running this joint ain't easy ----always something-- the dogs are the easy part ! even chaos is complaining....standing glaring at bentley for being in the prefereed sofa... so he had to move grumbling onto the big sofa with sizzle.... not his favorite... it is terriblly hard to think with chaos eyes boring into the back of my head.... and if i look at her, she wll move her glance to the fact that bentley is in the bed she wants... who said dogs can't talk???
i think today we will start the ggruel feeding of gabby's 6 pups-- so hey can soon move to the kitchen--- and audrey can take their place in the nursery... her firwt due date is oct 4th...

janine has a forever home for violet and lee... and none too soon, as she has another prego at her house... it is easier for everyone if the "on camera" stall is the nursery becaus e all teh camera people can keep track-- and call if they see a foot protruding...
i should get the "nosebags" today .. to get some feed into some of those donkeys that are skinney... withougt the dominant FAT donkey getting any... it will be fun trying to get the donkeys to undersand the food goes with them if they move... good project for volunteers...

.. hopefully today accept delivery of our new dump trailer--it is ? a CAM trailer 12 feet long with on board ramps so we can take the tractor places ( if we remove the back hoe first?) but mostly it will be used for trash to the dump and manure to i don't know where.... a new trailer is sooo exciting...just think... i should be able to go to the "transfer station" with odd rejectws from farm living... and just push a button and have it dump..... the old trailer would dump with persuasion --- like a jump cable-- usually left in the battery box becasue teh battery has not worked in years....-- however.. because i t is usually there, in a known place.... it is prime for being used to jump someone's car and left somewhere else-- in which case my friendly dump manager will loan me his-- for a $10 tip...-- this transfer statoion is a huge ? 300 foot square concreete pad with a 20 ffot high concrete wall to push the stuff against... the pusher is a monster loader- the kind joined in the middle...-- the pushed stuff then gets lifted into a 53' canvas covered trailer- and away it goes north to maine..----hopefully no where near the bottling of poland springs water supply...

chaos has an upset tummy today.. almost typical of an early morning tummy-- empty so she tossed yellow goop..-- she seems to be resting comfortably now...-- i always worry about bloat--- we have not had many bloat problems.... but when you do-- it is big, quick, and expensive.. this is why we suggest all our recipients maintain a separate bank account for emergency vet bills...$3000 is a good minimum balance to have in there. because if anything bad happens, it will happen on a weekend and that means 24 hour emergency clinic-- where they don't let you in the door unless you give them your credit card.
i remember -- one of our recipient's dogs-- on a sunday--developed a nose bleed.... splattering blood all over everywhere... and the clinic would not let her see a vet because she had run there withoiut her credit cards...even tho she had coverage from the VA... she could not prove it on a sunday...

do we have any cp's near --
apparently she is running a fundraiser for the guyy who got screamed at with his dane...--i thought maybe it would be good to talk to him-- thngs like va vet coverage if his dog can pass with accredited adi.. (SDP)
