dec 29 2020 food

these  pups and  their ears.....apparently it is a variation of normal dane... because one of our pups  amethest has ears just like that 

 AMETHYST BUCKEYE'S NATURAL EARS, they seem quite similar to the two girls.
Amethyst is a Perfect Pet with Jeri and Steve and Amethyst's mom, Audrey Starlet, an SDP Dane.
amethest is wilbur x audry... wilbur is jasper  x mischa and audry is bentley x  scarlott  sp that is the 100% from our breedings...of course 11 generatiosn back you could have something show up.

here's one for you  re breeding true.....
my sister and i have a birthmark behind one knee  pretty much the same.... and my daughter janine has one-- same place very like mine...

moving.  on..
yesterday in a effort to drive my car somewhere... anywhere.. i ended up at the local small plane airport, wandering further i had seen a large collection of grey something off the highway.and decided to see what it was... turning ina driveway that clearly said a bunch of things i did not understand.. i waved at the guard in the little box at the open gate and drove on...finally being stoppend by another gate andf a usps truck .  she explained to me that the first guard was actually a  manequin....

The driver of the post office truck stopped at ask if she could help and I explained I was just wandering around and wondered what that Gray mass was off in the Woods .. she said that's FEMA project  and she noticed I had Bentley and sizzle in the back and said oh I know somebody in Ipswich that raises those --- I said    do you really ???  and Turns out she has worked for 30 years for the post office and she's a friend of tracy's who works here ..  and this woman ---I forgot her name ---said that she was retiring next year and our ultimate goal in her life is the come volunteer at the Great Dane place in Ipswich so we talked for a long time .. she then told me there was a dog park kind of across the driveway which I didn't know so after I talked to her I went there just as a man with a Great Dane was coming out of the dog park so I had to give him a calendar or two it ended up talking to him for a long time his Dane was bought in New Hampshire and it was of a grand championship line or something like that it definitely was a black it could have been black out of blue because it had no white it's hard to find a harlekin bred Dane with no white it does happen but .. at any rate I realized if you want to sit around and talk to people your local dog park is an perfect place to go ,... generally the people are very friendly ---well they certainly seem to be ..it was a very interesting thing to do
 
on the rest of that trip up and down this driveway I went through a quarter of a mile of shipping containers some labels things I didn't understand and some not labeled ..  the Postal employee told me that's where emergency equipment was stored ,I always wondered how every town in the United States seems to be able to come up with emergency equipment pretty quick .. and certainly in this Beverly area there's a lot of it stored in shipping containers ..
  ------
I don't know how the town of Ipswich feels about shipping containers I probably shouldn't ask seeing as we have one already without asking .. in which we store our dog food which we get from purina thank you---- in the amount of 8 pallets of dry food every two months for three or four years and counting ... it's a wonderful food of course .. it's the food I was feeding when I had to buy it so now that it's donated it's an even better food ..
 
with very little exception the 450 dogs in my master list of dogs I've bred have been raised and maintained on pure rena pro plan I can remember going up to Sam's with Megan and loading up the  Cart with as much dog food as would fit in my car .. almost on a weekly basis ..  Even before that ... when I lived in Lynnfield .. I bought purita ,--   and at that time I was in some kind of program where if I collected the  weight circles I would get a Bose radio .. I had so damn many Bose radios that all my relatives and friends had one and I still had a couple in the closet .. so when I talked to the officers of furina to try and get donated food ..they could tell I was a bona fide pure rena user by the number of Bose radios I had ordered //.
 
there's only two places where I don't use that pro plan ---  one is chaos and Bentley are inclined to gain too much weight  on the regular so I get 2 bags of purina weight management through the pure rena store online ..
the other place I can't use pierina is in my yuppy puppy ..  because the normal pro plan that I feed the pellets are just too big but probably 1/2 inch maybe .. and the small dog purina is too small probably 1/4 of an inch diameter .. so I will use anything else that has the right size to fit through the yuppy puppy .. which at the moment I find chicken soup for the dog lovers soul .. has the correct size pellet ..  seeing as that's hardly what are dogs get for nourishment I really don't know what the nutritional contents of it is .
 
100 years ago ,  one of the volunteers took 20 different bags of dog food and made a spreadsheet of the top or the 1st ten ingredients of each one ..  I do have that on my computer .. and I get a kick out of a dog being taken off period of pro plan because they're allergic to something or other and they must now eat some kind of dog food that the person sells who was offering the opinion that they are allergic ...
dog food can be a religion to some .. it is not to me---   it's dog food .. and purine is a big company I know damn well that if there was a better dog food to be made they would make it --  and charge more for it or whatever -- they have the ability and the staff to know all sorts of nutritional things ----well I am far more inclined to listen to them than  the person who tells me I shouldn't feed anything besides raw chicken necks ..  Or that granulated seaweed  which is pushed by the company out of Poughkeepsie NY .
I don't think our dogs  could look any better than they now do.
 
I will be the first to admit the great Danes have a very fuzzy gut .. but I  heare about a dog being allergic to pro plan , I think whoever---   usually a vet ---is saying that as a diagnosis of last resort because they haven't figured out what is the problem ...
which I think is usually a combination of some bug or worm ..   And if you try enough of the cures for diarrhea you will eventually find 1 that so far has fixed  every dog I've ever owned .. it can be pretty exciting in the meantime .  

p.s.  FYI   our shipping container cost $2500 delivered.
