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.)

 

 THE COMBINATION OF NOODLE, THE CHICKEN AND CARL WAS EXCEPTIONALLY SUCCESSFUL AT HUNT REHAB YESTERDAY. AND THE CHICKEN CAME HOME TO PRODUCE A POO TO CHOSE THE WINNER OF LAST MONTHS HENNY PENNY (THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH)

 

plans for the day – go look at some 4  dane pups in rescue. That nick ( irA NICK ) FOUND

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.

ongggg. Story,,,

Here's just some of my education in the Dane business ---long ago like in the 1980 eights I got inspired to own a Harlequin Great Dane basically because I had seen pictures of ones that had won Westminster dog show great big black and white Danes so I started out looking.. quickly zeroing in on AKC breeders and being very impressed with champions and things like that..  but very early in the game I noticed that every AKC breeder I had contacted was bragging about the amount of BMW bloodlines that were in their dogs.   So I figured I better go see these  BMW dogs---turns out there kennel was on Long Island and though I hate boats I took a ferry boat from grotten to the tip end of Long Island in order to go see these dogs---- the owner of the kennel was Laura Kyle lanes I don't know how you spell it something like that she was an architecture who worked in Manhattan and she had lovely dogs.. it was decided I could buy one of her puppies in the next letter and I did that which turned out to be Tiffany beautiful dog look just like sizzle..  Laura also sold or gave me a mail dog I've forgotten which and I didn't at the time realized that she had intended to use that dog for breeding but as the days turned into months I decided th male was not really up to what I like and so I had him neutered . Laura was very upset that I could remember her saying you don't realize what you've done when basically all I did was have a male dog neutered that I really didn't think it was worth breeding but any rate she said he was the only one I had in that line I was new at this game I knew nothing about lines and genetics and things like that but I was soon to learn it. I was of the opinion if you want a female Dane and you want to breed it you found an AKC champion Dane and for a certain amount of money they'd breed it for you -----it's not that simple.

 

My basic agreement with Laura was if I was to breathe the female I let her pick the male and she got half the price of anything she helped sell I said fine not realizing that when the puppies were about six weeks old I found out that she had all of them sold and I wasn't going to have any of them which made me very angry and also made me just keep them all which is how I ended up with eight great Danes running around Boston in that crazy bed... 

They were wonderful dogs.. though I never did register them..  they were all registered in Laura's name. --.

 

Aside from being  a super intelligent Architecture for Manhattan Laura knew her dogs--and you will see BMW bloodlines in many Danes today- but having angered Laura, she would not give me a male to breed. Tiffany..  which ended up with me flying all around the mid West looking at great Dane stud dogs. and most people would not breed to my female as she was unregistered --- ( I ended up buying Mary The Super intelligent donkey from Kansas City)  

However I found the owner of country run Danes on the Hudson River willing to let me use   their “EARL” for $1000.

And I was off running... But I had a bunch of puppies by Earl so therefore I didn't want to breed him again and I found out it's not easy to find a nice sound healthy Great Dane in the United states..  which is how I ended up going to Europe It's almost easier to buy a puppy in Europe than to deal with the AKC here in the United states—

I just kept that scenario going for the next 25--30 years. basically the BMW bloodline was the strength of my females

and I used studs from Europe to keep the gene pool mixed.

 

Actually I bought the male dogs and for the most part parked them with friends and neighbors around here.

Which is why in Georgetown MA I think is where they both  are.. there are two stud dogs there are better than most of the others you'll find in the United states namely Tigger (harl) and Sir Richard--  who is the Merle from Claudia Bohemia’s kennel in the Czech Republic.  he is better bred than anything I found in the USA.

I think both are still there and  available.

 

The other problem is that I think all female from my breedable line have been spayed and neutered so there is no way of going forward with that .  If there is anyone still out there with an unspayed female from.. shall we call it carlene's line please let me know..  not too sure what I can do about it but I could think about it

 

I do hope that any of the Dane world I should say normal Dane world.. who is thinking of having a litter of pups do consider those two dogs I don't think you'll find any better anywhere else..  The people who have these stud  dogs basically on loan from me but scrap all the details.. I think Megan knows where they are and who they are.  I might have the phone number somewhere but all I ever had to do was make a phone call and the stud dog would appear in my kennel,, it worked very well for 20 odd years..  I worked very hard to mix  a dog from the Claudia Bohemia line  with my bmw dogs.

Here is laura with 5 huge danes in a tiny rowboat--- she took them – almost daily over to fire island “for a run” -there is not much boat left for any wiggle room...  she knew her dogs.  eventually she liked what I was doing.

 

Her other claim to fame was she had a lufthaunsa  pilot friend who used to bring her semen in his shirt pocket aand she bred many dogs in the ladys room of kenedy airpoort.

Noodle has had a rough morning .  He does not understand why people haven't figured out that when there are puppies in the house every up has a down----and regardless of where you put things---UP-----gravity with the help of puppies will make them go “down”----and in this morning's case he really didn't mean to pick up a wire along with his mashed water bottle... but that caused the tripod usually holding the camera to go down big time.... Not only that but the one camera became two pieces of Camera. And then it didn't move at all so noodle ran for my feet... and just laid there staring at the two pieces of camera lying so quietly on the floor..

” . I thought it must have died it didn't move.... And to make matters worse carlene has started telling me “down”--- and making me lie with my tummy on the floor...  until she says “noodle come” which is what I'm supposed to get up and run and see if she has any cookies.    it is very confusing..   there seems to be no point in  tummy “down”  and tummy “up”..  But the ways of humans are very strange..    I did have a lovely run around at a place she calls Meredith----with lockie and sizzle I found out there are birds to chase even if you never catch them---

I had trouble keeping up with lockie but I tried my best with my 4 little legs.. . Then we all rode around in the car while they tied An old piece of chain link fence to the back of our car.. so we could drive around in the places they keep the horses.. Until we rode into a place where there was a lot of water... Carlene’s car does not swim well.  So we had to get Mr. Meredith to come along with his great big odd  looking yellow vehicle...  To pull us backwards out of the mud... after which we drove around all the pastures while we dragged that chain link behind us--to spread out the “clumppies “and make the pastures all pretty again......

Then we went to a really strange place where they keep bunches of  people in funny chairs with wheels. .   I love going to those places because the people in those funny chairs have a frying pan where  they put treats. Fun .. but reallllly weird..... Mine is not to reason why”

 

Back to reality--  eventually we will get goldies farm equine rescue network, the veterans project, and a few other projects all in order and be able to set up some kind of budget---    the hay bill is a constant---  there is no variation---if you have a bunch of equines you must have hay--  and thankfully our camera crowd is taking care of that very nicely because we do use 70 to 100  bales  a week depending on the size of the bales ----that is a constant—however...    the variables like veterinary visits, fly covers, and  blacksmiths  are covered by the henny penny contributions---- and I am happy to give you a specific list of expenses   AS LONG AS YOU DON’T INSIST ON ACCOUNTING TYPE ACCURACY....

We have an official accountant to prepare our paperwork for the IRS pretty much on a yearly basis which is exceedingly expensive,,,   if I run this stuff off in a spreadsheet I really don't want to bother worry about the balance is being off by a $1.02.. BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD GIVE YOU SOME IDEA—LIKE--- THESE PLACES ARE THRILLED WITH OUR DONKEY AND HORSE---THAT WAS DEPENDENT ON MY SPENDING ? $1040 GETTING THE TRAILER   UPDATED AND PAPERWORK DONE...  PLUS THE ENTIRE FARM SHOWS A  NEGLECT FROM A COUPLE YEARS OF IGNORING “STUFF”.

HOW SIGNIFICANT? YOU MAY ASK???  WE HIRED A 40 YARD DUMPSTER WHICH WE FILLED IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. – I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE BILL IS FOR THAT – BUT I KNOW “TRASH” DEMANDS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR BUDGET---  THAT IS JUST ONE...

??H.R.PAPERWORK???? .... AND IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO HUMAN RESOURCES TYPE STUFF,  OSHA WOULD NEVR APPROVE MY  HOURS- MORE LIKE 14 HOUR DAYS  7 DAYS A WEEK....AND WHEN PUPS WERE BEING BORN IT WAS 24 HOUR DAYS... DID I GO ANYWHERE????  REFRESH MY MEMORY... 

   I THINK.... WHEN YOU TALK OF HOURS AND  VACATIONS...... I THINK I HAVE TAKEN 3 DAYS OFF IN THE PAST 22 YEARS... I WENT TO SEE SANDY ONE WEEKEND ... I DON’T REMEMBER ANY OTHER “TIME OFF”  EVEN IF I AM ALSO A VOLUNTEER

P.S. DON’T BOTHER  WITH THE PITY PART--- YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRAG ME SCREAMING TO GET ME ON A CRUISE SHIP- AND AN AIRPLANE IS NOT MUCH BETTER..... THO SANDY AND I DID HAVE FUN !!

 

at the moment.. we are flying by the seat of our pants--- AND MY THANKS TO ALL WHO KEEP US “KEEPING ON” AS YOU SO OFTEN PUT IT...

AND MANY THANKS TO CLOUD FOR ILLIUSTRATING OUR SENIOR HOME VISITS
