. IT HAD NOT MELTED..
THE ONE IN TH ENUTT HOUSE IS DEFINITERLY WOOD AND COAL.
***
WE ALREADY HAVE A BACK UP HEATER OF THE SAME TYPE WHICH I AM TOLD BUD SAID WAS MARGIONAL TOO.. SO I ORDERED ANOTHER... TO BE DELIVERED TODAY...
WHICH GAVE ME A WHOLE NEW LESSON IN ELECTRIC CORDS AND THEIR PLUGS
THE NORMAL IS THE OLD VERTICAL, VERTICAL-- OR MORE MODERN VERTICAL, VERTICAL, ROUND-- THESE OLD TYPE HEATERS ARE HORIZONTAL HORIZONAL ROUND-- NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A VERY SIMILAR HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL ROUND.. TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE DIFFERENCE.
