THE GERMAN PPP'S AND PAPERWORK-- I SHUDA KNOWED-- THE GERMANS HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED....- I THOUGHT WE BORDERED ON EXCESSIVE WHEN WE RECORD EVERY BIRTH/ TIME / WEIGHT ETC... THEY HAVE AN OFFICIAL FORM... WHICH INCLUDES TYPE MOTHER, AMMOUNT OF MILK, INTERVAL BETWEEN PUPS? (1/2 TO 5 HOURS) , breach /, SCROTUM, NUTRITIONAL STATE AND COLOR... ONE HARL ONE MERLE AND 3 BLACKS... FROM BLACK X HARL PARENTS.
SINCE I HAVE SUCH A PERFECT PAIR paula and penny...- I ASKED DEVLIN TO TRY AND GET THEM PAIRED LIKE I USED TO DO--- IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS, I USED TO USE A HORSE HALTER AS A HARNESS AND AFTER THE INITIAL CONFUSION-- CLIP 2 DOGS TOGETHER- THEY LEARNED TO STRIDE OFF TOGETHER AND BY CALLING ONE THAN THE OTHER, I COULD BEND TEHM INTO TROTTING FIGURE 8'S WHICH WAS KINDA FUN... SO DEVIN IS LOOKING FOR MY COLLECTION OF HALTERS... PROBABLY LONG GONE TO THE DONKEY RESCUE OUTFIT ... CLOTH HALTERS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE--
*****
EXPENSIVE.... JODY FOUND THAT THE STOVE SHE IS WORKING ON SOLD FOR $1300- I KNEW IT WAS A GOODIE-- A JOTUL-- THING OF BEAUTY AFTER 3 TUBES OF BLACKING SCRUBBED IN WITH OLD TOOTHBRUSHES... JODY HAS DONE A SOPECTACULAR JOB...

teh daily fyi----
WHILE NAPPING IN MY CAR....JUDY WOKE ME " THERE IS A HUGE TRUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH A 350 POUND ROUND THING THAT NEEDS TO BE UNLOADED..." NEWLY AWAKE... I RODE DOWN IN THE TRACTOR ( AIRCONDITIONED) AND DID NOT PUT ON THE FORKS FOR LIFTING-- I REALLY SHOULD HAVE... i carried it up the drive precariously balanced- all ready to tip backwards into my shaterable window... we made it.
** IT WAS THE 15 sheets of 5' BY 10' POLYMAx bent into a circle, on a pallet-- people should know more about that stuff... 100% post consumer really tough/ washable/ bendable -- and from farmtek.com's scratch and dent section about $30 a sheet...( plus freight) which means order a bunch at a time-- we use it alot of places... the walls in the meat cutting shack-- the label brags about walls of car washes-- with us... mostly in teh doggie doors-- where we tried for years to use old rugs to keep out hte draft-- the dogs ate those rugs nearly daily-- this polymax stuff lasts months before a corner gets very chewed... i do not know of a place to buy that kind of stuff locally-- bright white-- it is also one huge whiteboard for the wipe off messages... 1/16" thick it can be sawed-- or even cut with strong sheers- walls of kindergarden shojuld be of teh stuff-- for budding artists...
********** cutting and pasting....
LAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO BAR HARBOR, GRETCHEN HAD HER FIRST CAMPING TRIP AND LOVED IT! WE WENT MINI-GOLFING, WENT TO SAND BEACH, THUNDER HOLE, GOT ICE CREAM AND WENT SHOPPING! THIS TRIP WOULDN'T OF BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT GRETCHEN TO ASSIST ME! SHE DID WONDERFUL AND GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON HOW AMAZING SHE IS! SHE PREVENTED ME FROM FALLING MANY TIMES AND HELPED ME WALK ON ROUGH GROUND AND UP AND DOWN SOOO MANY STAIRS.
LIFE IS MUCH EASIER WITH YOU BY MY SIDE!

Good morning Carlene, I hope all is well and thank you for the nice write up’s on the doggie daily. I do have to pinch myself sometimes to realize how far I’ve come but I really do owe it all to you. Thank you for giving me that chance.
So the reason I am writing ( emailing ) is because I am getting ready to go on vacation to Maine and the resort I am staying at is requiring a letter or verification to prove dash’s authenticity. Somehow along the way I have lost her ID card. But anyways if you could do this for me it would greatly be appreciated. I truly do hope to see you guys for dog fest. It’s been long overdue. Have a great day and keep doing what you’re doing. You were changing many peoples lives. God bless and love you all, Scott and Dash
