 may 15 2023

sooo...  the first thing i do when i get up in the......... well , no... maybe i should start with the second thing i do in the morning....   that would be coffee, and a vitsamin pill for pasta and me( kept  next to coffee pot  for efficiency) .. so maybe the third thing -- is to check the sale of hay bales -- and by golly  at 5am there was already one hay buyer on the list.....  so i emailed her/him  to comment on the early rising-- unless it was  late rising from germany-- and got a 

Late good morning from Norway 🐾☀️❤️

so there you have it !!!!  we are a sizable bunch----and because of our attempt at mail call last friday - we are an even bigger group now-- so to make sure we include all interested folk... i check the hay bales and lift the  addresses onto a spreadsheet which i then run thru the constant contact program to eliminate duplicates so  any new people can  avail themselves of this scintillating early morning discussion. ( or unsubscribe)  the scintillating part can be a variable depending on my sleep pattern and or quantity of coffee consumed..

for all you new folk, i try and include critical information you might otherwise miss -- and this morning's wealth of wisdom  is   popcornopolis.com ZEBRA popcorn.... someone sent me some and .... boy is that good popcorn ! and i am not a fan of popcorn.

moving on----

 

thanks to  Janine we did have a lively mail call last Friday—sometimes cameras looking at the ceiling eventually at Pasta and his sister Willa (both 15 month old rescue dane  pups from the Carolinas) it was their first meeting since they were separated 4 weeks ago--  she- Willa--- is considerably larger than Pasta even tho they both are on Purina large puppy pro plan-  the fact that Pasta and I are often not home to give him lunch  may be telling more than it should—I do give him a large snack at 4 am—but I think he could use some more groceries...  and maybe Willa a few less.  He has been wormed- so no excuse... more food.

I am absolutely convinced that a fat—or even well rounded dane—would be healthier  for lack of a few pounds— my rule of thumb---  ribs showing is a good thing... there should be no depression at the top of the tail---- ( that is fat buldges on either side I do believe)  and the 2 pointy hip bones should not be “prominent”.. that is too thin...

Willa was a bit shocked to have Pasta be so “forward” and got to tucking her tail trying to hide behind Missy( owner)--- it took  a few minutes for them to get into the “bitey face. My mouth is bigger than your mouth” stage of normal puppyhooding..  they enjoyed each other’s company.

Now.  Was it “oh I remember you??” or “hey is this  a playmate my size??” I could not say. But they played very well together... until..

“WHO LET THAT BIG WHITE THING IN HERE?”  and Willa just could not manage to conceive of such a large thing being just a dog. Lachey.

 

Now on the mail call/camera end of things..... for you newbies... I have been “doing mail call” at 5pm for  10 years——however  under new management it was decided I should not  “do mail call” on the explore.org cameras-I do not understand why- doesn’t matter- Janine decided she could get  a live camera set up—and alto it was minus the  sophistication of professional technitians, she got it going .... on 2 cameras—i.e. phone cameras--- I know nothing- and do not want to.. she and Missy held phones poked at screens and managed my 3 adult dogs ( and Wanda—Janine’s   noisy jack Russell) and somehow a huge number of people understood what and where- so the result was  a bunch of people asking to be my friend- when I did not know how to respond- I have never faced books.

After. m/c I sat down and did the best I could... a lot of people know my email—and sent  messages saying how thrilled they were to have this

"Late in the day connection " continued—I like emails.... ESPECIALLY ONES IN LARGE LETTERS OR PRINT...

MOVING FORWARD TODAY---

Janine and I have had some  more ideas—basically  if she can get that phone camera bit down so normal people can find us.... we could have some really funny mail calls in the “where’s waldo” vein..  that could be serious challenge and good. fun... as I drove to get my nearly empty gas tank filled... there is an “older guy??” at the gas station... he is always there. With a cookie for each of my dogs..... I would love to share some  of my dubious fame with him and so many like him... that are always there...

 

Now 5pm Monday thru Friday  we should be live ---this terrifies me that somehow electronically it gets mixed up and we loose connection.. I think this daily doggie connection thru constant contact is secure... as is ... maybe the daily doggie connection off our crazyacresfarm.org website

So with one foot firmly planted in mid air... have a good day—and I should. See you  at 5pm... hopefully
