PUPS ARE FINE...POOR SARA WAS ON ALONE TIL 1AM... SHD HAD TO FEED THE MONSGERS IN THE KITCHEN.... AND GABBY DID VERY NEARLY SIT ON ONE-- SO SOMEONE RIGHTLY CALLED AN I GOT UP FOR A WHILE... I WAS AWAKE ANYWAAY.... SO I SHIELDED TEH LENS WITH POO PICKERS AND NAPPED THERE TIL BETH ARRIVED.
NEXT LESSON WHEN CALLING..... ONCE SEVERAL OF YOU DECIDE I MUST BE CALLED-- SKIP THE POLITE CONVERSATION... ONCE THAT YOU HAVE DETERMINED I AM FULLY AWAKE...JUST GIVE ME WHAT WHERE-- ALL I NEED IS " WAKE UP LOOKS LIKE SHE IS SITTING ON A PUP-- " AT WHICH POINT IF I SLAM THE PHONE DOWN, I AM AWAKE... IF I CARELFULLY PLACE IT IN TH EHOLDER, I MIGHT NEED ANOTHER CALL.
*****
I CERTAINLY HAD LOTS OF 2AM BRILLIANT IDEAS FOR THIS DD... MOST OF WHICH I HAVE FORGOTTEN... EXCEPT....
I WATCHED GRACE SPOON FEED THE PUPS IN THE KITCHEN-- THEY ARE DOING WONDERFULLY-- AND GRACE HAS IT DOWN PAT...
I WISH------ I HAD THE CAPABILITY OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE SEGMENTS OF OUR TYPE TRAINING AND SEND IT TO SHEILA O'BRIEN
FOR HER TO PASS ON FOR DISCUSSION.. PROBLEM IS..I GET " SPOON FEEDING??? WHATAREYOU NUTTTS?" BUT IF I COUDL PUT TOGETHER A 3 MINUTE VIDEO STARTING EITHTHIS BUNCH OF PUPS... AND CONTINUING WITH MEGAN MARCHES... TO STANDING FOR FEEDING .. RE-ENTERING THERI KENNELS.. WALKING AROUND WITHOUT LEASHES.. TO ENTERING A CAR FOR TRAINING...FINISHONG WITH GEORGE GOING DOWN THOSE STAIRS WHILE BELLA TALKS TO HER SISTER.... I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD CAUSE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT SOME OTHER PATHS... CHUCK PUT IT WELL... YOU PREPARE THEM TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM..... THAT IS TOTALLY DIFFERNT THAN TRICK TRAINING.
DON'T TELL ME I COULD TAKE SEGMENTS ON MY PHONE AND DROP IT ONTO MY COMPUTER-- BECAUSE.. I JUST PLAIN CAN'T... PUTTING THING ON THIS COMPUTER IS LIKE DROPPING THINFGS IN THAT BLACK HOLE IN THE UNIVERSE/.
I COULD BUY 6 DIFFERENT PHONES AND DO TEH 6 DIFFERNT SEGN=MENTS THAT WAY...-- BUT EVEN THEN I WOULD HAVE THE WRONG PHONE WITH ME AT A RIGHT TIME .. AND GET THAT SCREWED UP TOO.

YESTERDAY'S OTHER EXCITEMENT WAS TEH ARRIVAL OF A PALLET OF DRINKING WATER FROM KATHY GROVER-- WHO IS KATHY SOMETHING ELSEE FROM GROVER CA...ALONG WITH A BOX OF GOODIES...--AT FIRST I THIOUGT THE LONG BLACK THINGS WERE STRANDS OF LICORICE-- TURNS OUT THEY ARE HUGE ELECTRICAL TYE WRAPS-- GRACE FORTUNATELY POINTED THAT OUT TO ME JUST BEFORE I BIT INTO ONE OF THEM.-- THEY WILL MAYBE FREE UP ALL THE LEASHES THAT ARE HOLDING THINGS TOGETHER AROUND THE FARM. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE WATER WILL BE WONDERFUL FOR DOGFEST...
NOW WE HAVE TO FREEZE SOME BLOCKS OF ICE INTHE WALKIN FREEZER AND GET A COOLER OPERATIONAL,.

Long day for Bellow and Edgar yesterday . ( THEY FLEW TO SAN FRAN...)
They went from romping and running in flat field to a 6 hour plane ride , a very bumpy/scary bus ride , squished into a cab and now lounging in the hotel room on the bed with me. We have found a good size area of grass a short walk from the hotel and both of them have approved that it is a good "bathroom spot"
We have mingled and met some really nice people already and we will be meeting up with Molly( peters sister) at noon. After that we will be setting up our table where we will be talking about SDP till around 4
