Thanks to the people on the Internet who cringe quietly when things don't go perfectly and they never can ...we have a lot of new volunteers here who are learning and I will catch up with them eventually but I can't be everywhere -----yesterday's confusion was one of sizzle's puppies had more seizures and had to be sent to Annie at the Rainbow Bridge -------she must have some kid that needs a puppy up there . By way of general interest this puppy had a strange skin tag on the side of his face---- the only ones I have ever seen this on before were two puppies long ago that also had seizures and they're the only ones I ever saw that had this funny skin tag on the side of their face ---Donna is the one that remembered them ----- the veterinarian said that there were more problems than that with the pup and that we did the right thing which is always reassuring.... however we are down one...... 17 now
Used to be before George retired he would drop by and wave his hands over the litters just kind of listen to their hearts and lungs and a 3 minute exam with each pop and I'm wondering if I can get him to do that again------ alternately put them in the back of my car and drive them somewhere where somebody with a good set of ears can just wave their hand over the general health . Raising animals or people is not an exact science
I dare say I put more thought into breeding animals than the breeding of most people ----well I probably shouldn't get into that... There's so many things I shouldn't get into there's hardly anything left to write about ..... which is why historically I've written dissertations on toilet seats that pinch and how I would like to redesign the state police . I've written about 3000 of these things ------would you believe it !!!
Training... I do try and give these some generic interest - pamala collected some and gave me the list of Of the daily doggies which have training comments .My way of training Danes is very different then the usual Golden retriever yellow lab methods I I say my dogs are educated not trained and the education starts at three weeks which is about where we are right now with the two new litters we have oh siz and mazys .
I will probably never write another book so Pam collected some of these comments from the daily doggies---- I have not re read them but she thought they were interesting so here they are

I am certainly no expert on much of anything but I do have an accumulation of knowledge that I try and share with people who have not been exposed to the same kind of thing ...like boiling eggs that peel -- I did look into that at one point from the national eg g board ... And they said that fresh eggs don't peel well then if you leave them in the icebox for two weeks then peel boil and peel they'll be fine .. I have tried that and it seems pretty true eggs right out of the nest that shell is stuck to the rest of the egg and they're not pretty .
Speaking of FY eyes about eggs -- I never realized there was such a thing as a Julian calendar (That numbers the days starting January 1st with one in using just plain numbers all the way to December 31st ) and that egg cartones had that Julian date on the end of each one to know when they were put on the marketlaid... or whatever .
I hav e a lot of that “Accidental intelligence”
A great deal of what I write comes from the camera people who watch us 24 hours a day everything we do the good the bad and the different . mostly it's enjoyable to have these followers making friendly comments or suggestions or criticisms but every once in awhile something negative will get going and it it would be devastating if it wasn't usually so ridiculous ---
.I remember when this first started with the cameras September of 2012 there was a learning. For all these camera people and one well meaning person called me at 2:00 AM to say there were birds flying around the barn . after that we had a great discussion about birds in the barn being normal and they weren't to call Me at 2:00 AM unless the barn was on fire and they've been very good about that we did have a donkey fall into the water tub and get upside down and they called .
These camera people have also been carefully trained not to publish any photos Of Me running out to deal with some puppy problem in my pajamas because the added complication when I run out is that I have to bend over at a serious angle to deal with puppies at my feet and this can present plumber problems . sometimes I don't have time to think about it .
Someday I will write a dali doggy regarding the tensile strength of elastic in pajama bottoms
now there's a good one .
... I know Courtney has received lilo... thnks to megan flying out to california and back in one day. I do not do facebook ---- but She apparently has some Facebook page with some interesting details and I did try and find it but Facebook doesn't know my name ---my computer doesn't know my name ---and all it wanted to show Me was two people racing forklifts . great is my frustration with computers .
I remember the good old days when you turned it on---- the screen was black----you told it what to do ----and it did it .
I don't know if Megan is now quarantined for coming into Massachusetts but if so I hope she can come in her car to our driveway and we'll send may out to her so she could take her to lunch . May could stand all the lunches we could give her --she's awfully thin
dictating this thing is wonderful but instead of correcting typos I have to eliminate some names I call this computer as it is extremely creative in the errors it can make .
