Dd 5 14. bbaby day!!!

baby donkey 2am...

the mic really it picks up everything \I just had to warn everybody I was going to dictate the daily doggy and it does pick up everything==== last night was an extremely exciting night um the the baby donkey was born without too much effort on our part Elizabeth was down there when I got there and we did remove the sack from the face and since the back legs were still in the mother we did give a little pull to get that all out and laying there and then we left her alone to solve the rest of it by herself um which she's done very well I left when it was still lying down because Janine was arriving and the big thing is don't touch the head nature has instructed baby animals to go toward whatever touches their head which is when they're looking for the ****** to nurse so that if you try and force the babies face toward the ****** the baby will try and go toward your hand and not the ****** this is a constant problem with all baby animals people figure they're helping and they're not you can put your hands on the rear end and push in the right direction maybe but it's almost better to leave the whole thing alone they manage these are wild animals and they do manage even baby puppies manage um and baby children don't touch the head when you're trying to have them nurse..

 

that was problem one a problem too was trying to feed the dogs at 7:00 in the morning we were minus the dog food the puppy food and we keep it in one of those big milk cans and I know we used it yesterday it's usually behind my desk and we're going to find it the damn thing is what 3 feet tall 2 feet tall you know what's a milk can and turns out in the process of going down to watch the baby being born Elizabeth husband nick grab the milk can for me to sit on how else could we possibly lose something that size but we've have now found it thankfully.

 

now aside from that you're we have a new person here today what did you what did you huh Marie Marie is here working with Judy today to get broken in um and that's where we are at the moment I have a lahey appointment early this morning and then we have an appointment at Gardner which is that very nice assisted living place in Danvers or Peabody I don't know which that we've been to quite a bit it's where larkey identified that woman with diabetes that we ended up putting in the newspaper and that's what's planned for the day

 

moving on

 dd 5 13

 

i am having computer #$%^&*(). why it does that i do not know....

so much easier... It would be also nicer if I had electric wire around the whole thing to go with the fence I watched in fear that yesterday as lucky just charged the fence and went right through it it's a very light chicken wire that's surrounded right now but rather than put the electric fence around if I just charge the electric collar we'll have to sit there and hit him once or twice with the collar and I think that would cure that problem and we can use that on anybody else that needs training only problem is you have to sit there and watch it---- once or twice we'll do it.

 

The cup part is pretty well cleaned up for these people to walk around...  or even better to take a doggie and walk around we might conceivably need a small load of stone dust down at the lower end but other than that the path is pretty good...   as I surveyed it on my golf cart...

 

Now that we are out and around more we have to cut down the traffic in the driveway. so my first choice of the day

is to go out and see how the gate is anyway the gate number one I don't know whether we're gonna get around to gate #2 which would also be nice to have just to keep the different kinds of dogs separate that would give us 3 distinct dog pastors with the bond doesn't quite take the place of the dog runs that were demolished well the six foot fence was removed,, But at least there will be something. with the three kennels and the nut house having had their fencing removed, and then having the deagle house being gutted for what reason I don't know and now had a tree in it... we are severely hampered in our generic handling of animals so we need to get all that functioning again.

so outside day it is

go figure 

 

Our first bunch of visitors from a daycare facility came out here yesterday.. in a bus from rainbow daycare in Peabody --there were ten of them.    We as a group---that would be Janine Elizabeth and me--when from utter panic sheer relaxed capability..

 

if you're going to compare goldie's farm with Disney World we're not gonna make it however the relaxed atmosphere and simple enjoyment is what these people want and need and yesterday they had it..  the dogs my dogs were loose those were the dogs they had seen in their daycare so that was fun then I had them take those dogs around our pond which took the best part of 1/2 an hour but they enjoyed the whole trip and from there we went to the swing set where it was a huge hit and there we went to say the donkeys up at the gate there there again very nice.. they then sat and had lunch and very carefully picked up all their trash got back on the bus and left.,.

 

This is exactly what I want to promote is the casual self-sufficiency have groups of people and all I am willing to provide and able to provide is a farm which at times is a working farm sometimes working at things that are not necessarily attractive but it is an experience regardless of what's going on.

 

changes I would have made for that day/?

 the trip around the pond was just an afterthought It will give everybody something to do quickly while we figure out what else is going on but it turned to be the highlight or one of them of the trip fresh air water frogs whatever things they hadn't had before.. I had planned on having them go into the barn to see the pregnant donkey in her stall so that they could take home the image where she would be having the baby plus all the smells thousands of a barn--  the swing set how can I describe ----it really made Elizabeth think we should put up a second one which is definitely the case overlooking the pond would be an excellent place for another swing set people sat on it and swung for a long time and just didn't get off they just relaxed there.. thanks to chip and his engineering and welding skills it was one of our biggest attractions.. who knew????  

 

well I knew a bit..  I am also very convinced that perfection is expensive plus it is confining it's entertaining only to people who are impressed with perfection what it lacks casual reality and sometimes it's not as much fun..

 

to that end I am suggesting possibly another swing set chip if you could at least give us those two angled pieces at the top I can do the rest--I also suggested that when they come if they go around the pond they get a star to put on their chart back home when they get enough stars they get a monkey fist or whatever or whatever that doesn't cost a lot  money at any rate--  from my experience with other groups who were thrilled with the smell of the manure pile, I did think a trip to the barn  with its distinctive barn odors.. should be part of the trip..  lunch is always going to be a do-it-yourself but quite possibly it is it could have a fire barbecue involved totally do it yourself but available.

 

That was all really good news/

 

to be mixed with the fact that when we went into the facility in Danvers the day before apparently one of the dogs moved his bowels before going in the door neither Carly nor I saw it so it didn't get picked up and they complain try don't blame them we should have seen if there had been three of us it would have been seen but we had you know two dogs and a puppy and we had our hands full..our animals were more than a big hit !!!

the good part of that with it or the interesting part is a the administrator came out to play with lockie who very quickly said this guy's got funny armpits..  he said he'd never been diagnosed with diabetes... and I tried to explain that the dog was pretty reliable so far --something was odd and it wouldn't hurt if he checked with his doctor.

 

And we move along....thank you for all the henny pennies that make it possible...

a letter to the pig company !!!

 

Sometime in the past 20 years,  someone --maybe one of your employees --donated a roll of your wonderful Flooring.

That roll of stickyback worked its way into the hearts and minds of all who worked here to prepare and donate the 200 great Danes as service dogs for not only our veterans, but many young children with mobility issues..

Perfect traction- with easy cleanup- for not only young puppies but older retired dogs.

 

I now find myself as one of those older retired dogs whose family thought it was time for me to retire. I prefer to think I have been repurposed.. instead of training service dogs , I now use all the dogs in my care to amuse and entertain people in daycare centers and nursing homes..  Easily meeting our goal of seeing over 100 people a week.

 

I am sorely missing your sticky back flooring, as our #1 repurposed, but working dog jumped  down off a tall bed and slipped on the hardwood floor.

Her remaining slight limp is constant reminder that I miss having your pig flooring as a critical part of the equipment needed to properly handle from 4 to 50 dogs.

 

They tell me I am no longer a service dog trainer, but I am gainfully donating my time to provide some amusement to people who are confined by health, finances, geography, family responsibilities,   or just  plain “old age”.... My expenses – (gas,  and dog food) are covered by public donation as  I am once again considered a 501C3 charity..  #93 134 4392- I totally understand that you have a payroll to meet and that takes cash--- but is there any way I can offer the use of my great Danes, or a miscellaneous collection of horses donkeys chickens and goats.. in any commercials you might be filming, ---- because my other “calling” was to provide all kinds of animals for movies and commercials filmed in New England in the past 30 years. And...... I just happened To own a merry go round pig...  

Someone just donated one matt- which is a wonderful start- is there anything I can do to earn a roll?

How can you tell you've gotten old it's when you look at the date and compare it to when the Social Security checks will clear  your bank---  that's how

 

I'm sure I'm going to eventually end up in jail however couple of years ago for an extremely complicated reason I stopped and looked at the bill from the accountant which was about $750 to do my income tax when I only have two sources of income and aside from donating too much to one charity or another it's been a very simple income tax form to fill out so I should be able to do that.... especially   On their easy tax form... however if one simple question arises and you look for help you got a problem...  I was advised to take all my information and go into Copley square on a Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 and there was there were desks set up for help with tax forms... I can't think of a better place in the world or an easier place to get to for somebody who's over the age of 64 in Copley square at 4:00 in the afternoon so I wrote back to them and said to them that I was 86 and couldn't even think about getting into Copley square at any any day of the week and they wrote back and said well hang in there we'll get to you basically well I'm hanging... and I know that I'm gonna hang a lot better it's like basically send the money and not worry about the paperwork which I have done before and I'm doing it now I have that letter that tells me.." wait they'll give they'll help me with the paperwork".  but if they don't, i  have a copy of it I may end up in jail anyway so be it----- the only paperwork I know how to fill out which I've done for years is extending the deadline which was extending the deadline for paperwork you still have to send the money I just thought I'd let you all know when they come calling for  me.

 

I cannot think of a publication more complicated and relatively useless then the IRS instructions for  trying to file your income tax...  In my history.  back 50 years or so--- I have taken all kinds of accounting courses but the more useful  one was supposed to be one given by H&R block which allowed you to call yourself some sort of tax expert.. Now it is so complicated I can equate that to my title of Canine good citizen inspector from the AKC/=== Or heaven forbid just plain dog trainer.

 

Speaking of dog trainers Katie took noodles out with her group of five or six dogs which she exercises daily by jogging them through the woods various Massachusetts parks and yesterday it was a park in Gloucester and she took noodles and we have a wonderful picture of doodles nearly submerged in just plain mud having a delightful time off lead somehow ===he comes when he's called  he's learned that much from me any rate he had a wonderful time wallowing... she apparently knew of a fairly clearly running stream before she got back to her car so she let him play in the stream be sure she brought him home it wasn't too bad when he got home all there are a few crusted spots of crap he had a wonderful time he will make a super dog for somebody--  probably not me --I believe we have three people now who want him in the mean time he's gotta work the daycare centers with the rest of us.

 he's a funny dog.. but my nerves are far more suited to the Great Dane puppy I also have and thanks to several other people the Great Dane puppies that are still out there waiting to be adopted

 so life goes on. and on and on.

my latest naughty notice is 3 harlequin danes in mass... that would give me a replacement pair for siz and larkey assuming i last that long . 

 dd 5 8

Dd 5 8

the difference in these two dogs is amazing noodle is so full of energy and so alert then I don't think it could possibly be a Newfoundland anywhere in his bloodline he's gotta be just border collies sort of thing... and the new pup ZD is a Dane she's happy to lie down and fall asleep almost anywhere and can easily entertain herself with whatever twigs and rope she finds lying around Carly no not Carly Kate took noodles out with her running group yesterday and said she did famously.

 

Kate who put together and runs what's now known as the Tanner barn out behind the arena does some basic dog training not here but around and apparently jogs or runs a bunch of dogs on a daily basis a good four or five miles and she took noodles with her yesterday he came back very pleased.. But I have had to separate the two because noodle is just too much dog for eight week old Ziti... I finally ended up giving ziti her own sleeping quarters basically under the knee hole of my desk which worked out very nicely . A little water a little food and they both just wiped right out.

 

I will continue to take one or both to the nursing homes with me let's see what works out best.. I doubt having the two of them roughhouse would be would it I doubt it would be entertaining and furthermore it would be tough on Z. Noodles behaves beautifully on a leash so if I did take both I could keep him controlled that way. I don't know we'll see.

 

Judy is gone for a week maybe --  she really does such a super job in these adult daycare centers..  it's like you wind her up at the door and she just rattles on and keeps everybody smiling and happy and the dogs running around and eating cookies now the frying pan so he really has found her calling in that one and I am still shocked and amazed at the number of people who are in charge of a facilities activity an activities director the one yesterday was no exception absolutely thrilled with any help she could get from anybody to keep the whole group entertained it's a tough call there's certainly a need for some creative thinking in that regard

 I'll work on it.

 

Dd 5 7

Ok... we h ave a perfect comparison of two puppies and why you should really look into what the bloodlines have been bred for.. that doesn't make either one wrong it just makes them extremely typical ----we have noodles who I can practically guarantee you is not the Newfoundland but rather some kind of herding  dog sheepdog sort of thing.. where is ziti is a Dane.

at 4:00 I got up let the two of them out on the deck fed them a good meal.. and then tried to get them to settle down which zi was happy to do crawl in with sizzle and take a nap however noodles was on a tear literally ignore up the yoga mat and ate some of it dragged around all the dishes he could find including a glass heavy duty glass thankfully water dish that I had given ziti. and finally after about two hours I finally had noodles sleeping my feet and ziti was sleeping with sizzle but it took a long time to get there and then Judy arrived.. and noodles was ready to fly again...   somewhere way back at least ten days ago I made the statement the two great Dane pups would be easier to handle then one of noodles whatever he is.

 

I think we've now proven that..  it doesn't change much we still have a job for noodles . but we definitely have the picture of what type home he should graduate into.--he will need a home with a good supply of tennis balls... unless we can find some job which would make use of his peculiar talent of being able to pick up any metal or glass object in his teeth...

 

you gotta go with what you got---  like Elizabeth came in last night and larkey nearly bowled her over trying to sniff her ----clearly identifying the fact that her blood sugar was not where it was supposed to be... he was insistent---because now that I know what he's saying I praise him for doing it whereas 6 months ago it was annoying for him to rush up to someone dry and sniff their armpits so I would scold him. Now I understand what he is saying—and can make use of that knowledge.... plus he is more confident in poking that nose...

 

There is so much going on around here that there is no earthly way I could let you know or try to keep you informed of everything.  somebody want to know why I hadn't gotten in my golf cart to go down and look at the pregnant mommy.. Sounds so simple except my golf cart died and needed recharging.. in a place a couple 100 feet from the nearest electrical outlet.. so I needed to find a couple heavy duty extension cords to be able to get that thing charged up--not a simple task in a place in turmoil with stuff all over the place.

And a quick note on quickpicks--- last week someone questioned a number—which listed me as owner because it was really a quick pick for a person who’s name I don’t know—but who gave me a 100 dollar bill—so I will hand carry her winning monkey fists to her...

 

In the meantime – I better get on the making of those “zipper pulls”.  Between winners and betsy’s shop I need a better supply !!

 

DD 5 6

 

We are now a 2 puppy project at the moment um noodles is today going to be more respectful of ZITI ---you often heard me say you get what you expect out of a dog and it's time I expected better behavior from him SO he could no longer just hop on her and knock her over

Aside from everything else it is slightly dangerous he's twice her size at the moment--- wait till next week...  I've had two people want information about the any puppies still available from that breeder and I will give it to them probably put it in here nick is getting it for me I have to warn you it is the junkiest place I have ever been and believe me I've been in a lot of junkie places maybe the dog come tumbling out the front door adult pile of stuff that contains like all kinds of valuable things to be have around here everybody's taking a vote that I should not be able to go back to the place because it really looked like fun but in a way in the back I didn't see an ambulance you know there's there are things that there are parts of things that are fun too you know you certainly had them all over the place I don't know either terrible housekeeper or whatever he is he is totally devoted to his bunch of dogs he has three adults and eight puppies..

I really believe the mother there's probably a blue she's certainly not black.... I did not see the father who he said was black I did see the grandfather who was Harlequin but we have bred a black dog to a blue dog would have given them all black puppies which is what they have if that black dog had been a black out of a blue mother I would think he would have had one or two blue puppies I did not see any so my guess is the black is actually a black out of Harlequin which might explain the odd collection of white toes feet chest that they all have at any rate.... this pup can stand on our back feet with the best of them I have seen her extend her back legs to indicate probably no hip dysplasia according to my father   and the pen hip exam..   so we bash onZITI

having two puppies certainly achieves the goal of the physical therapist who hounded me when I first got out of the hospital about getting up and sitting down getting up and sitting down to increase my leg muscles well I certainly have to do that now..... between the puppies and the lasix I'm getting all kinds of exercise.

 

and I am spoon feeding----at the moment correctly you see them sitting in front of me there's no barrier or fence between us they can do as they please but if they sit still they're going to get fed what you can't see over my shoulder his lackeys sitting on the bed waiting for his mouthful too.... so I just ran through 1/4 of a can of purina canned food I think it's labels normal ground or something like that---critical because it sticks to the spoon better don't get the shredded kind you spill too much and the dogs end up getting it off the floor which defeats the purpose of your feeding them in the first place---- gotta stick to the spoon

 hello there's Jodie there's Jody I'm I'm here OK time to take I I'm I'm I'm trying to get out the daily doggy I'll do that and then OK I'll do that and you're coming here OK bye bye that's Judy

Uh there's what I talked about yesterday where conversation in the room gets captured on the daily doggy and instead of wiping it out I'll just leave it there that was the quote call from Judy reminding me to take my pills which I will now go and do.

 

THE LETTERS AND UPDATES FROM GRATEFUL RECIPIENTS ARE THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE BEHIND, AND IT’S AN IMPRESSIVE ONE. IN SPITE OF THE MESS YOU ARE IN NOW, NEVER REGRET THAT DECISION MADE LONG AGO.

AND HERE IS BREAKFAST AT GOLDYS FARM NOT TOO BAD FOR 2 DAYS....

 dd 5 5

Dd 5 5

Life with two puppies is slightly more exciting than life with one puppy especially with one puppy considerably bigger than the other one I'm constantly breaking up maulings I guess is what you would call them um they do behave very nicely or he does on a leash which gives Ziti some chance to relax but she's no Angel either I've seen her run across the floor and flatten him which she never did back in her own home where  she was very quiet and well behaved/

 however they also have to get used to having their own. food bowl at the new exciting thing---- she shows food aggression already because she was always fed in a group of  8   – conversation with gwen,,,-I don't think I soaked any food for tjem  Do I soak the food and water or goat milk------ I put it in warm water and then put a spoonful of goats milk in it.

 

Very often when I dictate this daily doggy other conversation gets transmitted by mistake sometimes the conversation is pertinent like it was right there and maybe if I just started putting conversation in italics it might add an element of reality to life around here early in the morning.. and you just have to figure out who is which in this case it was Gwenn and I.

 

my big deal today is to deal with the insurance guy on the fallen tree bit.... .... and the paperwork involved.... apparently the insurance bunch want a detailed itemized bill for the tree removal before they will consider increasing the allowance for that.. I have not seen such a bill—and  I would be extremely happy to be out of the loop entirely.. Somewhere along the line I was told not to worry about a bill for things that should be covered by insurance..  but instinctively I knew damn well insurance does not cover 100%.----  but right now there is an unlikely 60% deficiency... and before anyone decides I am all wrong... let me deal with it and get the facts straight.

 

Why did I ever decide to prove I could  make a dane into a service dog?

 dd 5 4 

How can the morning report be complete without a poo report with two puppies to report on doodles and ziti  they had a very interesting night I did have to finally break them up and put them in separate places because noodle is twice her size and trying to be dominant not realizing that given about a week or two she's got to be twice his size -----I think I've determined that he's not going to be a Newfoundland I think he is some kind of herding dog as he tries to herd her..... mixed with his trying to dominate her.   The specific poo report from two puppies is 5 perfect poos end I don't know how many whittles..  at any rate we're very tidy all done on the poo pad   and we are our usual spotless self .

 

those of you who missed yesterday's activities nick and I went to a place in New Hampshire that had a litter of puppies Danes that basically needed homes --- there were eight pups he'd found homes for four of them and I did consider taking more than one puppy but I just didn't see how I could cope with noodles and a really active pup.. so I chose the quietest pup that he had which according to my father... born in 1900..  the quietest one is either the thinker or it's. sick. .   These pups ohh look perfectly healthy and  very much out of control so I took the quietest female and brought it home with me and on the way home nicknamed it ziti  to be in line with our spaghetti theme.

 

We don't have any assignment for the day other than maybe go and have lunch Browns up in Salisbury noted for their seafood.  and lunches  cost $95.. but this is gwen's main splurge with lobster so it certainly is the best way out rather than try and cook them in the guesthouse.

 new board is open—I dunno why I had trouble.... well I do know... I can never remember exactly what the stats were for the old board..... and this is what  things like % sold out are geared from.... you would think....   well don’t bother--- age will get you all too... the ”board “ is created 7 rows at a time.. why? I dunno but that is how and it has worked for years--- and every month I am confused....all it needs is one postit note... do you have any idea how many post it notes are plastered to my computer ?

 

my latest “find” thanks to gwen is—she found  not only the big magnet. But put it together with the gallon of “white pennies” to see if we have any worth $250,000 .. I will. Keep you posted—believe me !!

 

SISSLE HAD A BETTER NIGHT ON THE NEW BED JANINE FOUND THAT SOMEONE WAS NOT. USING..JUDY FOUND A COUPLE RYNMADYL WHICH ARE APPARENTLY PAIN KILLERS – SHE IS POOPING AND EATING FINE.... ( SIZZLE THAT IS-- I DON’T KNOW ABOUT HT E JUDY REPORT ON THAT ONE.)

DAILY DISASTER???? Well it's not a disaster but it's certainly something that has to take over our total attention ----yesterday I think it was sizzle jumped off the bed with no rug on the floor and her rear end went spread eagle and she yelped and we very quickly helped her up before I could see exactly what direction her legs had gone into.. at any rate today she is sore she is limping slightly---- she can get around she's using her leg ---it's left hind.. but something hurts..  and at the moment I think probably if we could find some painkiller to give her that would be a good thing..  I don't like to give painkiller until we are pretty sure what the problem is because you let the pain  let the dog explain to you what hurts and I think she's described to us what the problem is but it would it is left hind leg ---now the other problem is I think she stood up all night long without lying down and to complicate that matter this mattress is the new one that Janine got out of the attic of the ICU that upset the SDP .. LAWYER.. For about the 10th time---Can you imagine my giving a higher priority to the dogs comfort than to his opinion... at any rate

poor sizzle stood up all night long and even though I did manage to get her on the bed--- larkey was there at the time and she's very nearly turned right around and jumped off which is great but she'll stand in the middle of the room and look at me and look at the bed and look at me and look at the bed ----More than I can stand so I had to rethink--- it never back to her something like that putting her on the bed with larkey there was not working---- so I threw him out along with noodle and Wanda that's why and then asked her to get in the bed... which were the rope around her neck she did manage to do and very quickly lay down and has gone into a very deep sleep---- she has to be pretty hungry too so I have scrambled egg and a can of dog food ready to feed her when she does wake up but that's gotta be one tired dog.

 

I haven't even gotten showered or dressed yet ----imagine that ---a higher priority for the dogs comfort then a shower...  that idea is gonna go just so far before the shower will take over rest assured..

 

so it's penny penny  DAY..  So I have the numbers board to do somewhere along the line along with Hunts rehab center which is on the schedule to receive the chicken on a funny little wagon good for wedding cakes –The debate is also can we take the chicken and maybe noodle but there is some danger there and noodles trying to chase the chicken in the hunt rehab center...   

 

I expect and I plan to have the numbers board ready for mail call this afternoon at 5:00 and then so hopefully you will see carly's chicken on the henny penny number board at 5:00 PM. clear Carly is chicken She's a very slow poo maker so chances are we will end up opening the mail while waiting for her to produce.. should be inte RESTING.

 

THANKS TO ALL FOR A BOARD WHICH IS NEARLY COMPLETE—I HAVE 132 QUICK PICKS TO ENTER----( QUICK PICKS ARE PEOPLE WHO SENT THE MONEY HERE AND I ENTER THEM...  WHIXH I WILL NOW DO.

 

HANGING IN THERE.....

 may 1,

thanks to nick 1 (elizabeth other half) think i have internet this morning......

and thanks to nick  2 (an ex-toyota person) i am looking forwRD TO AN INTERESTING RIDE FRIDAY morning

it seems 

 

Janine is here somewhere I haven't seen her today or yesterday too much--and Gwen is due here sometime after lunch... it's always fun to watch the two of them get together and bicker over clothing jewelry or whatever.. Gwen's main interest in coming this time is to have a lobster feast..  she offered to cook it here at the house but that place up there in Salisbury has lobster and it's very good that's the place where Gwen and I had lunch for $90.00.

 

Cloud is doing a wonderful job at illustrating our activities for the week...594 for April--- not too bad.... We do seem to be getting bigger and bigger groups and I think one thing is that when we say we'll be there at 10:00 we generally are so if we treat it like a business it soon may become just that and I do think it probably would be bigger then the job of making service dogs..  I have to go along with Mr. Cummings when he took the number of service dogs and the cost of the production of the one dog it just plain not cost effective when you look at we saw 594 and I think I only charged two tanks of gas about $120.00 to Goldie farm.  Even tossing in the equation of the one dog significantly changing the life of one person.

 

I am obviously very proud of George and Bella and all that they have managed to get done George is getting up there in years and he's slowing up a little bit she says... another one I am very proud of and I don't even know the child's name or the dog the little girl who helped me dig the holes... and I decided that maybe we could put a dog together for her..  as she had some undiagnosed malady of falling with no warning..   because about a month ago someone told me that they had seen a little girl in their school who almost fell down except the dog caught her and she just picked up her books and went on to class ---that's my dog--- granted he doesn't get a beer out of the ice box but he is very attentive to that kid and he watches her every movement and he's there when it matters.

Shep, please see attached.  Also I understand that a tractor has been removed from the premises and that Ms. Jacques and Ms. Tilston are currently trespassing in SDP's leased space, the Ice House. I have advised them to call the police but wanted to give you an opportunity to ask them to leave the leased premises before doing so. 

I am on a flexible schedule - so while it suits me to email now, please know that I do not expect a response or action outside of hours that are convenient for you.
