NOW IT IS ABOUT THE THERMOMETER-- HOPEFULLY IT IS NOT A HUGE MISTAKE TO LET YOU SEE THAT..----WHAT IT IS THERE FOR IS TO LET ME SEE IF THE HEAT GOES OFF ENTIRELY.....-I AM NOT SURE WHEN I THINK IT IS TOO LOW-- WE ARE BATTLEING SOME BITTER COLD WEATHER OUTSIDE SO THE DIFFERENCE IS MONUMENTAL EVEN IF IT IS NOT "TOASTY" IT IS LIVEABLE-- KEEP IN MIND THE BACK OF THAT THERMOMETER IS RIGHT BY THE DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE--- AND TO TRY AND GET A GENERIC READING WE HAVE OPENED THE DOOR TO TH E KENNELS 1-8 WHICH HAVE THE FURNACE FOR HEAT-- 9 AND 10 HAVE AN ELECTRIC HEATER BLOWING RIGHT ON KENNEL 10. KEEP IN MIND... IF IT WAS 50 DEGEES OUTSIDE WE WOULD THINK IT WAS WONDERFUL-- ACTUALLY WHERE THEY SLEEP IN KENNEL 10 IS ALSO INTERRESTING-- I DO NOT WANT ANYONE CALLING ME -- I WILL BE WATCHING IT...---PROBLEM IS... IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE FURNACE AND IT GOES OUT... THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BRING ALL 20 DOGS UP TO THE HOUSE- CERTAINLY THERE IS A POINT AT WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO CALL IN ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TO COME TAKE DOGS--OR DISH OUT SOME HOT SOUP TO WARM THEIR INNARDS... BUT I CAN NOT GO TO THE BARN MYSELF ..I WILL BE WATCHING IT. SHUTTING THEM ALL IN AT NIGHT WOULD CERTAINLY RAISE THE TEMP- BUT I HATE THE WORRY OF FIRE IF THEY CAN'T GET OUT. SO I PICK THE LESSOR OF 3 EVILS.--- A WARM BREAKFAST SOUP MIGHT BE AWAY TO GO... BUT LET ME WORRY ABOUT IT.
IT CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN... BUT WHISTLES IN HAWAII SHOULD NOT BLOW EITHER..
*****
WE HAVE TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING FOR DOORS EACEPT METAL FLAPS... I WORRY ABOUT METAL GETTING TWISTED AND KEEPING THEM OUT---SO I DON'T WANT ANYTHING THAT CAN NOT BE PUSHED ASIDE... WHICH UNFORTUNATELY MEANS IT CAN ALSO BE A CHEW TOY..-- THERE IS A PRODUCT TO KEEP FORKLIFTS ABLE TO DRIVE THRU AND DRIO BACK IN PLACEE VINYL STRIPS SOLD BY FARMTEK IN THEIR CLOSEOUT SECTION , THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD.. EXCEPT ALSO EATABLE.. SO I WENT ONE STEP FURTHIER POLY MAX "STUFF" THAT STUFF AT 1/16TH MUST BE BENDABLE-- THERE WAS SOME ON TH E CLOSEOUT SECTIONFOR $25 A SHEET -- I THINK IT SAID 48 X 120 --- SO I WENT TO ORDER 4 AND TEH SHIPPING WAS TO BE $140-- WHOA...-- SO I WENT BACK AND SAID HOW MUCH TO ORDER 6 MORE AND IT SAID $140 -- SO I DID THAT AND HAD THEM ADD ALL THE VINYL STIPS IT HAD IN THE CLOSEOUT SECTION- ALL STILL $140-- WE WILL BE IN THE DESIGN MODE SHORTLY.. IT IS 100% WASHABLE SO WOULD BE OK IN THE ICU TOO... IF IT WORKS... IF THEY DON'T EAT IT.

Dear Carlene and all at SDP, Today one year ago I was in the guest house and Steve brought Wrinkle in to meet me. That day my life changed, and changed for the better. I'm sitting on the couch right now and petting Wrinkle thinking of this past year. We've done so much together, I can't imagine my life without her. Before Wrinkle, I was starting to lose my confidence in being out alone. I was so nervous about falling in public, making a spectacle of myself. NOT ANYMORE! With Wrinkle at my side I can do anything! This year has transformed my life. We work, we practice, and we PLAY! Through all of it my thoughts are often of SDP, Carlene, Steve, Megan, Devin, Shannon, Linda and of course my buddy Tanner! The kindness you have shown to this screwed up vet, a complete stranger, has renewed my belief in humanity. I've said it before but it bears repeating, Wrinkle has given me my life back. My constant companion, the giver of unconditional love and encouragement, my "little girl". There are no words to truly explain what your gift of Wrinkle has done for me, my wife, my children. Please know that ALL of you at SDP and the whole CP nation are bringing hope and joy back into the lives of the recipients. I just want all of you to know that you are making this world a better place, you are changing lives, and you can close your eyes tonight knowing the lives you've touched appreciate all you're hard work and all your kindness. Thank you all so much, all our love, Wrinkle and Stev15 2018
