Maybeeeeee today start the babyfood spoon feedingwith may’s pups…  they have been on twice a day gruel.. plusmay… now if I canstatt the baby food  mid day to ease awayfrom maymore…  I do have  a few cartons  chicken and sweetg potatoe…

I keep forgetting I can dictate this .we do have about four cases of the baby food that we use which is chicken and sweet potato I don't know the brand but earth something or other I'm sure that once we start we will go through it pretty quickly with 18 puppies we don't switch 2 canned pirina for another few weeks yet

 

Speaking of pure rena the dog food did arrive yesterday 8 pallets of dry 7 we're adults and one pallet of puppy food then later in the day the one pallet a wet food arrived we were very lucky to be able to back the truck into the door of the barn And everything out of the way so he couldn't push the whole pallet all the way down the alleyway so it has landed behind the white Doors .  just to refresh your memory we got 7500 pounds of dry food at 938 pounds of wet food yesterday all of which we will go through in the next 2 months which has to be redefined into used food which gets picked up with the PO pickers----- bag and put in the dumpster so it's one thing to look at those eight pallets of dry food I think that's lovely there certainly is but that also has to be at least eight dumpsters full going out of here..   the dumpster gets picked up on a weekly basis that just about works out right .

  that dmpster – or any dumpster  is a juge part of our lives… not often given the proper praise.

I would put him high on the list of who gets vaccinated.  Evenwithout construction materials, it is incfredibler how much trash we ( sdp) make..

 

I personally make about  one grocery bag full of trash   a day…With most of that big excess packaging .

There are so many things that end up in the trash that could be repurposed ..  my most offensive object is the r wonderful little plastic tubs that the dog food comes in They can be used for so many things from lunches to screws and bolts   and we have about 15 of those a day day after day after day and I really like to have them run through the dishwasher there's always room to clean   them -----then bag them for people who could use them -----they are marvelous I think our hayloft has---- according to Donna about 5000 ---so she stopped washing them   I can’t blame her……  but I can't get rid of them fast enough

I know everybody could use 'em . so to set this up send me a piece of snail Mail requesting some and I'll see if I can't get them out of here . linda’s gonna kill me …if I add more stuff to linda’s storeroom..   let me try this..  I bet I can get 36 in one of those postal boxes…   I will personally pay the postage  just to get rid of my guilt.. it pains me  even to see them in redydlikng bin .   ( I typed that  part.. can you tell?)   

   

Not only did we get dog food but it was wrapped is the marvelous corrugated paper slash Cardboard which will be perfect for these 15 Guinea fowl which we are raising in the ICU building kennel 1 the Guinea fowl babies are no longer totally stupid in that they now can eat food out of a dish when they first get here you have to be sure that they have a pretty clear understanding of eating crumbly food so I use a piece of Cardboard with no printing on it and sprinkle food all over which they then begin to pick up now that they've got that memorized I can put it in a dish and watch to be sure they are eating out of the dish the other thing you have to be careful love with baby birds is there is a watering thing which screws on to the top about bell Canning jar and with the very young babies you have to have the kind with only about 1/4 of an inch trough of water or they try and get in it you have to wait till they're older before you could have Lee Canning jar lid with the circles in it

 

mind you that Canning jar   lid   with the circles in it is an absolutely perfect thing to have on anybody's desk full of  m & m candies .

 

The chicken project is absolutely critical to the service dog project in that it's the chickens that provide us with the donations which pay our payroll byway all the chicken breaks on our website

On our web we also have Wayne gretzky's autographed shirt number 99 and Bobby yours autograph books I and poster Please remember those are are in addition To our usual chicken breaks which pay the payroll.

 

I hope I get a lot of requests for those plastic “tubs” -  they are exactly what people buy as containers…   throwing htemin the recycling or dumpster is criminal—and I already have a criminal record  ( see the need for bail money at midnight story)
