 jan 21 2022

 i thought it was going to be a perfect day when one of my emails said i could loose weight by putting butter in my coffee.. that is aboiut the only place i have not tried putting butter.
  but  i could not sit here and listen to "soon i will tell you".   did anyone else listen to the  whole  thing????

 

Today we will start the gruel  feeding of the puppies on a schedule that schedule will be at about 9:00 o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon the gruel fun  should start the gruel being ground up purina puppy puppy it's not puppy food puppy pro plan with a little bit of goat milk and let it sit to get swollen and then add water again to make it the consistency of elmers glue all which case they all eat it and after they finish that then ----I for a start ----we'll start in with the glass baby food jars of chicken and sweet potato to get them onto the two taps on the jar and the ice teaspoon.. I can't imagine that there are some of you who don't know about me and the iced tea spoon brigade..  in a nutshell after the pups have had their meal and the slow small rest I then bring out either canned dog food or the puppy food on the the children baby food that's what I'm trying to remember chicken and sweet potato mix of which we now have about two cases underneath the sofa and that's how I start feeding him that chicken sweet potato mix and getting them to pay attention to the sound of tapping my spoon on the jar which then becomes the can which then goes all over the place and why a iced tea spoon that's because the puppies need to learn two things------one is not to jump and grab at food whether it's in a spoon or your hand because there are occasions we are dogs puppies not even Great Dane puppies have managed to swallow the entire spoon and I watched on doctor Paul as they pulled one out of the stomach.. so there's a whole Routine of how to feed a dog by hand which starts with by spoon let me try and put it to words which is darn near impossible.

if you go to feed a dog a cookie and you've got it in between your thumb and first finger and you point it straight ahead at the dog the dog and its enthusiasm will open his mouth and move forward and grab the cookie and just because of all the angles involved sometimes gets your fingers in the grab so that next time you go to offer the dog the cookie the same way you instinctively move your hand backwards so the dog only gets the cookie well the way the dog sees that is that oh I've gotta grab faster and harder before she moves backwards and takes it away so you're perpetuating the problem you're trying to get rid of ---that could get to be a downhill spiral -----the proper way to offer the cookie is to hold the cookie perpendicular to your hand and to the dogs mouth so that when he comes into grab you only have to move your hand a little sideways to get out of the way the dog has no intention of eating your hand they just want the cookie so if you arrange it so that they have a Direct Line of attack which is going to get them only the cookie you're way ahead of the game and strangers it seems I think I can put that into stick figures for maybe next week news article it would be funny but it would be accurate also

 

As I glanced back through what I've dictated here there are some mazing errors that I mostly don't correct I did just change the girl to grul   weather some words in my vocabulary which the Siri person has not heard before I'm sure There are some words in here I don't even remember what I was trying to say about falling out the sanctus Oh well as we go....
