 MAY 13 2022 

i had so many remarks about bentley  and the rest of our dogs

Thinking of you. Thank you for all that you do. Photos of B2 (Bailey) below he forever changed our lives for the better.
B2. was one of the first dogs .... there was some story about jessica( the veteran). got the pup from a friend of george myers
who's dog i had bred to thumper... i think i. have this right....
 she tried to give me B2 back because he was so impossibly lively , he was driving her mother nuts.. so somehow i took the dog for the weekend
and then jessica brought her mother in to costco to see how "if". i had trained  B2. in 2 days and b2 was perfect...
 she could not believe how perfect--- lying quietly in that  zoo that is costco
just needed a few things explained to him and he continued perfect when she took him home..... with her mother....
he was a greAT DOG FOR HER....
AS SO MANY HAVE BEEN...

AND I LIE HERE WATCHING LARKEY LYING IN THE PLACE WHERE BENTLEY USED TO LIE----
 AND IN COMES JIMINEY WHO TRIED TO GET ON THE SAME MATTRESS THAT LARKEY
ALREADY FILLED... USUALLY LARKEY WOULD GET UP AND LET JIMINEY HAVE THE MATTRESS
NOT THIS TIME-- AND JIMINEY WENT SO FAR AS TO TRY SITTING THEN STANDING ON LARKEYS BELLY
TO NO AVAIL. LARKEY WAS STAKING HIS CLAIM. WITH NO ONE TO GROWL AT HIM.

APPARENTLY HALEY HAS 2 CRIB MATTRESSES FOR ME IN THE CAR....
------
WE ARE WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE BARN,,, I SAY WORKING ON IT... I HAVE 2 GUYS WILLING TO BID... BUT THERE IS NO CLEAR
PLAN ON EXACLTLY WHAT WE ARE TO DO......AND THIS TIME ROUND I WANT ALL THE DETAILS IN WRITING BEFORE WE GET STARTED....

THINK BACK TO. THE ARENA COLLAPSE AND AFTER I BOUGHT THE WHITE TENT,AS OPPOSED TO THE USUAL LOCAL CARPENTER TYPE..... THEN. CAME THE "YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, YOU ARE ONLY A WOMAN..."        
 THE IPSWICH BUILDING INSPECTER CAME AND SAID I NEEDED A SOIL COMPACTION STUDY--OVER $20,000  -OR HE COULD SHUT US DOWN...
LUCKILY THE NEIGHBORS HELPED.... BUT THEN.... I TRIED BEING LEGIT WITH TH E ICU BUILDING.... AND INSTEAD OF THE $10 PVC PIPE DRAIN
THE IPSWICH BUILDING INSPECTOR HAD THE PLUMBER INSTALL $19,000 OF COPPER AND IRON PIPE WHICH DOES NOT DRAIN AT ALL ...
 I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT ... OR GUESS WHAT... THEY COULD SHUT ME DOWN...

AND HERE WE GO AGAIN.... SOUND FAMILIAR???

THIS TIME I WANT ON PAPER EXACTLY WHAT THE. DEPT OF AGGI... BOARD OF HEALTH... 
 AND BUILDING INSPECTOR....ARE MANDATING.----- HOW CAN I GET AN ESTIMATE WITH "JUST MAKE IT WATERPROOF AND PRETTY"
 RIGHT NOW... IT IS SO VAGUE .......YET TO MAKE A 40 YEAR OLD BARN INTO A RELATIVE STERILE DOG KENNEL IS GOING TO TAKE SOME
EXCEPTIONAL CONSTRUCTION... SO WE NEED DETAILS....IN WRITING. AND ?HOME DEPO'S HELP?
