I HAD TO SHARE......

Good morning Carlene,
I was wondering and hoping since it is getting closer to having puppies, could you have your overnighters not zero in to get just the bottoms or the heads of the dogs. It's like they don't want us to see them,
Like all night they had it on the floor in the puppy room and zizzle is on the futon. Just hoping you can make these changes.
we've put up with not hearing the donkeys or the dogs...… because they turn them off in the morning and most of the time don't turn them on at night. Which makes me wonder if they yell bad at the dogs that they don't want us to hear? You have never had it like that before this new kennel manger.
I realize that it's a personal place, but you are asking for donations from us , but it keeps dwindling on what we can see and enjoy.
I just wanted to say my piece and hopefully be able to enjoy the new puppies and SDP at it's fullest.
Thank you so much,
*************
you have put up with WHAT???? a SDP volunteer is not meeting up with your expectations..?
the guy who turns on the sound at night is a volunteer-- a retired guy who comes here every day to chase the chickens in and turn on the sound.. and he has done that very religiously-- BLESS HIM !!
i don't have a new kennel manager
AND NO ONE IS YELLING AT THE DOGS-- THAT WOULD WAKE ME UP AND BELIEVE ME--- WAKING ME UNNECESSARILY IS DANGEROUS..
MOST TEH OVERNIGHTERS DO NOT MANAGE THE CAMERAS-- IT IS NOT A SIMPLE "MOVE IT" THEY ARE SCREWED TO THE WALL AND TO MOVE IT REQUIRES A COMPUTER CONNECTED TO SOME PLACE IN GEORGIA.
last night - i set the camera on gabby where i thought she would be lying down..... and i went to bed.
\there is no way i can put in any more time trying to keep everyone happy--
IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE THIER HEADS, TEH N YOU MAY ASSUME NOTHING IS HAPPENING -- OR THE INTERNET IS DOWN... IF THEY ARE IN LABOR-- I WILL BE UP. IN THE MEANTIME I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP..- WELL ---MAKE THAT MY SANITY SLEEP..
AAAAAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH

GRETCHEN AND I HAVE HAD A BUSY SUMMER SO FAR, WE STARTED THE SUMMER BEING INPATIENT AT BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND AT SPAULDING REHABILITATION HOSPITAL FOR TWO WEEKS TRYING TO REGAIN STRENGTH. I WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL IN MY WHEELCHAIR FULL TIME AND CAME OUT WALKING WITH JUST GRETCHEN AGAIN! AFTER THAT WE TOOK A 5 WEEK SUMMER COURSE AND HAVE BEEN WORKING AND GOING TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS IN BOSTON AND HAVE PHYSICAL THERAPY WEEKLY. THE PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT, LOTS OF FALLING, TRIPPING AND LOSING MY BALANCE, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY IS PART OF SMA. THANKFULLY I HAVE GRETCHEN TO LEAN ON WHEN WALKING, “BRACING” FOR STAIRS AND GETTING OFF THE GROUND, HELPING ON ROUGH TERRAIN AND GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE TO WALK AND SO MUCH MORE. RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PLACES TO DO OUR INTERNSHIP THIS FALL, WE ARE BOTH VERY EXCITED TO BE ALMOST DONE WITH OUR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE AND ALREADY CAN’T WAIT FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL! IF IT WASN’T FOR GRETCHEN I WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO THING ON MY OWN, I WOULD BE STUCK IN MY WHEELCHAIR AND WORRYING ABOUT GETTING FALLING. SHE’S TRULY A MIRACLE AND I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SERVICE DOG PROJECT
CORTNEY & GRETCHEN
NICHOLAS
SO TODAY MARKS 4 YEARS SINCE I HEARD THE WORDS “YOU HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS”. I’M NOT CELEBRATING THAT I HAVE THIS DISEASE, BUT I AM CELEBRATING THE DAY TO DAY FIGHT THAT MS IS AND HOW I’M STILL IN THE FIGHT AND WILL NOT QUIT.
IN FEBRUARY 2018 I WAS GIVEN A FRIEND NICHOLAS TO HELP ME WITH THE DAY TO DAY LIFE DEALING WITH THIS DISEASE. HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME HE DOESN’T QUESTION IT, HE DOESN’T LEAVE MY SIDE. WHEN HE CAN TELL I’M GETTING FATIGUED HE NUDGES ME TO TELL ME HEY YOU NEED TO SIT.
SO HERE’S TO 4 YEARS DOWN AND MANY MORE TO GO.
