to hear anyone say SDP pays all expenses just does not know the facts.  Sdp pays a very low rent. Which happens to be the same number as the re tax .---- just a number—so  go find me another 10 acres with even one building on it for $1000 a month--- an empty stall is worth $400 per month—the area of kennels I thru 10 could be  5 stalls--- that is a clear $2000 just for the area of 1 to 10 in the barn... no pastures – no arena—no hay... no nothing.  

 

I needed to make a list of some of the bills I've paid or outstanding bills that need paying or expenses that are coming up.----  you have no idea how much money I have put in on a monthly basis and my favorite examples right at the moment happened to be the $900 for a new pump for the fountain in the pond which is critical so we don't get green slime and a lot of mosquitoes the last motor for the pump I bought in 2014 and it lasted for till now.  another out of pocket--the generator at the barn needed a new battery which they need every once in a while that was $203... drop in the bucket-- constant expense as a matter of fact we have three generators I only bought one battery so far..

 and then there's the problem where there's a situation that's just plain ignored.. I found out yesterday that the water in the cellar which I have seen six months ago it's still there and everyone seems to know about it... apparently the washing machine has a leak and it's been leaking for six months and nobody fixed it or even noticed there are 100 things around here. which everybody just ignores..  My favorite trash...  has anyone even thought about the fact that in the laundry room there's a huge laundry machine which has been broken for over a year and nobody has thought about ---that I know of ---either fixing it or getting it out of there as trash----- I hate to think what it's going to cost to take it to the dump. but there there's it's just another problem which is which people just ignore and walk around ---- there are so many of those it's extremely upsetting.  and mostly it's because they just don't think about it somebody else is supposed to do it and that has been me. And Bud.... for years---- except I don't do it anymore. I can't. I'm not happy about that... I would much rather be able to just fix things and go on but I can't do that.

 Most of you 1400  daily doggie readers..know and realize.... I hope the few that  think all the bills are paid will stop and think....

 

Well that's my venting for the day maybe... maybe not. probably would be better if I just forgot the topic.

so looking forward the breakfast tomorrow morning I have to get my head organized and I also would like to take a few things to set out on a table as a normal person would do things like business cards if we had them but we don't .... we don't even have a design yet for the business cards but I'm working on it.. I do think I will take lackey with me he's usually such a good boy and he loves people---- all people----harl  color is so spectacular ---he'll show up on any carpet.

 

Janine finally has a household camera working which is beautiful---the clarity is wonderful--and it's set on the mail call area which usually involves a dog or two and people seemed thrilled to have the camera working.. once she got that going she went out the door on her way to the donkey camera and I don't know whether she got that working yet or not but I'll tell you that certainly is one thing I couldn't even attempt when I listened to her say things like” no that's capital J small letter K 14 capital Q 9/2. “  As they recited back and forth password after password it was more than I could even stand to listen to umm..  but she hung in there. People are loving the new mail call with Elizabeth and me and Carly So let's get on A roll...
