Hi Carlene and all-
First- Kevin/Heiden is well and happy, living a life of leisure, after successfully training Mark and I that he is now running this show.
Wanted to mention another way to cook food, which maybe you've already tried- which is cooking fish in the dishwasher.
I've read of wrapping salmon filets in aluminum foil, putting it on the top rack, and running it through the washing cycle.
Could be fun. Or a mess.
ok..... is there a cookbook for wierdos in the making??? i have heard of the top of car engines... can you all come up with some more??
and ----- hey GRUMPY --- (one of our retired legal consultants)-----while you are at it.......... maybe 10 years ago ...or so... geroge myers (DVM) warned me that eventually all kennels would be required to be in complience with
a bunch of ideas that made them more germ resistant ... i e washable/ waterproof. contraRY TO POPULAR BELIEF, i sometimes listened to george's advice.
so when i went to. build what is now the icu building... i built it with that in mind.. and i think for the most part( which would be the first floor) it is hoseable downable.
slight problem with the floor drains... but that is a whole nother problem.. the building is "in complience " with that washable.....
however....the 40 year old barn - being normal wood.... i s clearly not. it is extremely clean. with concrete floor and daily attention.
we have been given a deadline to have the barn become in compliance with a non specific "just fix it" by july 27--
this "just get rid of the wood". in a wooden barn...is a tough order to fill. we clean constantlly and have had no health issues---
been inspected by the "authorities" regularly without. complaint. we do have 4 kennels in the. "icu building" .... where we could isolate if needed...
but other than "in heat" it has not been necessary... so far.
i started asking around and i can not find any other kennel or dog owner who has been threatened by this mandate----in ipswich--- or the state of mass.... none.
-- and i have asked EXACTLY what is it they want us to do... so far the random orders just fix...would cost us in the 6 figure catagorie IF WE EVEN TRY TO ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE...
i have been in a lot places from doggie care to doggie hospitals... i can not find anyone who have experienced the. joy of
5 vehicles drive in and 5 people invade every corner of
their place ---no invitation, no search warrant....only to report to the town hall personell that i had not made my bed that day. when does this become harassment?
i have asked for EXACTLY what i need to ask a contractor to bid on... and i have asked for a list of other kennels of whom this has been demanded
so i can figure out what they intend to do. so far no answer.
if there is some way to become "better" equipt to handle a bunch of dogs, i certainly would love to talk with any expert who has done that.
in the meantime.... we have a job to do training dogs.
... LYNN and the crew of people training and handiling have done a wonderful job with Proxy who will be going home shortly to enjoy
the benefits of an education.... like "sofa sleeping".
THIS FOOL MACHINE IS REFUSING TO PUT HIS PICTURE IN HERE AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
