the puppy from CZ-- i know there is a rule about pups must be 16 weeks old with a rabies shot given 30 days prior---- but it goes on to say "except in countries on the rabies free list which is---- Albania, Andorra, Austria, Azores, Balearic Islands, Belgium, Cabrera, Channel Islands, Corsica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Formentera, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Ibiza, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Majorca, Malta, Minorca, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway (except Svalbard), Portugal, San Marino, Spain (except Ceuta and Melilla), Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.
so i am hoping. stay tuned.. i am supposed to pay for the pup today. WITH HOPES TO HAVE THE PUP[ ARRIVE ABOUT MAY 30
WITH PREGNANCY IN MIND... I LISTED ALL THE FEMALES WE HAVE "FARMED OUT" AND CHECKED THEM OVER FOR VACCINES.. APPARENTLY--- IF TEH MOM IS UP TP DATE ON HER VACCINES SHE WILL PRODUCE COLOSTRUM WITH MORE ANTIBODIES.. HAPPILY MOST OF OUR FEMALES ARE UP TO DATE--- NOW TO LOOK OVER THE POSSIBLE MALES.... THEY DON'T NEED NUTTIN-- PERHAPS THAT IS A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS...
natasha/mayhem report-- she hAS A HARD TO SEE BALD SPOT ON THE POINT OF HER SHOULDER WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A POINT OF IMPACT WHEN SHE FELL OFF SOME STONE WALL OR SOMETIGN-- AT ANY RATE... WE ARE GOING TO XRAY IT TODAY- 11 AM - ALONG THE LARGE BELLY OF ONE PUP.
***
ANOTHER PROBLEM OF TEH DAY ----WHICH CAMERA PEOPLE WILL BE SEEING HAPPEN--
IT TAKES 9 VEHICLES AND 4 TRAILERS TO RUN THIS SHOW AND I HATE SEEING ANY OF THEM IN THE G-TENT--- SO TRYING TO HIDE THEM OUT OF THE WAY OF PEOPLE AND CAMERAS... , YET ACCESSIBLE--- WILL BE THE CHORE TODAY. WITH 12 ACRES YOU WOULD ASSUME.......
****
THE LOGIC QUESTION OF THE DAY IS--- IF YOU DO AN ULTRASOUND ON A FEMALE DOG AND THE REPORT IS "YES-- PREGNANT " THEN SHE PROBABLY IS PREGNANT-- IF TEH REPORT SAYS NO- THAT CAN MEAN "NO BABIES SEEN" WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN NOT PREGNANT. -- TEH NO DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME RELAIBLILTY AS THE YES.
IN ALOT OF CASES A "NO" IS MORE DIFFICULT TO PROVE.
AS IT READS NOW..... TO GO AND BUY A GUN YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT MENTALLY DERANGED...-- MAYBE CHANGING THE LAW TO READ YOU MUST PROVE YOU ARE SANE TO BUY A GUN-- THAT WOULD ELIMINATE MOST OF HUMANITY RIGHT THERE.
**
I HAVE 3 RIFLES IN THE CORNER OF MY BEDROOM- OTHER THAN SWINGING THEM AND HITTING SOMEONE OVER THE HEAD, I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEM-- ONE HAS THAT STICK FOR POUNDING THE POWDER IN THE THING SOMEWHERE.-- I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT OF GETTING A GUN PERMIT SO I COULD SELL THEM... THAT ONE WITH TEH WOODEN POWDER POUNDER IS AN ANTIQUE- AND VALUABLE - I AM TOLD....BECAUSE MOST HAVE LOST THE POWDER POUNDER.
****
NOW THE NEWS---DEAF PERSON SLUGGING THE GUY WHO HIT THE DOG ON THE AIRPLANE.. A NEW YORK REPORTEER CALLED ME WHILE I WAS 1/2 ASLEEP LAST NIGHT AND WANTED AN INTERVIEW ABOUT DANES AS SERVICE DOGS. THERE AE MORE REPORTERS CALLING BACK TODAY.
I HAVE ONLY SEEN A QUICK VIDEO- DURING WHICH THE DOG BEHAVED PERFECTLY-- LYING DOWN TIL ALL THE CONFUSION STARTED THEN WENT DIRECTLY TO THE HANDLER... IT WAS THE PEOPLE WHO MISBEHAVED- I WOULD LIKE TO THINK ANY OF OUR RECIPIENTS WOULD CLOBBER ANYONE WHO SLUGGED THEIR DOG. I AM TOLD...... THE SLUGGER TRIED TO LEAVE THE SCENE AND TEH SLUGGEE CHASED HIM...-- THE AIRLINE HAS NAME AND ADDRESS OF BOTH SO THO CHASING WASN'T NECESSARY- UNDER THE CONDITIONS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR... IT LOOKS APPROPRIATE TO ME.
***
I DO HAVE ONE OTHER HEAVY DUTY COMMENT...
THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, IF--- WHEN OUR SCHOOLS INSIST ON TEACHING A SECOND LANGUAGE, ASL WOULD BE THAT SECOND LANGUAGE TO EVERYBODY-
AFTER A TOTAL OF 6 "SCHOOL YEARS"--- MY PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT SPANISH ( AND LATIN) WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE USEFUL IN ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ELSE.

TODAY WAS MY PLASMA EXCHANGE DAY. WHICH I CALL MY OIL CHANGE. PIXIE AND I GO TO THE HOSPITAL EVERY 3 WEEKS FOR THIS AND GET MY BLOOD ALL CLEANED OUT AND REFUSED UP. PHEW SO HAPPY TO HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS TOUGH WEEK AND MY MS IN FULL GEAR. FIGHTING THAT FLAIR SO I DON’T END UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A STAY WITH PIXIE HAS BEEN A TOUGH ONE BUT, FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT TODAY’S TREATMENT HELPS SOME.
PIXIE ROCKED IT AGAIN! SHE’S ROCKSTAR. AS I PUT ON HER VEST SHE HAD HER TAIL WAGGING AWAY, READY TO WORK. THIS GIRL JUST LOVES TO MAKE MY DARKEST DAYS SO MUCH BRIGHTER. SHE WALKED WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH, TAIL WAGGING AND BRACED TIGHT TO ME. SHE WAS TELLING ME MOM I GOT YOU. AS WE STOPPED AND WAITED FOR THE ELEVATOR I GOT A BIG KISS, AS IF TO SAY “ SEE MOM I’M SO HAPPY AND I GOT YOU”. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE APRIL 8TH I GOT TO WORK AND WALK WITH PIXIE KNOWING SHE WAS HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY AND WANTED TO WORK. FOR THE 1ST TIME JIMMY GOT TO STAND BACK AND WATCH US GLOW AND SHINE TOGETHER. HE WALKED ALONG OUR SIDE BUT I HAD MY GIRL RIGHT THERE THE WAY WE ALWAYS WORKED.
WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME PIXIE WAS STILL IN THE MOOD TO KEEP PROVING TO ME HOW STRONG SHE IS. SHE HOPPED OUT OF THE CAR AND CAME TO MY DOOR TO GET ME AND THERE WE WHERE AGAIN WALKING AS ONE!
