IPM WORKDAY AT THE FARM WAS A MUCH HUGGGGGER SUCCESS THAN I ANTICIPATED --- THANK HEAVENS WE HAD SOOOOO MANY RAKES LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR'S CLEAN--
I HAD PLANNED TO GET A LOAD OF TOP SOIL FROM - BRICK ENDS- BUT TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT AND HAD A BIG NORMAL DUMP TRUCK ? 8 YARDS" DUMPED-- WHICH ALL TEH CAMERA PEOPLE WATCHED BY PUPPY HILL-
'UP THE DRIVEWAQY CAME A FAMILY TO VOULUNTTER- AND MR... WAS/IS... A LANDSCAP[ER TYPE- AND HAD THAT SPREAD BEFORE TEH 30 PEOPLE FROM IPM EVEN GOT THERE ( WITH MARK AND OUR TRACTOR WORKING SOOOO WELL. )
I CALLED BRICK ENDS AGAIN AND THEY CAME RIGHTO VER WITH ANOTHER TRUCKFULL JUST AS TEH IPM PEOPLE WERE ARRIVEING AND TRYING TO PARK AMID A DUMPPING TRUCK WAY UP IN TEH AIR...- THERE WERE A BUNCH OF TEHM-- 30 MAYBE??? AND CITY TYPES THAT PITCHED RIGHT IN SO TEH FLAT FIELD GOT RAKED BY AQBOUT HALF OF THEM... -- I AM TOLD-.. I WORKED THE TRACOTR DUMPING LOADS AROUND TEH GUEST HOUSWE AREA AND THE SECOND HALF SPREAD THAT -- you can see that dark soil rom the driveway camera --SO WE ARE IN TERRRIFFIC SHAPE- ONE MORE TRUCKFULL FOR TEH FLAT FIELD AND WE JUST MIGHT HAVE GREEEN SOMETHING.-- THIS IS TERRIFFIC "STUFF" AND WILL HOPEFULL GROW GREEN STUFF LIKE GRASS - I EVEN LET A REAL CITY GUY FROM NEW YORK DRIVE TEH TRACTOR BACK TO IT'S RESTING PLACE -- HE WAS THRILLED AND EVERYONE ELSE TOOK PICTURES...

MR AND MRS XXXX SOMEONE WHOS NAME I FORGOT... AR COMNING TO PICK YO MOCHA... A REALLY NICE DOG-- EXCEPT HE PACES... - ALOT OF DOGS PACE- ( i.e. front and back legs on the same side move forward together-- when the "normal way is for diagional feet to move togetehre. TRY WALKING THAT WAY YOURSELF.... FEELS WIERD...) some notable paqcing dogs have been donald-- beautiful haarlequin i gave away who paced happily for 14 years and tehn perry cole who's pacing was never AN issue.. i just don't like to put out a stability service dog who paces... to me it seems abnormal- even if they are quite comfortable pacing-- they lookk wierd.. he did not pace as a pup... some cp's haVE SENT ME PICTURES OF HIM AS A PUP USING DIAGIONAL FEET.... HE COUDL HAVE BEEN HURT IN THE ROUGH AND TUMBLE EXISTANCE OF CRAQZY ACRES... AT ANY RATE HE IS OFF TO BE A THERAPY DOG... PRETTY WELL TRAINED... I WANT TO MAKE SUER WE GET A FEW MINUTES TRAINING IN MR AND MRS XXXXXX-- THEY WILL GET THE LECTURE-- DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THEY CAN CURE HIM WITH SURGERY-- THAT HAS BEEN TRIED WITH A DISASTEROUS RESULT-- BEDSIDES HE IS VERY HAPPY PACING.... I CNA HEAR IT NOW " IT IS AN ABNORMALITY THAT IS PRE ARTHRITIC" -- DON'T BUY THAT ONE.... LIFE IS PRE ARTHERITIC.-- JUST LIKE EVERY HORSE IS PRE NAVICULAR - IT IS A FAVORITE EXPRESSION OF TEH MEDICAL PROFESSION..

SPEAKING OF TERRIBLE ASSUMPTIONS--- SOMEONE STARTED A RUMOR THAT WALTER WAS A WOBBLER--- AFTER MEG PUT OUT A VIDEO OF HIM WHEN HE WAS PEEING.... IN FACT ONE OF THE THINGS HE DOES/DID HAVE IS A BAD CASE OF UTI COMPLETE WITH RED piddle - IMMEDIATELY SOMEONE STARTED TEH WOBBLER BIT WHEN IN FACT EVERY INCH OF THAT DOG WAS XRAYED- PROVING THAT IS ONE THING HE DOES NOT HAVE.. GOTTA LOVE RUMORS-- ESPECIALY WHEN THEY HAVE A NEGATIVE TINGE TO THEM........

MORNING CARLENE, TUMBLER AND I HAD OUR FIRST VISIT AT A NURING HOME TODAY. TUMBLER DID VERY WELL FOR FIRST VISIT. SHE WAS BOMBARDED WITH ATTENTION. WE WALKED THE HALLWAYS WITH ACTIVITY DIRECTOR AND SHE WOULD ASK THE PATIENT IN THE ROOM IF THEY WANTED TO SEE A DOG. IF SO, WE WOULD GO IN. YOU COULD SEE IMMEDIATELY HOW SURPRISED THEY WERE TO SEE A 120 POUND BLACK AND WHITE GREAT DANE. THE EXPRESSION OF HAPPINESS ALL OVER THEIR FACES. THE STAFF AND PATIENTS WERE VERY APPRECIATED. WE HAVE COMMITTED TO ONCE A WEEK. NEXT VISIT WE HAVE A LIST OF ROOMS THAT HAVE REQUEST A VISIT. TUMBLER DEFINITELY BROUGHT SOME SUNSHINE TODAY. AGAIN I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE TUMBLER’S MOM AND ONE PROUD MOM I AM.
KARI AND TENNESSEE TUMBLER
P.S. SEE YOU ALL MAY 4TH
