FEB 28 2021

 THE BENTLEY FOOTPRINT PROJECT HAS STARTED.. 

LIFT   #1. FOOT....RUB ON INKPAD.. SET  #1 FOOT ON  SLICE OF BROWN BAG.... LIFT #2.  FOOT TO GET THE PRESSURE OF #1 FOOT ON THE BAG....PUT  #2 FOOT DOWN... PICK UP #1 FOOT AND REMOVE BAG .... SET BAG ON SOFA... WHILE BENTLEY PUTS #1 FOOT UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN. THUS REMOVING  FROM HIS FOOT, ANY REMAINING INK ON THE VINYL FLOOR..  THERE ARE 2 KINDS OF INK PADS.. WASHABLE AND PERMANENT-- WE WERE USING THE PERMANENT ONE.... AND IT IS....   THUS ILLUSTRATING THE "KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GOAL... "   AND WHY THIS IS CALLED CRAZY ACRES...   I KIND OF LIKE BENTLEY PAW PRINTS ALL OVER THE  LIGHT TAN FLOOR ...  IT  ADDS TO THE AMBIANCE .  AND IT IS ONE THING ON TH E FLOOR THAT I PROBABLY WON'T TRIP OVER.

 I DID SAY I WOULD SEND A PAWPRINT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MADE AN EXTRA EFFORT AND BOUGHT CHICKEN BRICKS. OVVER TH HOLIDAY???  WELL WE ARE TRYING......

To everyone who bought bricks over New Years .. the holiday season is always awkward to try and sell out .. and now is that COV continues I cAN  see it difficult for people tO come up with the $10 per number .. but whatever you can do without having a problem we certainly do appreciate it somehow we will figure it out .I am very hopeful that we get another payroll protection  PLAN. whatever loan ..  and that will take the pressure off too .. so with one foot firmly planted in mid air .. we go on .
It's the constant support FROM  you camera people but gave me the courage to go ahead and breed another litter with Reese and Watson ...  I'm sure someone wrote down the details like the date .. I seem to remember the ides of April ... income tax day ..  we should have puppies by then .

Speaking of the education of our dogs as opposed to training ... are recipients are supposed to get re certified on some sort of routine basis and if they can't make it here ..  there they send me a video of their dog working .. and I just got one for Zeppelin ..   You've all seen how George is really in step with Bella literally and figuratively ..  well Zeppelin is every bit as in tune with (.....Oh dear you think I'm going to remember her name I'm not ..  my specialty is dogs ).. In this video for re certification I always ask that they show me how they put the harness on the dog .. and I can tell by the dogs reaction having that harness slipped over their head , whether or not they approve the whole thing or look forward to it ... or whatever -----Zeppelin stands perfectly still and SEEMS ANXIOUS TO HAVE THAT HARNESS ON... AND THEN WATCHES  EVERY MOVEMENT IN ANTICIPATION OF “WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU NEXT” - AND  VERY CAREFULLY PERFORMS TASKS WE NEVER DID TEACH.
Including pulling her wheelchair probably fast enough to also get thrown out of Costco for speeding ..
Riding around in a wheelchair is a lot of things ..   one of 'em is damn slow .. So it really is kind of fun if you have to go through the airport 90 miles an hour knocking people out of the way ..  Maybe with these wheelchair pulling dogs we should fit the harness with one of those UUUHHHAAA horns that could sit right on top of the harness .  it would add something ..
one of the large problems with all of these disabilities ..  is they re so damn serious they don't leave much room for creative fun. you hardly see anybody smiling when they're pushing a wheelchair ....  or hobbling around on crutches .. yet every once in a  while we get somebody here who can see humor in impossible situations .
100 years ago my family decided to meet in Las Vegas for a weekend ..  and there was no way I could keep up with that crowd except to have winter Janine pushed me in a wheelchair ..  and I remember with a great deal of noise and effort being pushed up an escalator which was going down we made it  ..  20 years ago the collection of my nieces nephews and daughters ..all job dozens of miles a day and we're very fit and capable   it was a fun trip ..
 
THE DEPRESSION  of my alt key it's not the only problem with this computer although it is so much better ----I am still stuck with not knowing where these lines come from ...and the fact that it will just stop mid sentence if I'm typing and not watching  ---- Linda can type and watch the screen I type it watch my fingers and I still don't know where they go ... but once the computer starts having weird problems they can get weirder and weirder...
for example in trying to print out the litters of dogs we've had since 2016 so that I can try and extend our family tree to bring it to more current ,I was having an awful time trying to make the numbers come out right ..  several people sent me their rendition of the problem .. and it took me a lot of time to identify the fact that this computer or the printer or something was stuck on legal size paper wHILE actually putting it on regular size paper so that printing out a spreadsheet I was minus 4 lINES  of data .. without any real clue that that it happened .. it must have taken me a couple hours to try and identify the problem to SEE the fact that I was missing puppies then another 20 minutes to figure out why ..
so lesson of the day do not underestimate the ability of a computer to screw everything up .

IN KEEPING  WITH SOME GOAL.....  YOU CAN HELP BY GETTING MORE PEOPLE ADDICTED TO THE CAMERAS.      IF EACH OF YOU GOT ONE MORE PERSON.........:)
